Odd thing, but I've got both of these apps on my TP. I do love the funkyness of TF3D but it's just not functional enough for me so I've installed the above.
On the Now screen there is a weather indicator on the top left corner. which today shows as cloudy. On the weather application on the main screen (5 day forecast) I get a different forecast. Surely they should be the same??
can anyone else with these two apps confirm if they see the same thing.
thanks
I have both running and have integrated SPB Weather into the the SPB Tab. Maybe you need to have a look at SPB Mobile Shell settings --> Tabs tab and make sure Spb Weather is there.
It could be that it is using some other old data from another Weather application ?
I actually use both together too, I think mobile shell has its own weather utility for which you can set the location and it is from this utility that the information displayed comes from. I have never tried to get the now screen to access the info from spb weather.
Personally speaking I also prefer turning tf3d off and use a combination of today plugins, i.e. spb pocket plus, mobile shell, diary, weather, devstate etc. This combination suits my needs better but each to their own I suppose.
hmm..odd....hopefully I explained correctly as I can't find any other settings
I have weather integrated on the SPB Tabs, (not realy much point in doing this though as the weather is displayed on the today screen and I don't need a tab to access it).
So, on the Now screen when you turn the phone on, across the top I have a small weather forecast, and then the notifications for email text and phone calls.
below this is the time date and then below this appointments etc.
if I close the now screen and I'm on the today screen, I have the date, then 4 tabs, then appointments, then my 5 day weather forecast.
I just can't work out why the two forecasts are different. I only have one city set up so I can't see it getting this data from anywhere else
What about in the Customize Now Screen, is SPB Weather ticked there?
As billu said, Spb Mobile Shell might have it's own weather and therefore this would explain the difference in reports, seeing as one is updated and the other is not.
Sorry just checked, I gave duff info in the last post, the now screen does take the info from spb weather. If you touch the weather symbol from the top left hand corner of the now screen the weather application comes up as you say. Then click the icon shaped like a gear near the bottom right (i.e. settings) and voala, spb weather configuration menu comes up. If you have multiple cities configured the topmost selected will be displayed. You can move cities up and down through the list. On my device the now screen weather info is consitent with spb weather's.
My reference to to mobile shell's own utility only applies to a tab available in mobile shell's today plugin.

By default, WM 6.1 shows the MRU at the top of the start menu.
But any ways to show this list in today screen, just as the way pocket plus shows the favorite shortcuts?
I know mobile shell can do this, but I want to have it on the default today screen.
Thx.
I have my HD2 for a couple of days now.
I've installed tools like BSB tweaks, S2U2, CSMI, jamsoft BG4ALL.
Now in my appointment screen (appt. for a day) I don't see the appointmens because the weatherforecast is ontop of them. If I scoll to another day, I see teh appointments, but the weatherforecast slides over them.
Is there a way to remove the weather forecast from the Apointments?
I've search everywhere but can't find a setting...
Please help!!!

Thanx!!
I will try it...
I have a samsung omnia II and installed spb which the mobilesence theme. Everything is just prefect except for calander and clock.
What i want to do is have the mobilsence agenda open the samsung calander (schedule.exe) in stead of the winmo default. The same goes for the clock and if there is a way to get it to show the alarm time as well when using the samsung clock.
I was able to change the text messages icon to open the samsung messaging app. I know i can just put a bunch of transparent icons over top of the widgets, but it will not work for 1 it still will not show the alarm time and 2 for agenda when you click it, it opens the entire week which i will loose. I would think this should be just a simple file edit and have it point to a different exe??

I have been looking for an app (free or pay) that displays your appointments for the day on the home screen like Windows Mobile displays them. I do not want it to take up the whole screen. Does anyone know of an application or widget that will work this way?

Try pure calendar widgets excellent app.
you are looking for a "Widget". a widget displays active information on your desktop. There are several calendar widgets available for free in the Android marketplace.
i use "Smooth Calendar".
if you use a site like AppBrain.com then you even search for "calendar widget". (do not include the quotes)
I use CalWidget. Free in the market and infinitely customizable. Not quite 'pretty', but best I've found for what your looking to do.
I'm just wondering if anyone has similar problem as me. I got a weather widget that disappears. It's still taking up space but is invisible. How do I know this you say? Well when you hold your finger over an empty space, it pops up the app screen in which it allows you to place shutcuts and widgets or set wallpaper. But if you place your finger on a location with an icon or widget you are able to move it.
The invisible widget area won't do anything but a reboot usually makes it reappear. I've even force close the app of the widget and still does nothing.
The widget I'm having problem with is weatherbug widget. I don't like the how the stock widget is taking so much space. And I don't need duplicate information on my screen. I just want an accurate weather and some other weather information. I don't need the city and date and time...I have time on the bottom right corner already and calendar widget shows date already. Why does weather widgets want to show you unnecessary information? And a lot of them aren't accurate. But this weatherbug is OK app, I usually do not like weatherbug on PCs but the android app is not annoying.
I had that with CNN widget, it's only happened twice, but still a bit weird
They're called zombie widgets, and you can clean them up using an app called elixir.
same thing happened to me with the youtube widget, but only once so far.
