looks pretty friggin good to me man. Is there a .cab file you can put together for this?
Putting the final touches on it as we speak
OrganicM said:
I was able to get the TestUIPlugin to work and update in realtime. I used mortscript to get values from "weather watcher mobile", which is free. Currently, you run the script, it loads weather watcher, copies over the forecast data, updates the registry entries for testuiplugin, updates the plugin, and closes weather watcher in the background. It's not very elegant right now, because it uses mortscript. Maybe someone can write a standalone exe based on my work.
Here's what it looks like right now. Any ideas to improve the layout ?

I was wondering the same thing as Pudge. It may not look exactly like you've mapped it out in your head...but it looks pretty darn good to me. A .cab would be great, Organic.

One question... This won't somehow change our home layout to the CHome Slim, will it? I like my festively plump slider panels the way they are! lol I just want the weather .cab.

Haha! fesitvely flump? I thought i was the only one who used that term!
Hahaha Actually it WILL, because I wrote this for myself. Buuuuuut, I will make an original version as well
Hey OrganicM, It looks sick but if i could suggest something, then it would be the title, instead of making the "temperature" the title, why not make it My Weather or something along those lines and underneath it - you could make a line for the temperature, upto u - otherwise it looks amazing - Keep up the good work and post a .cab when ur done
Good Luck !
I know, that's what I wanted to do initially, but this damn TestUIPlugin, will NOT let me do two lines of text!! Only thing I could do, is append the current temperature at the end of the forecast blurb... But it wouldn't really make it stand out.

About implementing it to any panels, slim or not...
Hi OrganicM!
Nice job you done with this app.
I took a look at your cab _setup.xml and I was wondering what needs to be changed to the Chome_320x240.cpr for the app to work, since I prefer my chubby panels and its icons and overall layout (just a matter of taste, you know).
Perhaps you could post a little step by step guide for the ones like me who want to implement it by hand, with the needed files in a single compressed file (zip, rar, your choice really, I've already got them from the cab ).
Thanks in advance.
Cheers.

If I'm not mistaken, I thought he intended to post the .cab for the "chubby panels" soon anyway. I am on the same page with you, Cassiano. I like my plump panels, but I'd like to install Organic's .cab too. I don't necessarily wanna change anything in my homescreen layout--aside from including the new weather panel.
Guys... read the first post.... There might be something there for ya.

Disregard my previous posts! I see you've laid everything out in the 1st post. Thanks man.
Is anyone else have trouble updating the city? I'm trying to get Seattle on here, but it won't find it by name, and if using the zip is keeps showing sunny Las Vagas... That sucks, mainly 'cause it nice there and not here... Thanks.
This thing is awesome. Just what I needed. However, is there a way to remove the photo and media pannel? I tried to edit the XML file but it doesn't change. Any ideas?
Thanks..
Just set the plugins as "disabled" right in the registry.
Updated first post again, this time I added a "last updated" time in the top right corner. This gets updated everytime the weather script runs, so you have an idea how recent the info is.
Alright...for some reason it won't allow my city to be displayed when setting up Weather Watcher. It'll take me to a blank IE screen. I made the change to my city in 'Options', like instructed. Then tried to open 'Update Weather'. It would take me back to the blank IE screen. On the homescreen--the weather sliding panel is blank and just has a sun in it. Is there something I'm not doing?

Alright I have loaded ROM's onto my phone but I am still pretty new to this, I am wondering if anyone can take the time to walk me through of how to get Home Screen's like these (the first one and the red one on PG1)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=378000
Thank you very much for any help you are willing to give.
P.S. what ever help I get I will be more then happy to give to other begginner's.
The big clock is called HTC Home and that's fairly easy to find, just make a simple search for it. The tray on the bottom looks like PHM Trays which you can get from PHM Tools.

Did you bother reading the thread or are you the type to look at pics and ask for help, right off the bat?
Actually I did take the time to read a lot of the post's but as I said in my first post I am pretty new to this stuff and a lot of the talk was quite confusing to me because of the short form's and such so program's and stuff like that.
Like I said before, I am just looking to see if some one has the time to help me, not looking for people to chirp about how new I am and such. Thank you.

Alright so I have read the first like 11 pages and no where in there have I found how to get those 2 Home Screen's running on my Dash?
Please help
As for the Red Carousel theme....go here.
Download the needed cabs in the bottom of his first post and read his install instructions.
As for the HTC home, if you READ where to get it from its in his first thread also...
- HTC Home
http://depositfiles.com/en/files/3306160
Download that cab.
Once you've downloaded the cabs...you transfer them to your phone using Active sync. Place them in your documents folder. Using your phone Resco Explorer program direct yourself to the My Documents folder and click on the cabs to install them.
If asked where to install them, pick Main memory (phone itself) not the memory card.
DO NOT UNZIP or UNRAR the CAB files.
After the cabs are installed. REBOOT.
Once rebooted, Click on start->settings->Home Screen->Home screen layout
Once there, choose which home screen...you'd like to have.
Done
Thank you for the help, I have one question though, I downloaded the courosel theme and unzipped it to a folder and then I copied to my from through My Computer (I'm not sure if that matter's?) but when I selected the Courosel theme in Home Screen, the text messages and voicemail stuff look's all messed up? Is that because I unzipped the file?
Another question came up....
I dled the LCD clock and unzipped it, copied the folder to my phone and then went to Resco Explorer and clicked the Setup.xml and it did a bunch of stuff, I thought it installed but then when I rebooted my phone nothing happened?
DO NOT UNZIP or UNRAR the CAB files.
Jesus man
the lcd plugin is a CAB
If you need help anymore this member (Gixxum) is the man to go to.
Alright thank you very much, I didn't realize that that was a cab file since I have never worked with a cab before.
I installed the cab. and got a message saying that I may need an older version of WM?
I then rebooted and the LCD clock was not there?
I couldnt edit again so I has to do another post, the problem I was having was just that I didn't go to the background image and change it to courosol.
thank you.

Thanks everyone.
alright I have one more question and I thought I would post it here instead of opening another thread. When I am using txt messaging and I sent a txt (I will use this as an example) at 8:01 PM and some one sends me a txt back in the same minute it will say that they replyed at 7:01 PM. It always says one hour earlier for replys? I have searched through options but I cannot seem to find where to change it?
Thank you ahead of time.
Are you sure your time is right? Go to settings --clock & alarm-- and scroll to where on earth you are. Do a reset try that.
I checked the times man and NOTHING! this is kind of brutal, it's not like it's a huge problem but it's just ******* frustrating, any ideas guys?
Whats the time difference on the clock?
It is finally here for download, Weather with radar,forecast,hurricane,and a SYSTEM MONITOR!!!!
For Forum Viewers:
I am pleased to release the latest updated version of our weather for wm 6.1.
I have spent lots of hours with Showaco revamping the layout. We are please to see that our old cab had hundreds of downloads, so we're pretty sure you are all gonna love this.
Check it. We have gotten rid of a forecast panel that messes up the layouts for one of your other panels. We went with a complete revolution to the way you display multiple full screen panels, with different info, and pics. Guaranteed no other weather exists like this for your WM6.1 smartphone.
We hope you like it alot. This new forecast will switch between your current homescreen, no matter what it is, EVEN IF IT IS NOT ONE OF OUR LAYOUTS!!! That's right, if you mod your screen, but still want to use the forecast panels, no problem. Just go to the link in your start menu, and it will switch to our forecast panels, and press on any of the forecast days or their right soft key, and BAM. You are right back to your original homescreen. So you can use one of the several layouts we preset for you, or you can make your own. If you do, I highly suggest using Showaco's CPR and DLL switcher app. It is very sweet for us, modders.
Below are instructions on how to install and how to use. Same as before, there are layouts for 5 day,4,3,2 day, and Current Day forecast for the clock, as well as layouts with a monitor with background for the clock or without. I have added several new options in the advanced options menu. One of which is to enable audibles during updates. So, if you want, you can have auditory announcement during the updating process. Use if you want or not. The possibilites are becoming endless.
LOOK AT POST #33, FOR MORE PICS OF OTHER ADDITIONAL LAYOUTS!!!
NOTE: I have added a new homescreen layout for windows mobile 6.1 standard. It is a sliding panel with media homescreen. It is just set up best for our new app. So, just go to the homescreen layouts section at any time and choose, kennys sliding panel. That's it. Your phone will be complete.
Instructions:
******MAKE SURE YOU READ THE UNINSTALL NOTES & BACKUP YOUR REGS BEFORE INSTALLING, IF YOU ARE UNFAMILIAR************
1. Download the cab from xda site from link below.
2. Copy the cab to your smartphone.
3. Navigate, using your phone, to the place that you copied the cab, and click on the cab's icon.
4. You will then automatically begin installing the application.
5. Once install is complete, go to ODSHOWeather Options in your start menu and set up all of your options.
6. Reboot if needed.
7. If weather update has not already been completed at this point. Run weather update. If you are not sure where to start it,
just press on any page in the forecast panel, or access it through your start menu.
8. Enjoy!!!
Uninstall Notes:
If you wish to uninstall the weather app, instructions are as follows:
1. Go to settings and remove programs. Once in remove programs, select the ODSHOWeather WM6.1 Weather
2. It will uninstall, it takes up to a few minutes.
3. If any settings are messed up. Update your regs from before install.
4. To remove start menu links, just navigate using explorer on your phone or pc to remove the lnk to our app. That's it.
5. For any further questions, just Post or pm Outerdepth or Showaco on the xda forums.
Usage Instructions:
1. We have set the clock right soft key to switch to the forecast panels, press it to switch to those.
2. To return to your homescreen, just press the center button on any of the forecast panels or their right soft keys.
3. The radar, hurricane, and air quality pages have center button (actionurl) linked to the apps that update those.

For anyone that needs to find their city code, use this link and change the location in this url to the name of your city and then go to it and it will give a list of all cities worldwide that have that name. Get your location from there and enter it exactly as it appears in the quotes, but do not use the quotes.
http://hadle.accu-weather.com/widget...ation=calcutta
So, for this link above, if you were looking for Calcutta, India. Go to this link, and you will see a line like this:
<location cnt="1" city="Calcutta" state="India(Bangla)" location="ASI|IN|IN036|CALCUTTA" />
So your location to enter in to options would be :
ASI|IN|IN036|CALCUTTA
This should work for cities worldwide.
OMG, looking at this one cannot help but wonder if we really need to know all that sh!t
I agree, it does look very "busy". Heh

Thanks for the input man. I appreciate it. It is very busy if you have the monitor, but not much busier than it would be with iconbar up top. That has about the same amount of plugins as mine, but I have included a battery meter and system monitor. It's all on one line, just like the iconbar, and with the iconbar removed from the top, it takes up the exact same amount of space. I am sorry to hear that you don't like the busy-ness of it. Just so you know the monitor is an addon. If you don't like it, there are two other layouts without it. So no need to hate. Anything else? That was a really short reply, no other ideas? Well, if you think of something else, please, feel free to respond.

Hey dude, good to hear from you. I haven't heard from you in a while. It's nice to know you are still around. I hoped you would like the newly updated weather app. I notice you obviously think it looks too busy for you as well, cool. No need for the monitor, that's cool, I know you already have one anyways. I am thinking about making the different plugins for the monitor optional, so you can pick which ones you want and don't. If you think that's a good idea or anyone else does, please, feel free to reply. Hope you're having a good one. Take it easy, brother.
great app! I do have a question/concern...
After I installed it and did several updates, the temperatures for the 5 day stayed the same for a while, but after a few times, they finally adjusted to todays date, but with the same temps as before. Example: for wednesday it said low was 72 and high was 98, after updating it said friday was 72 - 98 even though the sliding forecast panel had the high on friday being 86.
Also, the temp. reading next to the clock stayed at 82 degrees all day and still hasn't went up or down. I live in the south and I know when it isn't 82 lol.
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks again.
I'm downloading now. Looking forward to trying this out.
Living in the UK, I suspect the radar and hurricane warnings will be of little practical use but hey, I'm connected. I know what's happening.
Off to play with my new toy, will report back ...
I think I can help you
No problem, if you open your reg editor and go to HKLM\Software\Outerdepth\KPWeather, find the entry that says: fupdate.
Change that value to 1. It will run the app in its entirety. This will then reload your screen at the end of the update. What happens on this fupdate=1, is your phone runs the update for the forecast panel.
We didn't want to update the forecast panel on every update, because it adds time to updating the weather, so we have it set to update the forecast days on every 8 times, this updates the forecast panel, and the forecast icons and data on the clock panel. Sorry for the confusion.
I live in the south as well, Memphis, TN. It has horrible temps here, so I understand. I am not sure about it not updating these values for you.
PM me, and we will get to the bottom of this, quickly I am sure. Sounds like a refresh problem that's all. We will get to the bottom of this. Just pm me.

Look at previous post!!
This is for everyone, if you are having trouble getting the forecast icons to change at 1st, look at the previous post, this should update them once you run weather update. I will also upload a reg key for this. It is located below.
Sorry for any confusion. I will make the updated cab fix this, so when you 1st install it, there is no problem. For now, just download this reg key below, install it by clicking on it in your explorer, then run weather update. Thanks.
Edit: I have a new cab with this updating the everything the 1st time fixed. Also, I have left out some pngs on the storage card. The new cab has them. Sorry for any inconvenience. It is not prob. Just download the new cab and it will solve your problems. Sorry about any confusion. Here's the link:

I have to. I messed up and left some pngs out of the cab for the storage card. It will not update the forecast icons on the clock panel, so this cab fixes that. Everything else should be good. Sorry for any inconveniences.
I have tried everything under the sun to keep this app smooth. Sorry for wasting time for anybody. This is the breaks when writing software. I am glad though, to see that people don't give up. Hope you all enjoy the app!!

That's the new link to the cab.
Edit: I have given this to Faus Zayas from our forums here, this kid knows his sh!t too. He has run the fix, and now all digits update correctly. Thanks to him for being my guinea pig.
Okay.
I uninstalled the previous weather app by NRG which has been trouble-free and installed your cab as per instructions. All seemed well and what appeared to be the present conditions and forecast for somewhere within the 'Rebellious Colonies' appeared.
98F - bugger me that's cosy.
I went to options and input the magic code for the nearest place to me, a town about 10 miles and 1500ft from me, and updated.
'No data available' - I am disconsolate.
I've checked the settings, reset the phone, checked the settings, burned offerings, bought it a beer; to no avail. The cat's made itself scarce again ...
So. What have I stuffed-up?
Does it just need more beer? Or something much more fiendishly clever?
I do like the system bar, although a Bluetooth icon appears even if BT is switched off.
I've made a mess of this haven't I?
*** EDIT ***
Belay that Mr Christian, promptly uninstall our version and replace it with the latest.
Oh yes, and you can stop flogging the cabin-boy now ...
so far, works like a champ!
Thanks for your hard work on it!!
Bugger, I haven't the foggiest, what you just said?
No, just kidding. I understood most of what you said. Either that was for a quick jest or that was a drunken rant. Either way, that was frickin swizzle up in the hizzle for rizzle my nizzle. That's izzle.

Hey everyone, I wanted to say:
I am glad the new cab seems to have fixed all probs. I want to add that there are other digits you can use that are in your storage card. They vary in color. You can customize this with these. For now, until I get this as an option. You can just copy the digits in any of the digits folders, and paste them over the originals. Then reupdate the weather to see your reflected changes.
There are many to choose from. Hope you enjoy.

It could be done by addng a current conditions page to the forecast panel. But not with multiple days on one page, only current for one page and each forecast day with its own page.
Another way is I could write you something that you could map to a key which would let you show and hide clock weather with the push of a button. The change would take a couple of seconds it wouldn't be instant.
Love this app!! Guys feel free to put it in the directorys over at TxCaesar. I have some questions:
the system monitor, seems to show messages when there are none, and the status of the batter is wrong. it almost seems like its just a pic file..am I doing something wrong?

This theme made me switch from TouchFlo3D to WAD2. I did some corrections to better suit my needs. For example startmenu panel wasn't fading out when certain icons were tapped.
I managed to redirect messaging icon into sms/mms folder instead of main messaging screen but I have a problem with other icon. You designed My computer icon to open file explorer. I would like it to open programs directory just like windows start menu->programs link does. I can open /windows/start menu/programs in fexplorer by passing path as a parameter but it's not how I would like it to be. Do you know what command should be issued to achieve that? I googled for answer and searched xda forums but without any results. Something tells me it has something to do with shell32.exe but I'm a noob in WM world and I don't even know where to start.
Thanks in advance.

Don't make the "my computer" change you desire more complex then it has to be Just go into author mode, delete the my computer icon. Next just click and hold where the icon used to be and select new>shortcut Navigate to the folder you wan to open. Select the button images you want (note my computer icon is in the \storage card\WAD_Icons\MALLMAN\Mallman_vista folder) You can select both images to be the same if you want or make it different on a press. THat should work for you
bug fix coming today guys. Hold out on installing this for a few until I post it.
Bugs:
1. launching windows media player from start menu closes the sidebar and it should be fading the start menu.
2. Launching My Computer from start menu doesnt hide the start menu
3. Launching Camera from start menu doesnt hide the start menu
4. Launching control panel from start menu doesnt hide the start menu
Thanks for the tip to the bugs Sidewinder
Woot! A theme! .
Great work Mallman, you rock.
Hmph, I still want a theme with shades of brown/greenish with a bit of a comical touch to it and playfull buttons with slightly round edges... I'm brambling.
I tried to make a theme with the background I attached but I just massively fail at WAD.
Anyyyways! Great job mate!
P.s. with the fix your gonna make, will it be a complete new WAD folder thing or will it be an additional small file?
Solution you suggested gave me the same results as opening fexplorer.exe with path to folder parameter but your way is more elegant, thanks . Nevertheless I treat it as a temporary solution. If I find out how to create link like start->programs has I'll share with it of course.
Speaking of bugs let me add one more:
Hiding startmenu panel doesn't hide shutdownmenu panel.

Yes I noticed that as well when I was adding some sounds to the theme. I will put another version out soon with sounds and that fix. thank you for your testing!!!
I finally figured out how to change all the backgrounds of all the tabs, but i'm very gentle and understating that the whole process is rather complicated.... Is there no genius/dev that can make an application to change the background picture of all the tabs? Someting like the app of HTC on the setting tab, that you select a picture and it applies to all the tabs.
Just my 2 cents....after a long struggle with the backgrounds......sigh....
i'm even willing to donate if the app turns out good and user friendly!!!
I would like it too.
For example an extra option in Diamond TF3D Configurator or even a new HD TF3D Configurator with a background for alll tabs would be great.
Because i have not figured it out yet.
This is what i got with my try
Hi guys, the search button does not bite.
But I do not want to be. -> [SOLVED] background for all tabs etc.
reading is also an art.......
i believed i already told this, but here we go again:
i already managed the background for all tabs, but there are a lot of things you need to do to make it work, what i was suggesting is that someone smart makes an application that relieves the user of all the manual labor and automates the process.
i guess not a lot of people think this idea is good or even possible.......
The idea is great ! But, i've seen some tutorials to do it... i don't think it's possible to make a PPC app.
We need a Desktop PC app to open manila files, resize background image, resize canvas, save image as manila image, open with another program, do some stuff with hexa decimal data...
Bumping this thread.
I've seen the other one about configuring your own Background Tab, but it seems like too much Ball Ache.
Would be ideal if it were automated through an App.
Any genius developers out there ?
Would be superb if someone could make a app for this!
It could be done, but thats not the one you do in an afternoon. Too many people using too many dirty mods, and taking all that into account, its a bonebreaking job cause you have to take care of that or people will complain. I gave that a thought, but came to the conclusion i'll postpone that.

IMHO that should've been included in TF3D on the first place. HTC included the option for the main page, can't figure out why they didn't make it change all the tabs in the first place.
Seems like this IDEA is already being implemented.

sounds great! i will go take a look!
and it also works great!
so no need for this thread anymore
It must be really frustrating for the devs that create these apps/CABs that people dont spend a little time reading/searching.
If you did, you would see that it is as simple as setting your background wallpaper.
Hi guys,
I seem to be having some problems. I previously sliced roloracer's colored topbar theme with the new delicacy theme to acquire some great effects. but now i need it in .cab form for others who want to colored topbar. i have all the files and my .xml in a zip file. if anyone wants to take a look at it and compile the cab and tell me what the heck i did wrong it would be greatly appreciated. shoot me a pm or post if you want me to send you the file for you to look at. it's always somethings small.. and i'm sure i'm missing it. proofreaders make the world go round.
Send me a PM with the link & where the files go and i'll shoot it back
I know what you did wrong!
you sliced "my colored topbar" instead of making your own.

well you know... i spent all day at the state fair and then doing homework and by the time it came to photoshop time my eyes where getting tired.. so i saved the hard work and went to the coding... but apparently that requires mental powers that aren't there.. i swear i need to mute my email notification. every time i go to sleep i get a message from xda with a reply waking me up again. if you give me pixel sizes i think i'll create some amazing topbar images. all you have to do is make the cab.. since thats the part i seem to fail at.
