I'm using Miri's wm6.5 V12 premium ROM and in the manila calendar there's the weather situation integrated when one goes to the "today" or one of the following days.
Does anyone know where the location for the weather is taken from? My home location in the world clock? Or does it somehow notice if I have in a calendar appointment some other city mentioned?
(well, I could play with this myself now too, wanted just to ask if anyone would have a quick answer ready...)
Secondly... I prefer the manila over the fuggly wm6.5 start menu - haven't tried titanium - but from what I've seen, it would actually e very nice to have on the manila home page the flip clock minimised and then having the calendar weather integrated on the home page - for the locations what I have in the calendar entries....
Does anyone know such a theme that would have this configured?! Even starting always with the minimised clock would be a start.
I wouldn't start hassling around with the manila editor just by me for starters...
Any ideas? I tried to browse the themes people have published here, but none of them had this "weather on the manila home page" idea.

Well, the first question I can then answer immediately myself. Apparently the weather is taken from the location I have in the world clock as "local".
Now the challenge would be to integrate this on the home page.

Hi!
I am looking for an easy way to customize the today screen to my wishes (add app/folder links, change number of calendar entries displayed maybe add rss feeds and so on), the same with the start menu (add folders instead of programs, ignore the limit of entries that can be added etc.), and finally I would like to arrange the PROGRAMM, SETTINGS, and GAMES folders as I like it.
I know that there are several ROMs out there and I tried some, but there was nothing I found suitable for my needs and in most cases I encountered problems that have not taken care of. So I don't want a ROM, I don't want SPB or sthg. like that (it slows down the system considerable), I just want a tool that allows me to do the modification I described above.
Any suggestions or ideas besides "do it yourself"?
thanx and regards loc
Click on the "Panels" Button .... :-D
Actually I've found the Sony Ericsson Panel quite useful...
It has RSS feeds, various calendar and clock settings, shows you the weather information, shows your appointments and tasks, has some really good shortcuts for airplane mode, wifi, bluetooth and ring settings. Besides you can add shorcuts to the programs, contacts and files that you want.
For the today screen there are a lot of plug-ins, but honestly I haven't tried any since I alwas use the SE Panel. I'm sorry for not being of any help there.
You want to organize your progams list, right?
I think I can help you there.
Just go to the File explorer and search the "Windows" folder, in there go to "Start Menu" and then "Programs", there you'll have all the shortcuts that are in your program list, and you can arrange em as you wish (move them, add new folders, etc).
I'm just wondering what this panel is really for, can you add more icons into the empty tiles or something, some extras like mp3 player? I'm totally satisfied with it, i don't really care that the time is one hour forward, but is there something else to it than just looking cool? Also can somebody explain how the rss feeds work, what is the rss and in simpleman's terms explain what it is? I see that i can put a web address there but what is it for, say i type in nba.com, would it show me the scores or something? Thanks alot guys...
I find the panel really functional. I don't think it is customizable, but it is fairly well featured. Music player is a good addition if possible - I agree.
For RSS - you need to put the URL of the RSS feed you want to read. For example if you want to add Engadget news feed, put http://www.engadget.com/rss.xml
..and indeed the interface is very cool!!
i can get the feeds to update on the tilewave panel but when i click the feed link it gives me a "could not initialize opera" error???
OK guys, I am starting an new project. I will be creating an hub similar to the HTC Hub - however it can not be so similar that is a direct copy. Please let me know in here any requests you guys have. I will continue to update this thread as I progress. The end version will be a paid version, however I will lower the price during a set period of time so that those who contribute will be able to grab a copy for 99 cents and those who do a substantial amount of help will get it free - I will code a secondary system in an update if I can not do this on the marketplace the way I want to. I will clean this post up after a couple of days and skim through the thread for features requested and make a mock-up.
Note: In order to pass certification it will be required that the back button exits the app, I can over-ride this and allow an exit through a settings panel to disable /re-enable.
Awesome... count me in to try this bad boy out!
I will move this to SW development since this is an ongoing project, once this is close to an actual product, PM me and I will move it back. IE beta.

In this hub:
1. Allow to add our own weather widget or clock
2. Don't want fancy animation like the one in HTC, very annoying. Some minor animation or transition effect will do
3. Allow to category the apps with zune UI concept. Critical feature as I don't want to keep putting all my apps in homescreen tiles or the second screen list of apps which is getting too long now. Should have option to choose to display the apps as in tiles layout or list or icon.
4. Option to put wallpaper in Hub background, just like our picture hub.
great idea !hope you will do differently than in htc
!!
What is the purpose of the hub going to be? and how can the rest of us developers plug into it?
I'd like to see a weather animation, if windows' hub's being pinned to the homescreen. Furthermore it would be nice, if you could implement sth that enables us to change the tile's size again if pinned to the homescreen.
Another "innovation" would be from my point of view, if the windows hub on the homescreen would open "another" fully customizable homescreen, i.e. you have your regular homescreen and in case you feel it is overloaded you reproduce your applications within the windows hub attached to the regular homescreen that opens another homescreen, very much like the folder solution implemented with iOs 4. "screw me"?
Love to get my stocks on there also.
Thanks
Marty
its great idea bro,cant wait for this,it will change history of wp7!!!!!!
Thanks for the ideas so far, keep em coming.
I would like to be able to see sports scores as part of the hub.
I can't seem to find a decent app for WP7 that handles these.
not sure about the htc hub, but in the samsung equivalent, there is a section on latest news. i dont like this as there arent much im interested in but if you could have a built in rss reader in the hub, that'd be awesome.
I'd like to see a messaging widget like the one on htc's sense for android. I'm not sure if its implementable though.
Just retrieving the messages and displaying it on a sense-like interface will do.
Im just so bored of reading messages in the wp7's plain messaging environment
A hub replacement for HTCs...Hmmm...My vote..
1. Weather (stream lined, 5-10 day forecast with good but fast images)
2. News (RSS feed?, AP news/MSNBC/CNN, to be able to customize page, local/country/subject, etc)
3. Stocks
4. Sports Scores/Stats/standings, also to be able to see all scores but, follow a team/sport, I'd love to see tons of options here
5. Custom RSS section, so you can add a few web pages that offer RSS feeds.
Sounds like a great idea I'll be following this one...

Totally agree.
Also,
1. A comm manager? So it's easy to toggle radio/wifi/bluetooth on and off
2. A clock like HTC sense, with weather underneath (not the gay apps section which I don't use, if I want an app I use the market place or to launch an app I just slide right and down to the app I want to launch).
With all these ideas, They should be easy to navigate around, instead of creating hyperlinks, maybe make it so each page is a slide to the right, like the metro theme, this will look much easier and be much easier to use rather than using hyperlinks!
if you need something graphic,im in,just pm me
good project! if you want a people for translating in italian , contact me

One thing I would love... Make the "live tile" customizable by content.
For Example, during the day it could show weather based on GPS but, during a baseball game(or pick your sport), it will update with current scores on the second and a click of the tile during a game will bring you right to your sports page.
This could work the Same for a few stocks during trading hours but, one the market is closed, go back to a default of weather (an example)
Custom Content where you need it, when you need it.
I think when you click on the tile (AKA open the Hub) it should go into a Weather/Time/Wi-fi/blu-tooth settings/status... kind of a status page but, a flip will bring you to different content.
Just trying to come up with ideas for this. Hope this helps !

Yes me too.
Hi,
When wanting to add a widget to the home screen, one has to scroll left>right through all available widgets - which would be fine if you knew where to stop, for example if they were sorted alphabetically. But for som unexplainable reason, they are just thrown in there..! They're not by name, not by date added, not by any system. On my phone, the first option is "Calendar", followed by "Transparent weather" and then "Gmail".
So, is there a way to sort them?
