Inside the Shell Metrics

I asked myself what SHMetric stands for?
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Metric]
"SHMetric"=hex:5F,00,00,00,05,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,02,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,64,00,00,00
"DefSHMetric"=hex:5F,00,00,00,05,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,02,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,64,00,00,00
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
After randomly changing and a lota soft reboots I found that
SHMetric"=hex:5F,00,00,00,05,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,12,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,64,00,00,00
5F (dec 95) looks like the X value for the Office background gradient change
(like in Tasks)
the 12 changes the background line height (take font height) to get a nice effect.
Perhaps the colors used in the Calendar are also hidden in here.
Perhaps you can experiment with me and post your results here.
Cheers

****if there are any other reg tips hacks tweaks anything post in here****
***if you have any tips or tricks not in reg edits but just normal tips please post here***
i have tested all my reg edits and they do you work!!!!! like a charm

Thanks bereda , Very Good One. I Saw the difference in performance

no problem if you no anymore just list them my favorite one is the annoying sound one for spb it clicks really loud when you strike a key and i mean its loud!! it made my head pound like a drum haha and the performance one if you pair it with the graphics speed up it makes a big difference

ROM
Hi,
Does it matter if I have changed from the original ROM ?

@bereda
What´s the source this tweaks come from?
Tip: Backup the registry before changing it!

i was googleing and found the site i think its ppc tweaks but the stated that these will only work in wm5 but i gave them a shot on my elfin and it worked even with the custom rom but i guess you can do them on a stock rom you just need a registry editor

Easier way..
Easier way for who do not know / want to touch the register in the first person..
the cabs only made the first two reg hacks..
(i do not made the third reg hock because I not have the spb, so I could not test it..
Thanks a lot bereda!

Or use Schap's Advance Config -> tab Performance to change the values comfortably

My Mobile isn't able to install that program, really dont know why :s
Maybe you have another one?

NP - i found another program.
It loads the registry from the mobile, but it

Mail tweaks
Hello.
Were can I change mail box registry. Because after change of several Rom's I can not name E-mail box as I want says name already exists.

(Tweak) Real fullscreen browsing on HD2!!

Hi guys!
Frustrated with the Opera browser on the HD2, I decided to take matters into my own hands
What really bugged me was the inability to see the whole page when browsing the web, and by that I mean go fullscreen… This is possible on the iPhone, Nexus one, Hero, Pre etc. but not on the HD2!
The reason behind all this: Virtual Screen Width….
The resolution on, lets say the iPhone, is poor 480x320… Most webpages are AT LEAST coded in 1024x768…
The reason why the iPhone, with its inferior resolution, is able to go fullscreen on most webpages, is because Safari lets the iPhone use Virtual Screen Width… "Virtual" is the keyword here …
On the HD2 we are blessed with the wonderful native resolution at 800x400 pixels .. This is all great, but there is one problem: Its not 1024, 1156 or 1280… Its 800x400… = 800 in width = crippled page view!
The problem is that Opera, on default, isn't configured with any sort of "virtual" screen width… It is 800 pixels all the way…
But!
We can activate the Virtual Screen Width, and thereby go fullscreen on any webpage= No more crippled web browsing!
Go to:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Opera\Prefs\Adaptative Zoom]
Change "Virtual Screen Width" from "800" (The native screen width) to "1024", "1152", "1280", "1366" or whatever suits your browsing needs
My configuration is like this (Gives a good overview, without destroying visibility):
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Opera\Prefs\Adaptative Zoom]
Virtual Screen Width: 1024
Hope you guys enjoy
Update: Some people are experiencing some problems with "double tab to zoom"... This most likely has to do with another tweak in relation to "Default Zoom" in [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Opera\Prefs\Adaptative Zoom] .... If you have changed this value, please change it back to value "175"... My browsing experience is perfect... Fullscreen, double tab, smooth etc. To me the HD2 is now a real internet device
Update 2: Here are some other tweaks, provided by astrodemoniac in another thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=626157
I post it here to create a better overview of whats possible "tweaking" wise on the Opera Browser:
Increase Scrolling FPS:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Opera\Info]
PanFps=50
Increase Zooming FPS:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Opera\Info]
ZoomFps=50
Lower Default Zoom:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Opera\Prefs\Adaptative Zoom]
Default Zoom=100 (I would advise to just keep it on 175, as it works perfectly with my fullscreen tweak.. Some people lose "double tab to zoom" when editing this value.. Keep it on 175!!
+ these tweaks (mainly from tboy2000):
Increase the font cache for displaying text quicker:
HKLM\Software\Opera\Info\
fontcachesize = 64
(default was 32)
Source: this thread (item #76)
Complete page loading = Avoid the unfamous "checkerboard background"

I'm not sure I got this right...
- Does your tweak work on landscape or portrait? Because this thread here already talks about full screen in, I believe, portrait views. Will you tweak have influence on both portrait and landsape?
- Could you make a screen capture, so we can understand? (BTW, BsB tweak use very simple ways to make screen captures)

It works in both portrait and landscape.. The tweak you refer to adjusts the zoom levels... Not the visual width....
You can see "my" tweak as the key to full screen browsing like on your laptop or whatever... It makes your screen "believe" its actually, lets say 1024 in width, instead of 800... An amazing difference.. Try it out and you will never go back

Nice find!! The full page view is indeed awesome!
But i noticed that double tap zooming doesn't work anymore. But who cares! The fullpage view matters more.
Thanks!

thanks
but it lose the double tap zoom function

Niiiice!!!
I dont lose double tap zooming..!!
(maybe cause i applied all the tweaks for smoothness etc plus this one in the latest opera from 1.67 rom..found here i think!)

Maybe is due to opera build. Mine is 9.7 build 35627. I think I probably should upgrade to the newer build.
Edit :
The double tap zooming is gone when this tweak is used with this,
Lower Default Zoom (Really takes advantage of the HD2 beautiful screen)
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Opera\Prefs\Adaptative Zoom]
Default Zoom=100
Simply change the default zoom back to 130 and double tap zooming will work again.

I also loose double tap to zoom, but only in portrait mode. In landscape it is ok. I set the screen width to 1024. Also my registry key is called 'Virtual Screen Width' not 'Visual Screen Width'
My opera build is 9.7 build 35577. I am on ROM 1.48.405.2 WWE
BTW my original value for the Default Zoom is 175 not 130. I have tried using 130 but it doesn't work. The only way it seems to get the double tap to work in portrait mode is to change the screen width back to 800.
Pinch zooms works ok though.

Are we actually talking about the "VIRTUAL SCREEN WIDTH"
Changed the setting to 1024, looks good. Thanks for the tip

+1 double tap zoom is gone

A real beauty, this tweak. Thanks for sharing.
I would like to nominate this tweak, together with the default zoom-level tweak, for a Grammy Award in the category `best Opera tweaks´
EDIT: added a little cab that changes the "Virtual Screen Width" to 1024. The benefit of using a cab is that when u unistall the cab, the default value is restored. (@ OP: feel free to attach this cab to your own post. The author rights are all yours )

i would actually advise people that those who want to still be able to use double tap zoom to not use this cab.
By default, 1024 disables double tap.
I recommend 1023, or better, 1000.
I figured this trick not too long ago.
See my post. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5510142&postcount=3

Not fully related, but is there a way to disable the soft buttons always appearing during page loading? I find it highly annoying that it always brings the buttons and address bar up, rescaling the page at the same time, and making it a pain to scroll during loading... I only need those if I press the bottom right "menu" button, not all the time automatically...

I have no problems with the double-tap zoom feature. I'm on opera 9.7 35758. What version are you running? (sounds like a weird bug to me)

Changed it to 1280... look awesome, still have my double-tap. Haven't updated my Opera build yet.

Great, it really works fine and should have been the default parameters for Opera!!! I really can't understand why a community like ours is able to change some simple numbers and get the best out of our HD2 ! Anyway, here are the tweaks I use for Opera from now on:
Fullscreen view on portrait and landscape (actually "Full Width")
This enable a webpage to be fully seen when you first load the page.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Opera\Prefs\Adaptative Zoom
Visual Screen Width = 1000
(default was 800 ??)
(real full screen = 1024, but with this, double-tap zoom does not work anymore)

My Opera build is also the latest, from the leaked ROM 1.67 found here. With this new build, though, even more tweaks are needed... because I'm using the official HTC ROM 1.66

(I use a french ROM and the latest official ROM 1.66 translates the word "storage card" to french, making Opera not able to know where the microSD card. This tweak solves it)
And finally, I also use BsB tweak 1.6 to enable more tabs for Opera and to enable link click even when zoomed out...
Damn... I think we really need some BIG CAB to easily change this all... I just don't know how to make it. Help

I changed my pinch zoom framerate to 50 the other day, and yes, it's much better... but is there a way to increase the rate of zooming. I don;t like having to pinch several times when on my 3GS I only have to do it once. I know I can just double-tap, but still...

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

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

Change Navigation bar colors without root or extra apps/themes

As you all know June update limits choices for the color of navigation bar. But underlying settings can be still set to arbitrary values using adb shell.
- No root access needed
- No extra applications needed
- No changing themes needed
- Change is persistent after reboot.
Relevant settings are under global/navigationbar_current_color and global/navigationbar_color.
For example by running this you'll get a dark shade:
Code:
adb shell settings put global navigationbar_color -317057255
adb shell settings put global navigationbar_current_color -317057255
adb shell settings put global navigationbar_use_theme_default 0
You can change the number value to get different colors. Default is "-986896"
Pay attention to minus sign if result of calculation is negative, it is significant.
Color picker
To pick colors easily and calculate their values automatically you can use the color picker
Example colors
• Opaque black: -16777216
• Transparent black: 65793 (this is not true black - rgb (0,0,0), but almost black - rgb (1,1,1)-)
• Transparent gray: 8421504
You can use the color picker linked above to calculate values for arbitrary colors of your choice.
Caveats
• Don't use transparent colors if you don't want navigation bar color to change with different apps (ex. keyboard)
• Some applications may set custom colors for navigation bar. This setting only changes default color of the bar, it doesn't override application specific colors.
• Fully transparent navigation bar is not possible except few builtin applications (eg. Gallery or app switcher). You can specify transparency but it just specifies how the nav. bar. color will render on top of the applications color, it doesn't mean the application will render under the navigation bar
• For some reason fully transparent true black shows up as opaque white in most applications. Workaround is using almost black colors instead of true black.
Details for manually calculating values:
Value format is ARGB hex color code converted to signed decimal. (Thanks Acoustichayes for pointing it out.)
1. Pick a color and find out its RGB hex code using a color picker (such as http://htmlcolorcodes.com/). For example you should get.
2. If you want transparency you must prepend transparency value to the color value. 00 is fully transparent, ff is fully opaque, inbetween are varying degrees of transparency.
3. Convert this value to decimal
4. If the resulting value is larger than 2147483647, subtract 4294967296 from it.
Example:
1. Hex value of desired color is #4826bf
2. We want 10% transparency, thus using e6 as the hex value for transparency. Prepend to color value and the number becomes e64826bf
3. Convert to decimal: 3863488191
4. 3863488191 is greater than 2147483647 (max signed int), thus our value wraps and become
Code:
3863488191 - 4294967296 = -431479105
5. Run
Code:
adb shell settings put global navigationbar_color -431479105
adb shell settings put global navigationbar_current_color -431479105

If you figure out the meaning of values please share with us

Hello, newbie here and I am not happy with the new update. If its okay, can you put a step by step on how to do this? I've never tried doing this kimd of things but I would if there's an instruction. Thanks!!

Are they not her values for color?
Generally, 6 digits is base color, eg: ffffff is white. Where each double digit is a representation of r, g, b.
And 8 digits adds alpha value(transparency) so the first 2 digits are the transparency and the last 6 are the color. You can Google hex color codes to look up exactly what you want

Any option like this to change the height of navbar?

You have to install "adb" in your computer and connect the phone to pc with usb cable. You can search for adb guides on Google for detailed steps. It is a general android topic and not S8 specific so you can find plenty of guides.

Wow thanks this must be it. I'll check it out.

Confirmed hex codes. I needed root to run in shell. Maybe not required for USB though.

Transparency is possible by adding transparency value to beginning of hex number. It somewhat tricky to calculate because integers overflows and wraps around to negative values.
Formula is:
1. Add transparency value to beginning
2. Convert to decimal
3. Substract 4294967296 if it is greater than 2147483647
For example if you want color "34 bd 3c" and make it fully transparent you must prepend "ff" and the number becomes "ff 34 bd 3c". Convert it to decimal: 4281646396. Substract: 4281646396-4294967296=−13320900. So −13320900 is the value you want.

You can just use the hex code without converting to decimal. I just made it white with ffffffff and black with ff000000.
