WeatherBox, New WeatherPanel theme

10-16-05, 08:48 PM

Due to massive vandalism on the Marsware WIKI I have removed my layouts from there. They have been moved to an alternate WIKI site here: http://pixel.citadel.org/weatherpane...herBox_Layouts

Looking very good Ken, Very nice work on this one. I will let you know after using it for a few days. :approve:

Thanks Frenchy :) , it might undergo a few changes so feel free to give any feedback on things you would like changed (Not promising, but willing to consider any changes)

Ken - Congratulations! This is really wonderful! I've installed using Juni's SWDeluxe and it looks great. Now I'm going to play a bit - I'd like to put something on the Today screen (not sure what yet) and have this pop up over PocketBreeze. Thanks a lot for all your work on this. It's truely amazing.

Thanks Ya, glad you like it. I may release a popup version in a few days since I originally wrote the theme with full size child windows for each individual page which I can use for popups instead of child windows. The problem with my original version was that it turns out you never want to create a theme which switches from child window to child window without ever returning to the original wpl file. Each time you open one it would eat up close to a meg of RAM, quickly dragging my PPCs to their knees. I need to experiment with them a bit and see if I can use popups with a transparent background, I may have to create a solid background for the popups.

Oops, found a problem with the moon phase on the main screen, I think it is displaying the phase for the last day of the week shown instead of the current phase, will update in a couple of days with this fixed.

I have made some revisions and added a popup, you can download the revised files here:

The popup is only 38 pixels high on a QVGA device, but the popup is fullscreen giving you the same weatherbox look as the full screen files without using much today screen space. Hope you enjoy the files.

Introducing the ultimate WeatherPanel Theme, WeatherBox Redux. Includes two layouts designed to be used with PocketBreeze version 5.0 side painted tabs.

Ken - I installed this in my WeatherPanel Theme folder, but when I go to settings > display, the only themes available are default and redux QVGA, but it still does not show. I have PB 5.0 and custom tabs but no redux showing up. Thanks.

Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner, been out in the field all day.

I think I know what your problem may be. When you extracted the zip file you should have gotten a file called WeatherBox Redux. If you open this file there should be one sub-folder called 'days' and 78 otherfiles.

I think maybe your zip program created a folder called ReduxQVGA which had the WeatherBox Redux file in it. Make sure this folder (WeatherBox Redux) is directly in your themes folder. Then select WeatherBox Redux as your theme in weatherPanel settings and select on of the themes called WBox*.wpl and it should work.

Let me know if you have any other problems with it.

Just wanted to let you all know that I have created an add-on for WeatherBox Redux which allows you to tap any of the available graphs to view them double size. The add on files are available on the WIKI here with directions on how to install and use it:

Added a Radar window index page update, you can get it here:

Hope you like it, I am working on a few things I don't think have ever been done with WeatherPanel, so I may not post any more updates to this theme for a couple of weeks. And of course if I fail miserably in my next attempt you will never see it. One way or another I will post an update eventually which has all of the add-ons incorporated within it and an extended 10 day forecast. I am just concentrating on my new idea at the moment.

Awesome stuff, Ken. Where can I get the icon set(s) that you use in the Weatherbox Redux screenshots?
