Hello...just downloaded this version of CHome Weather and it looks amazing...great job. There's only one problem, probably related to the 240x320 cpr file because, like I already read in the excalibur forum, there's an issue in 240x320 where the background looks a little odd and doesn't fit the area like it supposed to. But again amazing job...keep it up
EDIT: I've just used a version of the 240 x 320 cpr file already used in another version of your plugin and it works great now

I was just now testing the other layouts and there are some issues:
- I realized that everytime i change the layout, it doesn't matter the cpr 240x320 file i did put there because when the layout is changed the cpr file is kind of replaced by the one corresponding to the sellected layout.
- In the HTC and Iphone layout, it shows always an icon with a cross below the icon of the current weather, instead of showing the icon corresponding to the weather.
- In regular layout, the gold and silver backgrounds don't work well in 320 x 240.
- In the regular layout, in the 1 and 3 layouts, I can't see the hi and low temperature.

Yeah, you'll have problems with the portrait layouts.

Is it possible to fix the problem with portrait?? That is the last thing, that keeps me from donating.

I am so happy with this program. I worked as Organic M's test subject to get this working. I can't say I notice the problem you guys are talking about in regards to portrait mode.
This is what I see:

have the author, removed the files from the location... I am unable to get those...
Can someone help plzzzzzzz!!!!!!!
Thanks

There are 2 links in the main post at the top of this thread.
The first one is the weather program
The second one is all the files that need to be installed to /windows on your device

Davis,
From your post, it looks like that screen is in ladscape mode. Portrait is taller than wider, yours looks wider than it is taller.

Thanks a lot.. I found the same at the post. I was just eager to get Weather update on my VOX...So got carried away...
Thanks

Well if you put it that way, you'll definitely NOT get me to fix the portrait layouts. How about.. "here's a small donation and small request... I would really appreciate it if you could work on the portrait layouts(which is a major PITA) so this works properly on my phone".

Well then I Only wanted to know if it is possible to do it. But I can live without it. I can look outside to see the weather. You know I made a lot of stuff for the Vox...but I never received ANY donation!!!

works beatifull. got no issues with any layout (i'm using plain black background). excellent job!
the only question i have is if it is possible to manually edit order of appearance on home screen somehow as i could do it in standard homescreens in _home.xml file?

This is definitely NOT what I wanted to happen here. I worked with Organic M to get this app to work with our phone models and he was nice enough to help us out.
This is far from the thanks that he deserves, since the app is designed for an entirely different model.
Why so serious? can't we all just... get along?

I think the Chome Configurator will allow you to change the order of Slides on your Home Screen.

I have no idea what you are talking about....
???

As I said I only wanted to know if it is posible nothing more. And I just wanted to clarify that people here are not thankful! I really do apreciate his work. And the work of all the other coders and cookers! I hope you understand my point!

Does this plugin use necessarily the whole width of the screen, or is it possible to customize its size or layout (present conditions, 2-days forecasts, 5-days forecasts...)?
At present I'm using Fizz Weather with Orange plugin on my Wings, in order to show an analoug clock and weather forecasts next to it (see here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=89987&d=1212446950); will it be possible to make the same thing with Chome Weather?

So... is anyone still interested in making this work better with the Vox ? Maybe ask some of your ROM cookers to look at the policies in the registry and ask them remove the restricts that don't allow cab files to copy files to the \windows directory ? Then I wouldn't have to make two separate .cab files when I released a new version That, and if anybody wants to help test the portrait layouts, we can make this happen.

Yes it would be great to see the weather plugin fully working on the Vox...that thing about the restrictions I never understood that because after checking myself the registry many times, I saw that the restrictions were disabled and the thing about installing files in the windows folder still remains a problem...

[REQ] CoPilot Live 8 THEME

Hello boys'n'girls
I just watched a YouTube video of a CoPilot/HD2 review, and it looks like the guy have a "black theme" installed for his CoPilot.
I bought CoPilot for my TOPAZ some time ago, and of course I moved it to my new LEO. For all the time I have used CoPilot, I have been searching the web like an insane little monkey for some themes for CoPilot since the red/blue theme is killing me...
(not litterally killing me, just trying to make a point)
I haven't been able to find any themes anywhere.
When I saw the vid on YouTube, I e-mailed the guy that made it via his website and asked him where he got it. He hasn't replied yet...
My question/request is if anyone of you either know of a place where to get some themes, or if one of you wonderfully creative people could perhaps start making some?
Thanks in advance
PS: Here is the vid from YouTube:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h3sI0iu1OQk

Hi,it's maybe a special version modified for a provider . Theme are not available for the moment for V8 version ( look at copilot central ) .

Yes I know it's not available from the CoPilot Central...
Nothing really is
But since they are so slow to make some themes themselves, perhaps someone else could?
I guess, that if you know what you're doing, it shouldn't be too hard...!?
This guy also have it with a black theme (and he's got really small hands too)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xHB_8_4cBw4&NR=1

Seriously...
I know that italian men are tiny, but comon...
The HD2 looks like a netbook in his hands
Edit: HD2 in Italian/Danish hand for comparison...

copilot skin
hi,
I have the same problem, I hate the red/blue theme of copilot and i want a black theme like in the videos above.
The only thing I've find is that the UI pictures are stored in \Copilot\Skin\skin.dat
if you open this file with an hexadecimal editor you'll see that it is composed of many png files (more than 1000 pictures !!)
I'm able to extract one png but I'm not able to replace the picture, if I try copilot doesn't start anymore.
so if someone have a solution...

My friend is here with his HD2...
He has the CoPilot trial installed, and his is black like the one in the vids.
His version number is 8.0.0.457
Mine is 8.0.0.346
Perhaps this is the issue...!?

I'll try and copy his skin.dat file over to my device and see if that works...
If it does, I will post it here for download

Here are the Skin !
I have 8.0.0.457 with the black skin.
I can mail them because is not possible to upload them at the moment.
BR Tom

It works fantastic!
I just copied his entire skin folder over to my device, and et voila!
Looks bloody amazing
Here is the skin folder for download, enjoy!
http://cid-b7957bd22a08b64c.skydrive.live.com/browse.aspx/Offentlig?uc=1&isFromRichUpload=1
Just UnRar and copy over the excisting skin folder on your device

A couple of the buttons are white on my device, that are black on his...
But overall, it looks sooo much better than the blue/red theme

I thought all the CoPilots that come pre-installed on the HD2 have the black skin? Mine does.

Propably.
I installed the downloaded and paid for version I had on my SD card...
- which has a blue/red theme.
Perhaps I should do a hard-reset and register the pre-loaded version, it seemed like there were a few differences between the two versions from just looking at the two side-by-side...!?

maybe it's because it lacks severals UI pictures.
The skin.dat file you post is about 4 Mo
and for example my skin.dat (copilot 8.0.0.346) is 6Mo
but for the white background of the popup menu I have a solution, see my next post

solution for white background
To have a black interface for copilot 8.0.0.346 (without the bug of white popup background) copy the attached file in your copilot\skin\ folder:

Just uploaded on to my X1i with Copilot Live 8.0 on it..
NICE! Well done chaps.. Looks so much better!
Just need some other things to become available from ALK, like some voices and other things... I think they're a bit lame having all the features on Central 2.0 and then not actually following up the development!! Come on ALK pull your finger out!

So true!
If they really want to conquer the market, they should start making some of the "premium services" and the normal extras available soon...

Id like to see more of these good and important reflections about users
and their handsets. Nice going!
Im curently useing my HTC Desire and trying to get this black
theme to work with the android version.
I got a message saying "Extracting theme" but I cant choose it in the
theme menu.
Any suggestions?

fyi, tried to make this work with latest version of copilot 8.0.0.644 and it just breaks the app. wish they just put out an official theme for this. any chance you guys could help me make this work on this version?

Yeah, I tried it and it didn't even show up in my themes area to install. We need a skin for the latest version for sure.

Can someone make this theme for us? WoW

I wanted to ask all of you who can make themes etc. Can someone make QVGA version looking like this one here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=634843
It looks so stylish and simple, anyone?

If you would have read the opening post, you would've seen that this isn't a theme, but a whole operating shell.
And the biggest thing: it hasn't even been started developing (those "screenshots" are just made up with photoshop).
If you want this "theme", just wait untill WP7 arrives and buy a phone with WP7...

Decompose each .cab file that you used and make a new .cab!
Make sure that everything will installed in the right place! usually it's windows!

Is there a manual available for that? I am only an user . I have no clue how to do such things.
Thank you
Saphenus

Search for cab editor, download the cabs you want to have on your phone, extract them to a folder on your pc and then put them into one cab file and install on your phone. I made myself my own cab, with at the moment 82 tweaks and mods in it that I could install in one step. You can see cab files almost as zip files, you can extract and files as you wish. Just do a search and you will find all the info needed.

I talk to dinik reasonably often, Im not sure if he would want this to be done, but I will ask him for you and if he says yes, maybe I will try and chuck something up tonight for you guys, if he was cool with it. Its not too hard a thing to do
EDIT: He's already working on it lol, it will be realeased soon

I suggest search for Theme Switcher in the front page article
a great app, very handy. It backup the changes u made to mania files. Install every dinik works at once then save, next time just restore

Thank you all for these tipps! It helps!!!

Great. Thank you for your support.

[Request] Simple Digital Clock (using "Segoe UI"fonts)

i've searched everywhere for some nice digital clocks, but everyone creates clocks with some really wierd fonts, or colors that isnt really my taste. So, i made a "concept art" of how a digital clock id like to use look like. (see attachments)
The clock has to be adjustable via CHT (i mean being able to move it around like the normal manila digital clock), so that i can use it in all screens, (Home , all levels, and lockscreen).
Anyone knows if anything like this exists?
if not, anyone willing to make it?
i used the font known as "Segoe UI" (light). Also, if possible, id like some extra versions of it, like the fonts being black instead of white, and an other one with having that black transparent panel behind the clock, using white for the fonts.
PS1:i know that the clock im thinking about looks horrible with the current looks of my phone, but i cant be arsed to change anything until i find a proper clock
PS2: i also know that theres a cab that removes the white panels behind the manila numbers of the clock. The thing is that, without it, the numbers got a little gap between them, looking ugly imo

I basically achieve this by mixing two cabs I've found here in xda
one is called
[Star] Segoe UI light clock charecters White.cab
and the other one is
Transparent Clock flippers.cab
you can find them here on xda posted by their respective authors.
edit: oh I forgot! you can use
transparent clock background.cab to get the effect you want

awesome! thanks a lot for ur reply!

Yeah use my cabs, but you will still get the lines its inevitable when you remove the clock flippers man

ah shame. i thought that ppl let those gaps there, so that the "flip" of the numbers looked better
excellent work with those cabs btw, they were exactly what i needed

I would love a clock like this also. Shame nobody wants to make it without the lines (from the flippers).
Having the lines kills the elegancy of it.

Hi everyone,
I get a solution to fix the problem with the flip lines but you have to be very carefully 'coz it's a bit risky...don't be panic, it works for me perfectly without problem and it would work for you guys too, just follow the instruction
1. Make a backup of the 7c60907d_manila go to your /windows directory and find that file, copy and paste it in your SD card.
2. Download the attached rar. file to your PC, extract the file and save the folder "NoFlipLIne" in your SD card
3. Using Total Commander or File Resco, go to your SD card and open the folder "NoFlipLine" and copy the manila file and paste it into your /Windows directory and accept overwrite (don't worry, you have a backup in case something go wrong)
4. Now reset Sence or restart your phone (as you prefer) and see if you like the magic
Also this manila file has a fix to get installed up to 20 CHT widgets too.
In case of any problem, just find your backed up original file and reinstall it back.
Remember, that works perfectly in my device, but I will not be responsible if it does not work well on yours or cause any other problems, so use it at your own risk
Enjoy it and please let me know if it works well for you.
Your feedback or just a Thanks button clicked is always appreciated.

Thank you for the reply, and your effort.
Unfortunately this did not work. I did exactly as you said, when I restart the phone, I get the original clock, with flippers, but no text where the time is. Basically the time (text) is blank and I just have the original flippers which flipe with nothing inside them.
I don't have screen capture software so I hope you know what I mean. I fyou want a screen print, please link a screen capture app.
I copied the original (backup file) to Windows and all is ok now.
My phone details are as follows:
ROM: 314 WWE (3.14.831.3
Manila: 2.5.20161330.0
WM6.5
Thanks again for trying. Any other suggestions?

ok, this s a little embaressing, I feel like an idiot.
There was no clock text as everything was white. When I mucked around and applied the 'transparent flippers' boom, the clock is just like the pic. PERFECT.
Thanks heaps. I have 'thanked' your post. Good job.

Hi again my friend,
I forgot to give you a hand with this one too, so here I'm again
For screen capture I use a great app that is very easy to use and works perfectly and with good quality, it is "Shake and Save" which you can find it in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=488990
Best regards.

Wow, brilliant app. Thank you x2. For the app, and the clock.
