This is a current conditions panel. It is a work in progress. It is based off of what OrganicM has been working on. If you want to use this, it should be safe to say that you should be running the latest version of CHome Weather, or this will not work.
The zip below has some reg keys to import. Just drop them anywhere on your phone and execute, then reboot. Once done, drop the mscr into your NRG\CHome Weather directory and overwrite Organic's original. It is identical to the original except it has added codes that operate the new Current Conditions panel. Everytime the mscr updates manually, or automatically, it will update the current conditions panel. Oh yeah, almost forgot, there is an icons2 folder in the zip. Just drop the entire folder into the CHome Weather folder. Update your screen and this should show for your area. Let me know if there are any bugs.
This is a work in progress, so it will get better looking in time. I just was wanting to go ahead and post what I have so far, so I could get some feedback on likes, dislikes, edits, pros, cons, etc.
Hope you enjoy, and if you have any trouble just recopy the old mscr over this one and all should be well, so make sure you copy your old one, if you are afraid.........
LOL
EDIT: Here is the mscr file that updates all of your condensed icons for the forecast panel, my current conditions panel, and gives all the icons and conditions for all layouts. Make sure you have installed the reg keys.
ALSO: If you have calibri font installed, it will cutoff the text, just make sure you uninstall it if you care about text getting cut off
thats actually very cool...how does it update though? real time or no? and does it replace the forecast or the current weather panel of NRGs weather? or a third panel?
No, this does not replace of NRG's stuff. You have to have his CHome Weather installed. It is a 3rd Panel, you can turn it off or on with CHome Config or do it yourself via your registry. It updates in realtime as much as CHome weather does. It uses the Yahoo server to update it's info, so that is usually done at 53 minutes past the hour, I've noticed. So once an hour at 11:53,12:53;1:53, so on. You see.
It is a standalone, it works by itself, just update your weather from CHome Weather and it will update this panel. If everyone likes this, and some do not want to run Chome Weather, I can write an updater for just this panel, so that the forecast and CTestUIPanel aren't necessary. I just use their mscr and exe. I just added my own update features to it. I CAN write a standalone update, though.
Holla, let me know what you think!!!
Edit: Just found all the attribute names from weather.com, so now I can find dewpoint, feels like,etc. to my panels. Just look at the weather.com site for your town and whatever it has there, I should be able to find out.
I am missing the point

The new panels are quite nice, but I am missing the point here. I already have ORG's weather running on my device. What info will I get in these panels that I do not already have...
I do like the fact that everything is in one panel and uses the real estate better. I also like fewer slides (10 day is an overkill and often inaccurate) Perhaps 4-5 is the best.
For those who are looking to replace ORG's weather with this one will need the updater. Also I like the blue glass panels in ORG's...
Thanks to you guys for all the effort you put into it.
No Point, Really.
That's cool. I "appreciate" the remarks, or at least some of them.
I am not replacing the forecast. I use it. I work outside a lot and it's nice to know what kind of week I have ahead. I used to wake up and go turn on my tv and check out the weather, but now I've got the Weather Radar from Tech, which is way cool. I have Org's really pretty CTestUIPanel, my fave. I just didn't want to be limited to what kind of info for the current day that I am currently limited to with the CTest panel. It gives me my basic needs.
I have written scripts that can update the CTestUIPanel to say the same stuff that my Current Conditions panel says, but the problem is that I lose all of my regular panel until I update again. I have not found a way to make it cycle through all of my "pages" and on the last cycle, display the original chome weather screen (although I AM working on it).
Anyway, this is written solely to see what kind of interface or layout people like. You obviously like the CTestUIPanel layout over having a secondary panel to display the current info. I will keep that in mind for a future release. Hopefully, Organic likes this D) and can come up with something in HIS next release that surpasses this or at least matches this as an option. Just gotta figure out how to mimic a "page scrolling" concept to CTestUIPanel without having a "hot key" assigned using SmartToolkit......

I spoke too early
I guess I spoke too early. Now that I have installed "Currently," I can see what it does exactly. Somehow, it was not clear from the pictures, till I saw it on my own device...
I like it. I am replacing TestUI with Currently. So, now I will have just two panels. One with Currently, and another with Forecast. At least for the time...
However, this is what I would really like: Just one panel... The first couple of slides could be about current conditions, and the remaining 5 or so about the next 5 days. Ideally, the user should be able to set how many days in the future he/she wants to see...
If I knew enough programming, I would pitch in, or do it myself, but I am challenged that way...
Thanks to you and ORG. Keep up the good work.
No problem, I'm glad you like this. I will "look" into expanding my idea to incorporate the forecast into the current conditions as a pages in 1 panel. I like that idea.
I don't know about setting these as options, but I will definitely look into that.
Thanks for your input.
That can definitely be done and it's pretty easy. Click on the forecast panel to update the TestUI panel... each click would flip through pages, kind of a carousel effect, before finally returning to current conditions. The user can choose how many pages to display and after a certain time of "inactivity" it defaults to current conditions. OR even bettter, the first page of the forecast cycles through multiple current conditions panels and the second page cycles through forecast details.... ideas.. ideas..
thanks for direction solution
yeah, I tried this option, just never got this running to where it updated everything with just a click. It would be nice to see someone getting that going with just a click. Showaco and I did this on an older release of CHome Weather. He even wrote a script that let's you go in reverse order to in order to simulate flipping forward and backwards through "pages".
Your prog looks pretty good. Maybe you can take this one and the other ideas and incorporate them. This is so cool, everybody collaborating on this stuff. SWEET!
Just downloaded, I'm going to try it out today and see how it works. Good work.
I am having some trouble adding the registry keys to the phone. I have no issues with updating Currently, which executes no problem, but currently2 freezes when it comes to My Device. Its stopping at the screen stating "script file imported successfully press ok" but it will not accept pressing ok.
Good job on this outer, much respect for this.
Try this......
Sounds like a problem with whatever you are using to import your keys with. It should work just fine. Others are using it, and have had NO trouble thus far. Try opening up Resco Explorer or Total Commander if you have one of these, and execute it from there. Also, if you are running one of Ricky's ROMS, it has a built in reg editor that will allow you to update these. Hope this works, if not, just post again, and we'll try to get to the bottom of this. Sorry, if this isn't working for you, yet. We'll get going together, though. No worries. PEACE, mate.

This looks good, but no love for the blackjack. The home refresh kills me unless I get rid of my testui panel, I just can't let go of it yet. If I did, I would have to set it to manually update or write something to check to make sure I wasn't using an app at the update time. Because it sux when you're in the middle of typing and you end up on the homescreen.
Updated the mscr
I noticed that on my today high and low and tommorrow's high and low, it was displaying the same info, I fixed it. Below is the zip that has the updated mscr. Also, I know some people are liking the CTestUIPanel alot. So I made an mscr that uses the weather watcher data to give you updated info in the CTestUIPanel.
Caution: Each one of these needs an exe. All that means is unzip these and put them in your nrg chome weather folder. In your chome weather folder you'll notice how each of your original mscr files has its own corresponding exe. Check this, just copy a few of these exes into this same folder. Then rename them to your newer mscr file names. For example.
Rename one of your copied .exe's to:
weathernoupdate.mscr and it's corresponding exe is weathernoupdate.exe
See, that's it. Once you do, you can assign a hotkey and these work well. This way you can keep your current CTestUIPanel. I assigned a hot key to my current and currentreverse and it allows me to scoll left and right through my CTestUIPanel. Pretty cool, it's like having pages in the CTestUIPanel. I have to give Showaco all the credit for the idea. He showed me what's up and I incoporated it into one of my mscr's. Anyway, the original weather.mscr Organic uses is in here. My updated mscr, if you are using my Current Panels is in there, it is just titled weather.mscr.
Play with others, tell me what you think, remember smartoolkit assigns hot keys to programs. It can be fun if you have some free keys to assign to these puppies. Later.
Outerdepth
Where in the mscr that you round up the numbers for visbility and wind so you don't get the values in 2 decimel points.
Thanks
New Update
I have posted an update to the mscr and there are some screenshots in the zip as well. Make sure you have the regs. I have shown this to a few so far, and it is being well received from the "higher ups". Try it. I think you'll be glad you did.

So, I just tried this little gizmo out. I followed the directions you gave in the first post...
copied icon2 folder to chome weather folder
copied updated weather.mscr file to chome weather folder
copied currently.reg and currently2.red, applied currently.reg and then applied currently2.reg on the phone.
I then restarted and nothing happened, only thing that changed was the icons, but none of the other information is showing ,and there is no 3 pages to scroll in the current weather panel. What did I do wrong?
Thanks,
Adrian
I don't know, try to rename the reg keys to .ccs instead of .reg. Then go to your file explorer on your phone, then open these. This should make sure they are installed correctly. Sometimes I had problems with other peoples reg keys, it would say they were updated, but they didn't. Mikey and some others had this problem too.
Just try the rename reg key deal and reboot, then update the weather.exe. This should fix your problem.
PLEASE, let me know if this worked for you.
Here's a little mortscript package I put together so that the icon displayed in the battery page of settings panel will be active and change with battery percentage remaining.
Just install the cab and then goto program files\battery and run either battery.mscr or battery.exe. This is only one time to get it started, then it should run updates itself and restart itself after a reboot so you can forget about it. Note: if you get a message about the battery file isn't associated with an application, then run the mortscript.exe first and then the battery file.
I only included the rainbow battery images in the cab. The zip files are other battery images packs. To change image packs, download one of the zips and copy the images folder within it over your current program files\battery\images folder. If you want to save the rainbow images, rename the images folder before copying the new images folder over it.
Nice.. I ve always wanted to do this but I never had the time... I ve got some nice PNGs for you to use with about 10 increments
Question though.... do you have to open up some other application that takes the focus away from the homescreen in order to see the battery icon changes.... or not ?
No other app needed, just run the battery.exe one time and forget about it. It only updates and replaces the icon that is already located on the battery/settings panel. This way the icon changes with the percentage more or less shown on the panel. And since the name of the icon in the reg never changes after being set the first time on installation, as you rewrite the icon, no homescreen reload is needed. It just updates automatically. The icon battery packs I got from my ipod touch, which is set up as 17 images for about every 6 percent change.
I just wrote this today so if it doesn't work let me know or feel free to fix and post changes. If you have more icon packs, go ahead and post them. If they're not 17 images, then we would have to slightly modify the script.
nice work man, looking forward to see it!
Great job, Showaco. Will install it and let you know. Keep up the good work.

You didn't understand me at all. What I'm asking is... does the icon on the homescreen update in REALTIME or is a homescreen "refresh" needed. Let's say you're on the settings page with the battery icon... Let's also say your script replaces the icon with something else RIGHT NOW. Now.. does the icon change in front of your eyes, or will you need to go away from page, or open up another window that covers the homescreen and go back.. to see the new icon ?
I haven't actually sat and watched it when update was running. But I know a homescreen refresh is not needed. I think, and if anyone knows for sure then chime in, that when the icon changes, if you were actually on the battery page, that it would not update in front of your eyes. But if you were on a different panel and the update runs, then you moved to that panel, that the updated icon would be there. I don't think its necessary to go to an app and then back but I will try to check it out and get back to you.
The way my weather app works is, the icon only changes after another app's window gets on top of the homescreen (even if just for a brief second). I'll %100 sure the settings panel will exhibit the same behaviour. Not putting your application down or anything, this is all because I was just curious if you found a way to refresh a static icon in real time...
Do you intend to make a cab for it... etc ?
Ok, I checked out the icon updating by connecting to activesync and writing over the icon while I watched screen.
If you are on the battery page during updating of icon, it doesn't show. If you change pages or panels and back again, then the new icon is there.
If you are anywhere else on the homescreen when update occurs, then the new icon will be there when you look.
There is no need to leave homescreen and come back(like opening an app) and there is no need to reload homescreen for update.
So for clarification, if you're watching the battery icon waiting for the big icon changing show, it ain't gonna happen.
But if you are anywhere else but the battery page, the update happens without your knowledge and it will be there when you look at your battery page. And if you are on the battery page during update, the icon won't change in front of your eyes but it you look a page left or right, a panel up or down, and then look again, it would be updated.
Is that what you mean?
This is only meant as an enhancement to the current battery page, not a replacement.

Let's try it a day and see if its working. Then, if you get time, could you make a cab for it? I just threw this together today while I was bored at work, and finished writing it after work, so I really haven't tried it out to much. If you got any ideas just throw them in, because I would like to hear them.
Ok, now that I've used it for a day, I have a couple of things to improve upon but overall seems to work fine for me. Has anyone else had time to try it, did it work for you or not?
Dude, I love this
This is great
Nice work, man. I think this is exactly the kind of new addition we all need to out WM6.1. Thanks.
Nice script, but it is necessary to add command RunOnPowerOn("\My Documents\battery\battery.exe")
I was just looking for something like this the other day. I have a set of battery icons from the iphone that I wanted to use, how would i go about making the changes? Or would it be easier just to send them to you?
** oops **
i installed this on a Q9c and it seems to work with the exception of the icons being pinched. Looks like they were resized width-wise to fit in the same area alloted to the original icon area. Is there a way to fix this? Also, can we add an icon for when the battery is being charged?
Battery.exe does not run... it gives me a message saying that its not associated with any program. Also where do i find the runonstartup command?
ThePaleAle, Mortscript installed?

you need latest mortscript to run, version 4.11b7, and can find it here: http://sto-helit.de
For a run on startup, there's two ways to do it.
1: Add a link to battery.exe in windows\startup or,
2; add a line into battery.mscr: RunOnPowerOn("\file location\battery.exe)
awesome guys mortscript worked great
For Feather Weather 2, click HERE
Portrait Version Now Available!
The smallest weather app available has just gone on a diet, it started at 950kb and now comes in at a lightweight sub 850 kb. Its been slimmed down in size but not in weather data available. The new TotalClock cab has the full five day and current conditions within the clock panel itself. Check out the screenshots below, you only see one day at a time for a nice clean look. Hit the right soft key to advance thru the days and when you done, it has a timer to reset itself to current conditions after 60 seconds of non-flipping of the forecast pages.
For those who would rather have it seperate, the original version still uses a seperate forecast panel along with current conditions only in the clock panel. But even though it hasn't changed, I have managed to squeeze another 100 kb off of it.
On the original version clock panel you get info for current: temperature, icon, real feel temp, winds, humidity, visibility, barometer, uv level, cloud cover, precipitation, sunrise, sunset, air quality levels, and dewpoint. Also, on the clock panel you get tomorrow's forecast: conditions, hi/lo temperatures, real feel high temps, winds, and estimated precipitation.
On condensed clock panel, there is current temp, current condition icon, time, and todays Hi/Lo temperatures. So if you dock your clock, you will always have weather and time showing on homescreen.
And for a full forecast, there is a 5 day forecast panel that can be enabled or disabled. The forecast pages have info for: day, date, conditions, hi/lo temperatures, precipitation estimates, uv levels, and winds expected.
Both have a user set time interval for the updates depending on your needs, wants, or data plans. Just go to setup and specify the interval in minutes. The default is 30 minutes. The forecast data updates every 8th time weather update runs, that way you get updated forecast info every 4 hrs if you use the default for current condition updates.
To install: For now, install to main memory, I'm working on either or version.
Download the cab. After installation, it should prompt you to restart. If it doesn't, then restart your phone to set new clock panel in place. After reboot, wait about 10 seconds and the FeatherOptions will run automatically. Go to Setup and set all of your info, good idea to go ahead and set your right soft key on the clock panel at this time. After setup, exit options by selecting "Run Weather Update and Exit".
That's it, your done.
NOTE: I beleive I worked out my problem with mortscript registering itself, but if it doesn't auto start the options after 10 seconds, then go to FeatherWeather folder in Program Files and click on Mortscript.exe .
To uninstall: First download the ResetClockPanel.zip below. Unzip and then place the .mscr file on your phone. Run it with File Explorer, this will reset your clock panel. Now go to Settings/Remove Programs and uninstall the cab.
City Location Codes:
For anyone that needs to find their city code, use this link and change the location in this url to the name of your city and then go to it and it will give a list of all cities worldwide that have that name. Get your location from there and enter it exactly as it appears in the quotes, but do not use the quotes.
http://hadle.accu-weather.com/widget/hadle/city-find.asp?location=calcutta
So, for this link above, if you were looking for Calcutta, India. Go to this link, and you will see a line like this:
<location cnt="1" city="Calcutta" state="India(Bangla)" location="ASI|IN|IN036|CALCUTTA" />
So your location to enter in to options would be :
ASI|IN|IN036|CALCUTTA
This should work for cities worldwide.
Feather currently is installed with a slim panel layout only. If you want more dll or cpr options, they are easily installed with FileChanger. Those are more homescreen customizations than they are weather customization, thats why they aren't in here.
For landscape phones: If you don't want the slim panels, I have standard panels cpr and mini panels cpr that work specifically with FeatherWeather. They are in the Featherscprs.zip below. Just install with the FileChanger app or copy into windows folder. Click on the File Changer in my signature below for the File Changer thread and download.
New Portrait versions below, the last 2 cabs that names end with "P" are the portrait versions. Portrait versions updated 8/19/08 with new cpr. If you already installed, you can download the cpr zip only and install to windows directory.
Check out these new portrait layouts provided by Kron2:
Make sure you get the landscape or portrait version you need, first 2 are Landscape, last 2 are Portrait
NOTE: There was a slight change in the feed. So after installing one of these cabs, please go to Post #101 and download the forecast fix.

After setup, exit options by selecting "Run Weather Update and Exit".
That's it, your done.
To uninstall: Go to Settings, Remove Programs and uninstall the cab. It won't change your clock panel back, but it will remove everything else. To revert clock panel back, install an original cpr or cpr of your choice.
Feather currently uses a slim panel layout, but I will add more support if anyone wants standard or fat panels. If you want more dll or cpr options, they are easily installed with FileChanger. Those are more homescreen customizations than they are weather customization, thats why they aren't in here.

First post updated with two new cabs, here are the standard sized panels and the mini sized panels cprs that work with Feather below in the zip file. I also included the slim cpr for going back to.
Good weather application. Seems nice, but I will give it a shot later to see how it works...

The app only needs the cpr file adjusted for the clock panel layout to be ready to go. I have no way to test the layout, so it would be a total guess. If someone wants to make the cpr, or I could post a test version. A test version would probably have to be tweaked after installed to get the layout just right. You want to test? I can take a stab at the layout if you want to finish the final tweaking of positions.
Edit: If you want to pm me your email, I have a test cpr ready if you want to try it.
When I try and run Feather Options, I get and error: There is no application associated with "FeatherOptions"

Sometimes mortscript doesn't register correctly on my cab installs. Go to program files\featherweather and find the mortscript.exe. Click on it and it will say that the extentions are registered. Now try again.

download sktools lite, its free. With it you can remove the notifications which are causing the error. If you want to reinstall, let me know which version you are using and I will get your icon fixed. If its the total clock version, the reason you didn't get the icon is because of not mortscript not registering at the beginning. It writes the value for the iconpath when the reboot occurs, but it needs mortscript to do it. Its an easy fix. After install, if mort doesn't register again, then reregister mortscipt again. After that, while you are in the featherweather folder, click on install.mscr. This will setup your icon for the clock panel and start your setup when it finishes.
I just reinstalled and rebooted my phone, and when the plugin came up, all seemed good then the screen died! It couldn't come on.

No problem, I'm still trying to figure out why mort doesn't always register correctly because thats the culprit in most problems that have been reported.
Portrait version is now available for download in post #1. Huge Thanks go to Kron2 for the work on the cpr layout for these two new portrait cabs.
I have installed the portrait total clock version in my HTC VOX. It runs fine. But it is not updating weather for my town. I live in Calcutta, India. After a lot of googling for getting accuweather codes, I tried the following in settings but none seemed to work.
ASI/IN/IN036/CALCUTTA
"ASI/IN/IN036/CALCUTTA"
INO36
CALCUTTA
Can anybody help me as to how to insert the code for my hometown Calcutta as I have liked the application very much and does not feel to ditch the same. Although it is not a forum for VOX I had to write in this forum as there are no threads for Feather weather in VOX forum.
Moreover, would anybody please give the link to the slide homescreen in Portrait version as posted in post no. 1.
Thanks in advance.

You have the right code, sort of. instead of "/" , you need "|". I tried it and it works, so for you code enter:
ASI|IN|IN036|CALCUTTA
For the theme, thats Kron2's theme. You may be able to find it at allshadow.com or by contacting him.
For anyone that need to find their city code, use this link and change the location in this url to the name of your city and then go to it and it will give a list of all cities worldwide that have that name. Get your location from there and enter it exactly as it appears in the quotes, but do not use the quotes.

First of all i am very sorry to ask this stupid question as you have narrated the same example in your post 1. Actually I was too excited and overlooked that part. Anyway I am trying to find out the "|" character in my keyboard. Many thanks to you.
Hi guys !
Everything is in the title
The thing is that I don't really know what is the default server TF3D is usung to update the weather (I think it is from accuweather) but the data displayed are most of the time not really true and sometimes stupid!
for example, the max is at 4°C and the minimum is 1°C and the weather displayed is 6°C!!! How could that be!!
So that's why I would like to change the server...
thanks, Cheers!
I agree, I have the same problem
are we the onlt two to face the problems or is there someone else ?
Because it is really annoying
I have the same problem from greece ,
The server show conditions diferent from all other sites, and not reliable.
I was accustomed to spb weather which was very precise and gave forecasts for morning, day, evening and night and gave the opportunity to choose the server. The weather of TF3D is ridiculous!
(Sorry for my English)
yeh I agree!
But I really want to use the weather plugin of TF3D and not to launch an other app just to watch it
I want the same thing! We hope that someone plug in a few developments that could improve the weather of TF3D.
I would love to change the server, too.
But does TF3D use some kind of common format for its forecast data, so that the server can be changed at all?
Same problems for me,
me too....
Another one here.
Unfortunately, only people with complains, nobody with solutions.
Hi guys !
Still no idea about that ?
same problem, german weather is most time not true.
Maybe yahoo weather, it is much more better i use it sometimes on the iphone.
I also use the Forecastfox Firefox extension which uses AccuWeather data on my laptop. This data rarely matches the AccuWeather data on my HD.

yeh you're probably right but how to set it on TF3D ? That's the question....
Did anyone find a clue to do this?
I didnt find anything in the registry and filesystem only the Manila files and with a link to accuweather
another one here that wants better weather reporting!
Not quite the same here.
I don't like the accuracy of the weather plugin, too, but i wonder, if it would be possible, to CHANGE the whole application behind the tab?
I wanted to start SPB Weather instead of Manila 3D-Weather when i push the weather tab in touchflow.....
Anyone knows if THAT would be possible, instead of changing the weather server?
get Weather database editor , with that i got every single town in my small country , after u instal that, u need to use http://www.accuweather.com to find your place code and enter it, its easy, try.
i got this small addon on this site, and im very thankfull to guy who made it for us.
accuweather is crap :/ i found my town but the temperature is always wrong -.-
Hi,
I think some of these have been listed, but there are some changes to the weather tab that I think would really improve it...
I tried to see if anyone had a solution, but couldn't find anything, so consider this a wish list for anyone who knows how some of these things could be possible...
1. Auto Update
Auto update is good, but not for every time I go to the tab (especially since I don't use a data plan). Is there any way to change this so it updates on a schedule only, or automatically (without going to the tab) only if a data connection is detected - eg every morning at 7am...?
2. 5 Day View
A forecast is great, but if I can't update my weather for a day or two, I have to go to the 5 day forecast to get today's weather. Honestly, the 'today' weather should pick the correct day and display it - so if you updated the weather on tuesday, and it's now thursday, the tab should show thursday's forecast - it's been downloaded, it's in the database, so why not show it...?
Ok, so that's my wish list - I know there aren't any settings as such to change this, but is any of this possible with a bit of ROM development or anything...?
FYI - I'm on 1.96.710.3
Thanks...!
I am trying to develop a weather update tool, which will update the weather forecasts when the device is connected with activesync or on some other schedules.

My Different Solution !
I'm using "Second Today" and "Weather Panel" (and Spb Weather)
Accuweatherther site?
Hi,
I think lot of us are interested by a weather site other than accuweather. For example, i'm french, and i would like a site like meteofrance wich is more precise than a foreign site.
Do you think it's possible ?
Merci !
I'd love to see BBC UK's weather included!
accuweather
There are a lot of people who would be interested in another provider than Accuweather. This is not accurate at all. There are so many other ones which are better than accuwather. At least in asia and UK it is not accurate. so is there a way to change that.
