DAY & Date on Home screen - Touch Pro, Fuze General

Anyone managed to include the DAY of week in the homescreen?

re
Install Advanced Config Tool
Goto Menu - More settings - TouchFlo 3D and set Home page date format:
dddd - full day name (Monday eq.)
ddd - short day name (MON eq.)
For example: dddd, dd.MM.yyyy show on homepage Monday, 21.04.2008

Thanks derby00. Do you have the link to download please?
Thanks
Edit: I found the link. Now v2.0.2.0

Strangely again, I cant get this working with my TP
It does change the appearance on homescreen, if TF3D is disabled. But TF3D still shows in mmm d, yyyy.
Not so that it would annoy me, but anyway...

re
im using for changing date show Advanced Configuration Tool and it work good in Touch Flo 3D on Touch Pro...

What does Advanced Tool actually do? Does it change a registry key or what? I did not find anything related to the date format in the registry other than Today Screen date!!

re
i thing Advanced Config Tool can modify more then regestry entry, in advanced option for Touch Flo 3D you can add Call Log tab to TF3D and date format...

HELP : bad display of picture in Today's screen

Hello,
I just change my HTC Cruise for a new one (accident) and I have a problem with the new one :
The picture of my desktop seems not clear (like if there is a grey film on it).
More I can't modify my toolbar color.
I see this problem only on Today
I am on SFR, Windows Mobile 6 Professionnel
ROM Version : 1.25.163.3 FRE
ROM date :18/12/07
Radio : 1.58.21.23
Protocole : 25.65.30.04H
If you set a background through the home screen menu in settings then it defaults the background to 65% opacity.
To get around this open the image's context menu (select and hold) from the file explorer and set it as the today background through there, it will let you set the opacity (which you want to set to 0 if you want a normal image).
Hello,
Thanks a lot !
Perfect now.

Bugger!

UPDATED! 27/09/10 - Touch Tools for HTC 2.0 Suite PR1.1 Released!

The Touch Tools thread has moved. For support and updates please goto the HD2 (Leo) Forum thread. Click Here!!​
Be great to have everything in one place! Keep us posted!
Here's the "tweaks" I have used:
Nodata
Aktogglewifi
psShutXP (display off, turn off, soft reset)
FDCSoft TaskMgr
hc4 ObexInboxEx VGA (send bluetooth files to SD card)
htcAddicts CleanRAM (not sure if this works 100%)
David Andrs Batti (battery indicator across top of screen)
Showaco All_Programs (4 column Start, Programs for TF3D) - but the implementation isn't bug free
4 column programs and settings - WM standard
Rotation control
Would like to have better implementations of:
Birthday, anniversary reminder - currently using NS birthday
Short cut to Device lock (save wear & tear on hardware key) - the options around seem to take memory or resources
Cheers
will it be program like advanced config or hd tweak or diamond tweak only for topaz?
TD2 Tools - Programs Tab Fix - Released: 26/08/2009
If you are experiencing problems and bugs with the Programs Tab, you need to search for a patched manila file to make it function correctly. The setting option in TD2 Tools only Shows or Hides the Programs Tab.
so i guess you need to see what's in diamond+hd tweak & advanced config & sktools and pick from there whatever relevant for topaz.
A method for preventing the web browser from ever attempting to use 3G / EDGE for data connections while still allowing data for MMS.
Is such a thing possible?
Nice idea !
So,
- Allow TF3D2 in landscape
- Enable change of TF3D2 programme launcher background
- Enable change of colours and fonts of TF3D2
- Enable to add new shortcuts in the programme launcher page
- Boost TFL3D Performance
- Speed up camera shutter Speed
- Enable to change softkeys
- Enable assigning actions to hardware buttons
- Audio louder
Some already works on my Topaz but there is no app yet. So, thank you.
yes, there is a way to prevent the PDA from connecting to 3G and EDGE every time: settings - all settings - connections - advanced network - in the HSDPA/HSUPA tab, select enable HSDPA only. I did this and I've no problems...
post your views please people!
Some suggestions:
-TouchFLO: option to choose between wm6.5 start (or 6.1 start menu) & manila programs tab.
-Comm manager: option to set 8 buttons & choose which. (in advanced config i can choose 8 buttons & press ok it writes error but still saved).
-Camera: high res panorama, additional modes thats not enabled by default.
-Enable/Disable notifications manager.
-Enable/Disable threaded sms.
from advanced config:
-Performances settings.
-Power management settings.
from hd tweak:
-Call settings.
-Camera settings.
from sktools:
-Enable/Disable wifi-g
This might be good replacement for many tweaking app alltogether like hdtweak, advanced config, sktools, gconfig...
hope you make it......good luck!
Latest Update!!!!
White List integration is now implemented and fully functional! if you would like a chance to test the alpha version then please drop me a pm.
BR
I know I'm late but can you add functionality from the touchincall tweak also (maybe in next version)? would be very handy all tweaks in 1 prog. especially keeping light on while calling and putting it upside down for speaker/conference are nice!
hope you get it 2 work!
So Gurus .........
When this great tweak program will be up for try???
Hope it will be much user friendly than Advance Config. tool.
this somehow related to Tom's Topaz Setting Tool?

no, my program has nothing to do with this one, however, it looks really impressive compared to mine. I have designed mine with simplicity in mind, so it will only contain relavent settings to tweak.
Released! Grab it now!
Sounds very interesting, lyriquidperfection! Yet some screenshots would be highly appreciated...!
screenshots are to follow, havent got time at the minute, but feel free to test it and let me know what you think!
I installed it! It is nice... It would be good however, if the user (especially if he is of average knowledge, like me! ), knew what the default value in each setting is. For example, I do not know what is the default value of the "Enlarge Start Menu" or "Enable PopUp UI" value is, or what they do...

The settings for each item are read from the registry upon application starting. so if you install this app after a hard reset, you will see straight away what the defaults are as to which boxes are checked and which ones arent!

Please consider a donation and/or contribute to the forum to show your support! If you have done one or both of these then PM me with your UIC code and E-Mail address and ill generate an AuthKey for you to remove the Nag Screens!
If you have already donated then PM me with your PayPal Transaction Number, UIC code and E-Mail address and ill send you the AuthKey.
If you have less then 100 posts then you really havent contributed much in which case you will have to put up with the Nag Screens until you contribute to the forum.
If you already have an AuthKey, copy the file into the Touch Tools installation folder, usually located in Program Files. The AuthKey will automatically be installed next time you launch Touch Tools.
Hopefully this new system means that everyone will be able to fully use Touch Tools 2.0 Suite with the only difference being non-contributors and leeches will get the Nag Screens! Good Day!

Okay, after working really hard to add HD2 compatibility to Touch Tools, you may be asking yourself, "Why do we need another tweaking app?"
Well thats a good question, This app offers more or less everything that the other tweaking apps do, but in addition, you can do the following:
- HARD reset capability
- Enable / Disable Manila Clock flips at the click of a button
- Easy to use White List manager for rotating apps with import and export functions.
- Easy to use volume control utility to decide which apps you want to use the slim volume control while using the volume buttons.
- GPS management so you can tweak your settings.
- Phone related settings
- AUTO DATA DISCONNECTION that works
- DATA CONNECTION manager, allows you to turn on/off connections and enable/disable 'Always On' status.
- Show or hide the default games: 'Bubble Breaker' and 'Solitare' from the click of a menu option.
Plus there will be lots more coming! Alot of this development is already complete and working however, there are still some HD2 specific features to implement.
Please post your views and ideas of what you would like me to include.
Remember, its YOUR device, so why not make it YOURS?!
Waiting for it, thanks

Hi I have considered using the SDK already and decided to make my own controls in the end to get the functionality exactly how I want them.
I also wanted to steer away slightly from the official HTC look and make something with a clear, concise and easy to use GUI.
I stuck with .NET CF 2.0 due to past issues with custom ROMS on the TD2.
Touch Tools for HTC has now been released!
Please leave your comments and feedback!
Amazing!!!Many thanks!!!
You, my friend are a genius.
Donation coming your way when I get home.
Thank you.
Looking good, however the max Icon per row for Start Menu is 4?

hi, what is the issue you are having with this setting? It will only work correctly if there are no 3rd party cabs installed that modify the start menu layout.

I just installed Touch Tools on my HD2. I like the user interface settings options, and a face down mute ring??!! Genius! A lot of the phone settings should have come with the phone, so you are right in the fact that we should take advantage of this tool set. So far hasn't affected any of my third party aps, just an LED one which I just had to turn back on after. Great work.

Thanks, the LED app you mentioned, you should be able to remove that now as Touch Tools has an option for enabling/disabling the LED notifications in settings which is probably why it interfered with your LED app.

What a great app. I have two questions:
1)I installed on an TMous HD2, but the HD2 options is deactivated. Just "greyed out" on the menu. How can I get to these settings?
2)how embarrassing to ask this but...How the dickens do you save the settings? I don't see a save button, and when I exit the settings are not saved.
Tanks for your help

Hi, thanks for letting me know, I need you to go into Device Information in Touch Tools, click on the 'Hardware' tab and tell me the EXACT Device Model ID. I based the activation of the HD2 Options menu on the device model ID. So for example here, the device model is: 'HTC HD2 T8585'. If yours is different to this then please let me know because I will then have to patch Touch Tools and release an update.
Secondly, to apply the settings, you need to go to the Options menu and click 'Apply Settings'.
Hope this helps.
Hi thanks for your quick reply!
first, my Device Model ID is exactly, T-Mobile_LEO
Secondly...Oh, fer cryin' out loud. How could I have missed that! (maybe you have a bug such that the first three times I look at that menu, the "apply settings" option is invisible).
Cheers!
great app !
but one question ... will you offer a release for LEO-users with WM 6.5.X ???
This would be perfect.
Thanks.

If you are a T-Mobile US HD2 owner, you will have experienced a bug where the HD2 Options menu was disabled after loading Touch Tools.
Please re-download the CAB in the first post as this issue has now been resolved.

Massive THANKS to jmart518 for the cab files !!!​
CHANGELOG IN POST 3 - CHECK THERE FOR LATEST VERSION INFO
Well here it is, finally! What started out as three of us playing about with basic layouts and text colours has morphed into 6 weeks worth of work in my spare time creating from scratch a completely new WVGA theme for Weatherpanel. Every layout has been written from scratch, pretty much every icon, background, transition, etc has been created specifically for DDT (except the actual weather icons which is a modified set of Rumball's static Diamond VGA icons as they are without doubt the best weather icon set out there) and this is the result - we hope you like it!
This thread originally started out as a tutorial for getting Weatherpanel up and running on your HD2, giving it somewhere to live (in our case Second Today from Chi-Tai) and linking it using CHTE to be the default weather app. I've removed most of the rather longwinded background behind the project from this post as I'm sure most of you have read it by now, however for new visitors to our little HD2 WP community, welcome and we hope you find what you're searching for here! Weatherpanel really is the most comprehensive weather app out there - it may be old but it is still the best as far as information, accuracy and user customisation goes. Now with this new theme we reckon that visually and from an intuitive UI point of view it blows the other weather apps away (and it's free!)
Before we start I must give credit where due to Marsware, the original creators of Weatherpanel, Chi-Tai for Second Today and of course the remarkable Mssrs Cookiemonster & JCM for the unbelievably superb CHT & CHTE without all of whom none of this would have been possible. Thanks also to my two brothers in insomnia - Davej and Troed whose initial tweaks to the original Phatphinger and Diamond themes set us off down this road in the first place, and for keeping me going over the last few weeks - thanks guys!
Right, so here's why - Basically, fed up with the lack of information on the Sense weather tab I was looking for a way to click on the weather section of the Home tab and be taken to a much better weather app than the weather tab. Days and weeks of searching and experimentation finally led me to the following solution - Weatherpanel (an old WM Today plugin) given a home in Second Today which is in turn set as the preferred weather app in CHTE. It is all beautifully simple and works perfectly.
Let's get this out of the way before we start in BIG RED LETTERS:​
This does not replace the Sense weather tab !!!​
It is still there and can be accessed from your slider as usual. This setup simply directs a touch on the weather element of CHT to Second Today & Weatherpanel.​
About DAVEJ's Animated Icon Set​
My very good friend Dave has spent way too many hours editing Rumballs original VGA animated icon set and resizing the various sets to make them fit this theme. The icons set is huge at over 88Mb! Unfortunately WP uses a rather crude MNG image format (renamed .wpa) which means very large files compared to gifs. As a consequence the size of the main screen large animated icons has had to be kept smaller than we would ideally have liked because to make them the same size as the static icons would have meant each file was way over 10mb and caused WP to run at a snails pace or crash altogether. So Dave arrived at the best compromise he could to balance size over performance. The smaller sets are absolutely fine. We have culled frames in many of them to keep the overall size down and have made them all single play. And as you go up in the various sizes Dave has thinned out the sets progressively until the Huge ones on the main screen have just the most common weather types animated and the rest are static (otherwise you'd have had a 150Mb icon set!). They do slow WP down a bit but we think they are well worth it! We all run both icon sets and themes and switch between them as the mood takes us...
IF YOU WANT TO USE THE ANIMATED ICONS YOU MUST INSTALL THE RELEVANT AI (ANIMATED ICON) VERSION OF THE THEME AFTER THE MAIN INSTALL HAS COMPLETED - INSTRUCTIONS INCLUDED BELOW!
Here is the walkthrough:​
IMPORTANT FOR NEW USERS AND EXISTING USERS UPDATING TO THE NEW THEME:
For some reason the maximum useable screen area for WP differs between 6.5 and 6.5.x ROMS. Basically in 6.5 ROMs WP can be set to a maximum visible height of 720 pixels, whereas 6.5.x can go to 760 pixels (proper full screen below your taskbar). Also, we have discovered that Weatherpanel takes it's time format from your main phone settings (12hr/24hr) and as the layouts I originally wrote were for 24hr there were errors on screen if you are using 12hr time format. I have therefor created two complete versions of the theme so make sure you download the correct one for your WM version, each with three layout options in both 12 and 24hr format, otherwise the theme will not look right and you may be left with a scrollbar and overlapping elements on screen. Also, you must pay particular attention to the setup instructions for Second Today on first run - Disable Command Bar - as otherwise you will not get full screen and instead will have an unsightly scrollbar down the right hand side of your screen.
FULL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR NEW USERS​
(ADDITIONAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR ANIMATED ICON SET IN THIS COLOUR)​
There are two cab files linked to below which will do 90% of the installation for you. Make sure you download the correct cab for your WM version (6.5 or 6.5.x). Both cabs can be used for installs with or without CHT, and include the necessary reg settings for both CHT 1.8.5 and CHT 2.0
1. Download the relevant cab file for your WM version:
COMPLETE CAB INSTALL FOR WM 6.5
COMPLETE CAB INSTALL FOR WM 6.5.x
If you want the option of using Dave's animated icon set you will also need to download and unzip the relevant additional AI (Animated Icons) theme folder :
ANIMATED ICONS ADD-ON FOR WM 6.5
ANIMATED ICONS ADD-ON FOR WM 6.5.x
2. Download and unzip one or both of the icon sets:
STATIC ICON SET
DAVEJ'S ANIMATED ICON SET
IMPORTANT - When unzipping files you may find that you end up with a folder within a folder (DDT Mod Diamond WVGA Static Icons>DDT Mod Diamond WVGA Static Icons, same with icons folder) - Make sure you take the 'inner' folder out and use it to copy as if you forget to do this the icons will not appear in Weatherpanel
3. Install the cab to your storage card (you can put it in main memory if you like but the icon files will need to go there too and they are big folders (around 17Mb for the Static Icons and 88Mb!!! for the Animated Icons) - it runs perfectly well from the SD card). The cab will then install Second Today automatically to your device, and Weatherpanel and the theme to your storage card.
4. When the cab finishes intalling Weatherpanel runs through an extract process and will probably leave you with a WP window asking you to select language (default is English). Select your language then press your hardware back key. Then you can click OK as normal after a cab install.
5. Now you need to copy the complete unzipped icon set folder(s) to Storage Card>Program Files>Marware>Weatherpanel>Icons. If you are installing the animated icon set you also now need to install the unzipped AI theme folder to Storage Card>Program Files>Marsware>Weatherpanel>Themes
6. SOFT RESET
7. Now you need to open Weatherpanel for the first time. If you are using CHT then simply touch on the weather element of your home tab. If you are not using CHT then you need to go to Start Menu>Second Today and click on Second Today. First time you open it you will either get a blank screen with a message at the top saying invalid layout or you will see the Second Today settings window. If you see the few lines of text at the top of an otherwise blank screen then simply touch on this message and it will open the Weatherpanel settings screen. If you see the Second Today settings window it means that the ST settings haven't 'stuck' during the install so you need to do the following before proceeding:
7.1. On the plugins tab check the box beside Weatherpanel and make sure NO other boxes are checked
7.2. Still on the plugin tab check 'Use Custom Background' and then browse to whatever wallpaper you want for your main WP screen - don't use anything too light as some of the text won't show up!
7.3. On the display tab delete any text in the Window-Title box
7.4. Check the box beside 'Disable Command Bar' - THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT!!!
Once you have made these changes click on the right softkey to accept the settings and you will be taken to the blank screen with the few lines of text at the top (touch on the text at the top of the screen), or directly to the WP settings window.
8. You then need to set up Weatherpanel by doing the following:
NB There is no confirm or back softkey in the WP settings screen so once you have entered all you need to on a certain screen you need to press your hardware back key to return to the previous screen or to exit settings altogether.
8.1 Add your cities (NOTE - WP does not utilise My Location so you have to manually enter locations you want weather info for) which is just a case of clicking 'Add New', then entering your city name in the 'Search For' box.
8.2 Once you’ve added each new city you then need to add weather images for each city (if you want weather maps to show up). If all your cities are in the same part of the world (i.e. Europe) then you just need to add the same image(s) for each city. I’m in the UK so all my cities use the same Europe maps. For more info on finding and adding weather images look HERE and try http://www.weathercharts.org/ - thanks again Troed
8.3 Once you’ve added all your cities and images click on the Display tab. The theme, icon set and layout are all already preselected by the cab install. You do however have a choice of six possible DDT layouts to select from in the Layout dropdown list (V2+, V2Mid, V2Lite in either 12 or 24hr format - see below). Select the layout you would like to try first, and make sure you select the correct version for the time format you use on your phone. If you are wanting to use the animated icons and have followed the instructions correctly to this point you need to change the Theme to the AI theme you will have in the Theme dropdown. Then simply choose your preferred layout as before, and in the Icon dropdown select the Animated icon set.
Once you’ve done this then click your hardware back key and you should then see the main WP display for the first city in your list. The left/right arrows beside the location name let you scroll through your cities. To exit the WP screen back to wherever you were simply click your hardware back or home key.
Job done
If once you've followed the installation instructions you are having any issues with not seeing the full screen, or having a scrollbar down the right hand side of the screen (and you have definitely installed the correct version of the theme for your WM version) please do the following:
With Weatherpanel open press your hardware Start Menu button. The open the Second Today folder and click on SToday Settings. In the Display tab make sure that 'Disable Command Bar' is checked. Exit by pressing the right softkey and Weatherpanel should now look correct.
About User Translation
THIS WILL ONLY WORK WITH DDT V2 - NOT PREVIOUS VERSIONS​
This final edition of the theme is now fully user translatable through the use of the lang.txt file attached at the bottom of this post. All you need to do is download the file, open it in any text editor (Notepad is perfect for the job) and translate the text on the right hand side of each entry. The attached sample is for German users so if you want DDT in German then simply use this file! Once you've completed your translation save the file as lang.txt and copy it to the main Weatherpanel folder on your storage card (Storage Card>Program Files>Marsware>Weatherpanel).
There are a few things to bear in mind when you are translating:
1. Please stick as closely as possible to the number of characters in the english version of each text entry as this is the text the theme was designed around and if you increase the number of characters it will mess up the look of the theme or the text may not display at all.
2. You will be limited to the language specific characters available in the fonts used in DDT (Helvetica and Helvetice Neue Thin) so probably no Chinese or Russian translations?
3. Once you have translated I apologise if some of the grammar or syntax doesn't track perfectly but again the theme is written in English and although I have done my best to break the text up in such a way that when translated it makes sense there may be one or two elements that aren't perfect!
If you do translate the lang.txt into something other than German (or if you produce a better German one than mine!) please post it in the thread with the filename lang_*language*.txt (i.e. lang_french.txt) and I will compile a library of translation files in the second post.
Dave and I also reckon there should be a prize for the most amusing English adaptation of the text - do and English to English translation but substitute where relevant for amusing alternatives (ie Snow=Jeez, it's cold out here etc...)

Main screen layout options and navigation overview​
V2+
V2Mid
V2Lite
There are three options for the main screen in the theme - V2+ (shown on the left above with two hide/reveal panels to play with), V2Mid (shown in the centre with the 5-day forecast permanently displayed and a hide/reveal info panel) and V2Lite (shown on the right above withboth the info and forecast panels permanently displayed). In the V2+ and V2Mid layouts the info panel is opened with the info button on the left hand side of the screen, and in the V2+ layout the five day forecast panel is opened by clicking on the five suns at the very bottom of the screen. Once the forecast panel is open you can then click on each day to be taken to a full forecast summary for that day.
Most elements on the main screen are clickable as shown above, and in each subsequent screen you will find a shortcut navigation panel on the top right of the screen allowing you direct access to anywhere else in WP you might wish to go. In addition, wherever the moon appears in the theme you can click on it to be taken to the Lunar Schedule page. It would take me forever to explain the function of every element in the theme, but as they are all very intuitive and each screen is fully self-explanatory I'll just let you play around and discover it all for yourself! You can't break it by playing around too much so have fun! As a rough guide however the various screens are as follows:
Main screen - contains all relevant current weather data (with info panel open), 5 day overview (with forecast panel open, sunrise/sunset times, local time for location selected, current moon phase, current temp, etc
1 - Current conditions screen - gives a bit more detail along with a 24 hour combined temp/rain chart
2 - 10-day summary page - each day is clickable to access the main forecast page for that day
3 - Lunar Schedule - with current and next moon phase info
4 - Charts page - four hourly/daily charts showing forecast max/min temp, precipitation, windspeeed and humidiy
5 - Full forecast page - Day and evening forecasts for the selected day, plus moon info
6 - Radars page - where web weather images, traffic cam images, etc you specify in your radars.txt appear and can animate. The player buttons are hidden when you first open an image page - to open the controls simply touch and hold on the image for a second or so and the buttons will appear.
If you are in Europe then you can download the attached radar.txt file and overwrite the one in the Weatherpanel folder on your storage card as it contains several more Europe radar image URLs.
Hope this walkthrough helps anyone else out there as thick as me to get there a lot quicker than I did! Now I have four questions for the clever people out there to do with things that would make it better but which I have no chance of finding a solution to on my own:
Any questions/suggestions please feel free to ask.
Enjoy
One word of warning - WP can be pretty data intensive so beware! I have two cities and four weather images and the update size is around 1MB, so if I have it set on hourly updates I can easily hit 10MB+ each day. I only hook up on wifi at home and work so not a problem, but if you are using mobile data you may want to keep an eye on it.

FAQs
FAQs & Add-ons
City name cut off or overlapping left/right arrows - When you search for your city in the WP Add City screen it will appear in the Name box at the top of the screen as City, Country. In a lot of instances this will make the name too long to fit on screen in the space I have allowed. All you need to do is edit the City name in the Name box at the top of the screen to either remove or abbreviate the Country or State name and it should now fit. Also if you cannot find your tiny village in the search then just search the nearest large town, select it and edit the name in the top box to that of your village.
Can I use other WP icon sets - No. I have edited the Diamond VGA icon set, which has included adding in some missing ones and creating a full new set of resized moon icons. The theme also uses 5 different sizes of icons which other sets will not necessarily have.
Does it work with My Location - No. I am hoping someone far cleverer than me may pick this up and find a way of making it work but I'm afraid this is far beyond my meagre skills!
Animated icons? - Davej is currently working on an animated set of the main screen icons but at present the set is about 120Mb+ and slow to run so don't hold your breath - it may take some time!
Scrollbar showing on right hand side of screen - Either you are using a 6.5 ROM and have not followed the instructions for overwriting the 6.5 optimised files, or you have not followed the last instruction in Step 9 to Disable Command Bar in Second Today settings
Multiple city images overlapping when switching between cities - HERE - Thanks fmlarsen
Waiting for storage card error message - HERE - Thanks scandiskfr
Get rid of annoying beeps and alert noises - HERE - Thanks davej
To add additional weather images - Search online on your PC for current weather forecast for desired location. Once you've found a weather map/satellite image/radar image/etc that you want to use right click on it and select properties. Then copy the URL from the properties box. Open the radars.txt file from your WP folder using Notepad on your PC. You then need to add a name for the image, then hit enter and on the next line paste the URL (it'll make sense when you open the file!). Note - quite a few of the good looking weather images you'll find will be flash so you won't be able to incorporate them. Also try http://www.weathercharts.org/ and look HERE for more info Troed has posted on this
Sunrise/sunset times not showing correctly in 12hr format - MAKE SURE YOU HAVE SELECTED ONE OF THE 12hr LAYOUTS IN THE DROPDOWN LIST
LITE version - If you would prefer to have the two popout panels (info and 5-day forecast) permanently displayed on the main screen there are two layout options in the theme folders available for download in the first post. Open WP settings and select DDT_Ultimate_V1Lite in the layout menu.
For Lite users - if you would prefer not to have the semi-transparent background behind the info panel 996r has created a fully transparent version which you can download HERE - just overwrite to the DDT theme folder.
Changing the background on all screens - The custom background you select during the setup process for Second Today is the background that will appear on the main screen only. If you want to apply the same (or any other background image) to the rest of the WP screens (with the exception of the Lunar Schedule and Detailed Forecast screens which use specific custom backgrounds) then you need to make a background image exactly 480x788 in png format, name it bkg.png and overwrite the one in the DDT theme folder. Restart WP and there you go.
Android causing problems with Weatherpanel - Look HERE - many thanks to jaguaralani for this one You'll have to follow his instructions for both the V1+ and V1Lite wpl's if you have both in the theme folder
GPS Setting - On the Connection tab in WP Settings there is an option for setting the GPS Port and Baud Rate. This does absolutely nothing so don't bother with it. The original developer of the core WP software disappeared in 2005 and it has remained pretty much unedited since then. This was something that appears to have been being planned for a later revision but that never happened.
For US Users - In some parts of the US Weatherpanel will provide weather alerts for certain conditions. As I don't get these in the UK I hadn't thought to do anything about an alert POPUP so WP uses the one from the default theme folder which isn't very pretty! I'll have a go at putting one together but as I can't test it it will be good luck if it looks any good! In the meantime Troed has edited the default one to be a bit more readable. Download and unzip the Alert.zip from this post and copy the Alert.wpx into Storage Card>Program Files>Marsware>Weatherpanel>Themes>DDT Ultimate

I don't think so. The closest solution would be one similar to here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=563150 - where you'd need to use MTP or similar to add a new tab in manila then deselect Sense weather tab in display settings. You'd then need to find the right bit of the registry to edit for CHT to then send you to the new tab when touching on the home tab weather element?
I didn't want to do this as it seems like far too much hassle and the solution above is really easy to implement.
Thanks a ton. Great instruction. Only problem: The Name of my city in the main screen is cut on both sides (as if it was too long), but there is still a lot of space to the edges of the screen. Any suggestions?
super, but, can i have this app in one .cab please, i'm geek ;p
thank you
I have followed everything step by step multiple times but when I get to the step to choose the layout, I don't see the option on the drop down for Phat+265.wpl, any ideas on this? Thank you for your assistance in this matter.
Thanks for a great walk-through

Only problem: The Name of my city in the main screen is cut on both sides (as if it was too long) Any suggestions?

Thanks a ton. Great instruction. Only problem: The Name of my city in the main screen is cut on both sides (as if it was too long), but there is still a lot of space to the edges of the screen. Any suggestions?

I had this too, sorry forgot to mention it! Basically I found that when you go into WP settings to add or edit one of your cities you just remove the country name from after the city name in the very top box on the screen, then just hardware back key and it is saved - job done!

Yes it does as it is not integrated in Sense and therefore dependent on the SenseVersion or something (like the Sense-Tab-Integrated-Version you might have seen somewhere). This Proggi is fully based on SecondToday which should even run on WinMob2003

pretty cool.. good job.. hopefully a cab will be issued
1000 Tx for the prompt answer. This forum is a treasure ...........
