[Updated 12-Apr-08]Weather Panel Moon Fix and Chameleon 240 QVGA

Hi all,
After flashing a new rom, I got tired of setting up my customized Weather Panel setup (includes a fixed dll so moon phases are accurate through 2008 and the Chameleon-240 QVGA theme), so decided to save off the directory and make my life easier. Thought I'd provide this for those of you that use Weather Panel (The "trial" version never expires, so this is a "free" app). I used to use PocketWeather, but after seeing the Chameleon 240 QVGA skin and the other features of Weather Panel I've switched to it and really like it.
[Edit - 12-Apr-08]Updating this today for anyone that may still find this thread. The WeatherPanel cab you want to install is found here: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showpost.php?p=75926&postcount=2 . This has moon info updated and corrects another connection issue that started a couple of months back. Also as a note, I'm on AT&T and have had issues on WM6.1 roms where the network connection setup script runs. I now do not allow that to setup my connections but instead install the attached connection setup file (again, this is just for AT&T. Other providers may or may not have this issue). Also, I recommend searching for the theme "Phatfinger" by storyr. I'm now using that one over Chameleon.
[Edit - 19-Aug-07]As of a few days ago, WeatherPanel is no longer updating properly due to the authorization code not being available that it looks for. storyr on PPCgeeks.com has posted fixes for this in this thread:
http://www.ppcgeeks.com/weatherpanel-freaks-weatherpanel-authorization-update-t8164.html
You need to either patch your current version, or use the full cab. Patches and the CAB are in the ppcgeeks thread.
Here's the steps:
If you don't have Weather Panel installed, then download and install the WP_Auth_Moon_TRIAL08.CAB (from the thread on ppcgeeks listed above).
Go to Start > Settings > Today > Items and uncheck Weather Panel (since we are overwriting files in its directory, it can't be active)
Unzip the "WP-Chameleon.zip" file (attached to this post) onto your PC. Drop the entire MarsWare folder onto your phones \Program Files folder and tell it to overwrite the files.
Go to Start > Settings > Today > Items and check Weather Panel to activate it. Click on Weather Panel and then click on Options and configure it. Set your theme to Chameleon-240 QVGA. Change the layout to your preference. To learn how to decifier all of them Go to this thread and scroll down about halfway to a post by Storyr where he gives all the info on this Theme.
I recommend you install WP-Pilot (see zip file attached) so you can do "One Handed" control of WeatherPanel. Readme in the zip will explain what to do.
There you have it! You'll have a cool WeatherPanel theme, and correct moon phases after doing this.
What I've done is put the WeatherPanel Cab, WP-Pilot Cab, and the Marsware directory from the zip file all in a folder on my SD card. Then when I flash a new rom, I can do all of this fairly quickly to get WeatherPanel back up and running in just a few minutes.
A big thanks to Storyr at PPCGEEKS for doing this Theme, creating the WP-Pilot plugin, and doing the Moon icon fix (and the much nicer moon icons included).
Here's links to the threads for each of these (my zip file just has all of it all together so you don't have to do each install step, just the one copy of the Marsware folder):
Moon Phase Fix
New/Better Moon Phase Icons
WP-Pilot Plugin
Here's are links to the WeatherPanel Wiki for Icons and Themes
Icons -> http://pixel.citadel.org/weatherpanel/wiki/index.php/Weather_Icons
Themes -> http://pixel.citadel.org/weatherpanel/wiki/index.php/Custom_Layouts
To give you an idea, here's my Today Screen with the Chameleon-240 QVGA theme active

Hi
I really like the look of the weatherpanel. So far I have used pocketweather, but have never been 100% satisfied.
So I followed your instructions and it looks great - but I have a few difficulties with the moonfase, that I can't find the answer too - even when I go back to the original threats.
Either it shows a black moon and 0%, and then if I rotate the different modes, it suddenly have no images, and then says 46031 instead of the 0%. I have tried to change between default icons and the others - with no luck.
I have two Wizards that run WM6. I have tried the installation on both - and it is the same result.
Do you have any clue what is wrong?

No clue. Moon Phase works just fine for me after doing the steps above. What you describe almost sounds like you don't have the fixed DLL. DId you make sure WeatherPanel was unchecked (not active) in Settings > Today before you copied the folder? You can go to the like I provided and do the install of the fixed DLL directly too.

Yes, it was unchecked... but I will try uninstall it, and then installing it again - maybe I have more succes the second time...

Now I got it to work.
In the first place, I had it installed on my Storage Card - but I now reinstalled it on my device momory - and it works.
How is your WP installed? Because I would prefer having it on my SC if possible (which I also thought was an option with this program...?)

NEVER install anything that amounts to a Today plugin on your Storage Card. You will always have issues with Today Plugins on storage card since your storage card isn't available when you boot the phone (and the Today plugins tend to load before the SD card sometimes comes available).

Thanks a lot for this, Mfrazzz, it looks much better than the default available view for WeatherPanel.

Thank you for your help, mfrazzz.
I will keep that in mind about today plugins.

That theme already looks pretty sweet...

What I do is go to settings, 'add new' in the city page, then go down to search and type in the city... make sure you are either on the internet, or you are connected via activesync...

Yeah it is, but its the Black Code theme.. I want one thats more grey and red and silver..

i am connected to the internet. i am searching for nyc and it says not found or no connection

Okay, couple of updates:
New status bar that not only displays information, but provides new functionality.
Status bar displays: Signal strength (up to 5 bars), Carrier name, Wifi Power status, BT Power status, Data connection status, ring profile (on, vibrate, off), and battery level

Bug Fixes:
- Memory Leaks
- Program Button image duplication
- SMS error on newly assigned contacts
- Other system bugs
- Smaller icons for better performance
- Battery Meter
Next update will include:
- Skinnable Clock on Home Screen
Alright, I've had a couple of weeks to work out the bugs and to implement most of the suggestions you guys gave me.
So, here is the new and improved MusicFlo
Get Icon from most programs
Suppports png transparency for Program Icons
Fully customizable graphics (all pics found in \Program Files\MusicFlo)
Size and position of Program and Contact buttons now on config.xml
Try it out and let me know what you think!
The CAB will overwrite the original MusicFlo, so no uninstall necessary.
You still need the two HTC apps in your Windows folder if you don't have them already.
Not on video: Open S2P by clicking the album art on the Control Panel.
Original Post:
Making Cube Skins is fun for a while, but then you realize that you are just prettying up someone elses program, and who knows what changes that program will go through in just a few months. So I decided to give programming my own "Cube" a shot.
I listened to what people were asking for with the Cubes. Here's what most of you said you wanted:
- more icons
- a changable background
- more than one contact page
- web favorites
- general information on one side
So I set out with that in mind, MusicFlo has four individual screens.
One for General info which includes:
- a TouchFlo 2 style clock
- notifications for new email, text messages, missed calls, and voicemail
One for programs with TouchFlo style interface (up to 9 pages of 9 buttons each)
One for contacts with TouchFlo Style interface (up to 9 pages of 6 contacts each)
One for Favorites with the ability to take a screenshot of the web page for "Visual Favorites" (up to 9 pages of 4 Favs each)
The configuration is built into each screen. Simply tap and hold to make the buttons start to shake, then tap the button you would like to configure, or tap the background to change the background image and change how many program, contact, or favorite buttons you would like.
This is my first programming work, so please let me know what you think. I am pleased with what I have accomplished. I know it's not much compared to other programs out there, but if you're looking for a simple, fast, non-memory-hogging FREE Application/Contact/Favorite launcher, I think you'll like MusicFlo.
I want to thank up2no6ood for creating the icon style for MusicFlo. Without him the icons would be boring.
Technical stuff:
MusicFlo can be edited directly from the Program, or by editing data.xml in the \Program Files\MusicFlo folder. The very first entry is called "Browser". Change it if you use something other than Pie for your web browsing.
Only add buttons through the program itself. Adding entries in the xml file won't do anything, and it could mess you up later on, so only add buttons (Progs, Contacts, Favs) through the program interface. I'll try and get a YouTube video up later for a walk-through.
ENJOY! I know I am!
P.S. - For quick access I use AEButton Plus to change the long press of my dpad button to MusicFlo.
P.P.S.- Added Icon Pack (MusicFlopng.zip)
P.P.P.S. - To make MusicFlo open with a swipe up (ROMs with Cubes only) move MusicFlo.exe to Windows folder and rename to Biotouch.exe
Update 5/27/08 - fixed functionality for programs on Storage Cards

can i tell u something bro it look sux try some better graphix bro but its features are good this is my review

Not yet. I'll work on it, though. Thank you both for your thoughts. I worked so much on the actual program that the graphics were more of an afterthought. I'll work on those as well.

If you want a hand with the graphics

Very Promising for a first App.
And as you see it's interesting enought to get people offering help.

Looks very nice, I'll definitely be following the development here. I don't have the time to try it right now, but maybe you can give us a quick video on it to show us how smooth it is.

Just dling, looks promising, what I would love and I am not sure if this is possible would be if it could be a today plugin, then I could include it in UL or even on its own. Will post my review after trying. WOOO HOOOO more toys to play with.

Simple and effective!
This application has much potential! I love this ap. Everything you need in one program

seems good but graphices need some development,I will try

not bad functions but looks kinda complicated..

Best part about the graphics is that you can customize it in any way you want. All of the graphic files end up in \My Documents\MusicFlo, so if you don't like it, you can change it! But yeah, if anyone wants to help me out in the graphics dept. I would be grateful.
Also, I just updated the CAB in the first post. People were not able to launch program from their Storage Cards. Fixed. If you've already installed, just download this zip and replace your exe with the new one. That way all of your button changes stay.

I like this applications alot, but I wish instead of the favorites would be a weather, I can totally change all the graphics for u to a real Diamond look but you need to change thesize of the bottom bar and selected icons in ur source code. also I couldnt find the files for missedcall, call history and such, I would like to change those as well. pm me if you wanna work something together.

with poorlyduck's graphics skills , the looks will be unrivaled

Interesting application.
Once the visual style gets pimped up, it'll be a very good htc home replacement.
Sascha

Musicman,
Congratulations. Great start for your first app.
You have offers of help from PoorlyDuck and Oseven on the graphics front so this is bound to be a winner!!
Bookmarked this thread to keep an eye on developments.
Well done and keep going.
WB

does it support vga?

looks good, and is easy customizable not like pointui or mobile shell. But definitly need more functions like weather and maybe some animations if this is possible ?
And what i miss at most is a fullscreen version !!!!

Why is it called MusicFlo if it has nothing to do with music?

a good questionn
where is the music tab !!!!

REQUEST: WM7 Theme for Phonealarm?

Hey, does anyone have or can help me make a WM7 like theme for Phonealarm?
Here's what I have for rlToday. I used the one that was posted here and did a couple of adjustments. What I really want - and I can't do on rlToday - is to integrate the battery, RAM, storage memory, and SDcard memory gauges into the theme. For now, I have it separate under Resco Today plugin and it looks out of place.

**********************************update *****zip file is included in post number 7 ***********
I have my own version.
It is based on phonealarm mixing lots of things, mostly iwise, rockability & littlerain stuff (thanks to them).
It has a bigger clock, with the alarm icon appearing in the middle
On the right side of the clock I have date, digital clock, operator (I have dual SIM), pa profile, and small weather icons + bt, wifi and data icons.
When you click the clock you toogle the screen brigthness (for outdoor instant usage).
I use MVBklight, which can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=379270
In the normal mode I combine it with todayagenda or spb diary
The skin changes with the profile, so while in the car, the bottom part has also big buttons for the tt7, A2DP bt, the voice recognition, set volume and so on.
You must define the applications in the advance tab in pa.
The list of relationships between icons and apps are:
*Image_AppLink12=quickgps, to update tomtom info ota
*Image_AppLink11=iRadares, great app to download tomtom radars, voices, icons and poi file (spain)
*Image_AppLink13=Voice Commander, the one comming with the cuise as default
*Image_AppLink7=Setvolume0.43: also in this forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=395695
*Image_AppLink6=BTAudiotoogle, to send the pda voice to the parrot ck3100
*Image_AppLink2=TomTom, that's clear I think.
*Image_AppLink17=WisBar Advance 3 - [Task Panel]
*Image_AppLink9=backlight (m command)
*Image_AppLink19=void, only to support a background image
*Image_AppLink18=void, only to support a background image
There is also a "home" tab showing the weather instead of the analog clock (at home I am not in a hurry and i have the digital clock as always). When I select the home profile, pa changes the SIM to the private one also. The skin is so different because I want to notice that I changed the SIM (the operator does not reflect this always).
There is a "outdoor" tab with no use so far: should be for a specific setting for outdoor and music oriented, with bt settings and a music tab or plug-in but I have not found anything as I want so far. May be you can give me a start on this area.
I usually combine it with wisbar and wisbar desktop to hide top bar and build a wm7 bottom bar
instead of the top bar I have the meters taken from a statusbar skin (sorry I can not recall the author) since I like it more than the ones in I wise. The meters are part of phone alarm skin. Between the meeters I have a windows incon with the wisbar taskmanager,
usually I combine this being the 1st tab of ultimatelaunch: let me recap: phonealarm as a plugiin of ultimatelaunch, being itself a plugin in wisbar.
I can not upload screenshot but if you want me to post the phonealarm skin I will do. As you see it is very customized so you need to be familiar with phonealarm skinning, so if it is useful for you or for anybody else who may also want to help me improve the graphics side....
I can not post the files right now because since my cruise is in the bedroom and my wife is sleeping but I will do if somebody requests it.
btw. the folder is called iwise so if you have this wonderful skin installed (the best wm7-ish for people who do not want to get complicated) you will have to change forlder name and reference in the phonealmarm .skin files. (updated: already renamed to cruiserrr)
I have customized the same skin in rl-today but I like it more with phonealarm since in rl-today tabs are slow as in phonealarm but with phonealarm you get the profiles functionality at the sametime and better than any other program I have tried so far.
I just wanted to answer you since I read your post a long time ago and I was surprised since I did not see any answer today
**********************************update ******zip file is included in post number 7 ***********

Please do post it.

If you go to the PhoneAlarm forum or search here for iWise it is perfect.
Very clean, and nice looking. And it is just a simple cab install. Try to find IWise3 because that was the last one before the dude went crazy and deleted all his posts and stuff.
He has a clean version, professional version and simple version on top of a transparent version. So it basically will meet all your needs.

He is not crazy lol read at the thread what has happened actually and if I were him I would do same things
Btw the skin is not deleted you can find it on pocketmax main page of site..and yes so far that skin is looks same with WM7

cruiserrr skin
Here you are ! The file is below. I have a spanish 6.1. official rom so my sd card is called "Tarjeta de Almacenamiento" and I have windows/start menu/programs also in spanish. May be you have to change something manually.
I have updated the description in the 3rd post above.
The skin is defined with calibri font but I have not included the fonts (I hard reseted some time ago and did not have time to reinstall them, any help to test and add the fond will be welcome).
any help to improve usability with thumbs or to improve graphics is welcome. I have no idea how to make a cab of it.
My wish list to complete my ideal skin would be:
realistic:
improve clock: 1.when clicking to clock most of the times it changes backlight but a few others I still get the change time screen) 2. I think I would like it slightly smaller to give more space to the agenda bottom part.
profile selector: names are not shown completely I do not know why
mail/sms/voice: I ripped the graphics from a jpg file and added the green balloon so they can be better aligned and with better definition.
car buttons: make them more integrated in the style of the skin, and more selfexplanatory
dual sim support: it is supported but I have not been able to benefit from it. I have a single sim with two numbers inside.
unrealistic:
copy+paste tool and hide-top-bar tool with small footprint or included in phonealarm
weather plugin: written sentence explaining today's forecast and ability to define weather should be sync only when active sync'd
clock: different colours and seconds (as in rl-today)
plug-ins: possibility to include plug-ins so they change also with the profile.
profile selection and weather forecast: kinetic scrolling
battery and signal: possibility to show % if wanted and higher area of sensitivity to open details.
apps: possibility to define them in the skin instead of mapping the button to the app and defining the app in the pa settings tool
link to wm6 notifications: I have to open whatever application so that the top bar shows and then check the notification (other than alarms, emails and the rest that are controlled by pa)
multitab: quick multitab functionality when no change profile is defined.
background: may be would be nice to change by profile or by event (missed calls)

Any chance on making this in landscape? It looks awsome!!

robbyr, thanks so much for the compliment !! I have no plans to make it landscape since I only use landscape mode for tomtom and since I have not that much time at this moment but I will happily support anyone willing to try to do it !! The skin files can be opened with notepad and you will see it is not that bad.
In fact it has been difficult for me to build the skin since I can not install any software in my pc so all was done with basic image programs and online converters and try-and-error ...
note: as you know, to completely uninstall the skin is as easy as deleting the cruiser folder and the cruiser*.skin from the pa directory where you have copied it.

thats for qvga correct.. i need vga

Yes, it is only QVGA! I tried to optimize graphics size and I do not need VGA resolution. For QVGA you can double size of all objects and reference to them as coordinates. iWisen is VGA/QVGA since PA is able to handle VGA as QVGA.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
with current phonealarm version you only need to add a line to the skin so is vga compatible. simply add
VGA_Skin=1
to each skn file with a text editor and that should fix it.

- If it's not an AIP widget zip file, please include deplyment instructions.
I'll check this thread often, but if you see I missed your widget please PM me and I'll update it.
All Ideas or questions regarding widget creation should be posted on this thread, and bugs or questions regarding the app itself on the other one.
Documentation for creating an Auto Installable Package zip file can be found on the widget Creation Manual Here.
On this post you have an example of an AIP package and a small guide to create your own on 5 steps. Thanks nir36!
INSTALLATION:
Widgets marked with AIP are Auto Installable Packages.
- Place them on FEWidgets\install
- Go to Configuration -> Install New Widgets
- Restart the Application (or the today plugin)
Widget zip files not marked with AIP, must be installed manually and it will be explained on the creators Post.

I was wondering if action script for Flash Lite is supported for widgets (or would it work if system have Flash Lite installed).

flash lite actionscript is supported, becuase flash 7 for Pocket PC supports AS 2.0.
FEWidgets won't work with Flash Lite, it needs flash Player 7 because flash lite does not provide an ActiveX control. (I believe there is a way to create a player on a specific window invoking FL_CreatePlayer from flashlite.dll, but it's not documented.. at least not for free)

Widget AIP (Auto Install Package) Manual
The following zip contains 4 flash files and 1 XML file which are the example of how to make an installation package for FEWidgets.
The code in the XML was written by nicolas in the Widget Creation document.
all you have to do is download the example, replace the files in the zip with your files and change the zip file's name to have an installation package.
changes required are as follows:
1. change zip name to whatever you want..
2. switch both NAMEico files with your files while NAME is the widget's name
3. switch both NAME files with your files while NAME is the widget's name
4. edit the xml file and change the values inside according to what is written in the right fields.
5. copy the zip file to /program files/FEWidgets/install and in the config app choose to install new widgets.
PLEASE! if you post a reply with a widget and want to add more widgets DO edit your post and add them there. this way we can keep 1 post per user with all his widgets and keep this thread as clean and organized as possible for nicolas to read.

here are the first 3:
Unread SMS Count and Missed Calls Count with 2 icons and a Clean Date Widget.
-Clicking the icon in the SMS widget will load poutlook messaing
-Clicking the icon in the Missed Calls widget will load iContact in Missed calls
-The date widget is nicolas' date widget changed to be white with no background

Updated first post with all 3 widgets =D (when you have some time could you place a screenshot on the post with the three widgets? I believe I've seen one already )
Thanks! (I've also added a link to the AIP template you made )

hehe. i must also mention that the basis of the action script for all widgets was made by nicolas... i only edited and added things... and will change more.
I have to go to sleep.. long day tomorrow, but i'll post screen shots tomorrow.
goodnight

Widgets
Here is my post for widgets.
1) Battery Meter ver1.4 AIP package; its a 5 stage animated meter; screenshots: onsidebar.jpg onscreen.jpg
2) LGMenu widget ver1.0 AIP package; ported version of LG Today Plugin and LGMenu for FEWidgets, fits best on 240x screen with no bottom bar and Opera browser installed; screenshots: LGM_sidebar.jpg LGM_onscreen.jpg
3) Tiny Browser ver1.0 AIP package; this widget is based on Touchwiz's browser shortcut gadget however this one is configurable - you can actually make it run just any .exe from \Windows\ directory; you can change launched application/browser at FEWidgets\custom\Tiny Browser\config.xml; by default its set to launch Opera; screenshots: Tiny_Browser_onscreen.jpg
All packages install sources aswell (custom\).

btw, there should probably be an option to uninstall a widget

There is an option... on the configuration section when you select a custom widget the uninstall option on the menu should be enabled.
There is also an installer section for uninstall special commands I think (dont remember right now).
You should restart the application when the widget is uninstalled.

It seems like we wont be able to use just one post to put all widgets/screenshots - its just limited to 8 files
BTW new widget posted (Tiny Browser)

I'm having problems with widgets which call dynamically other swf files. It works just fine on pc, icon shows on sidebar and widget can be dropped on screen but it just dont appear, like its nothing there and FEWidget dont freeze or crash. Here is sample code:
Code:
_root._quality = "high";
_level0.FEWidgetsAPI.SetClickAndDrag(_root._name, _root.drag, Empty, true, false);
_root.loadMovie("w1.swf");
stop();
and there are just two layers where second one ("Drag") containing movieclip with alpha=0

When you have this kind of problems I suggest you look at the FLA files on the sources. You have to use the full application path and appenf file:// at the start:
Code:
_level0.FEWidgetsAPI.SetClickAndDrag(_root._name, _root.drag, null, true, false);
_root.loadMovie("file://" + _level0.BasePath + "[B]swf_folder[/B]\w1.swf");
stop();
Where swf_folder is a folder below the app folder. You can check pb.FLA fpr a working example.
You should also not set quality on your widgets as it affects the whole movie.

nicolas, besides the problem with the inability to disable the Application Shortcut and Weather widgets there is also a problem with uninstalling installed widgets.
when i try to uninstall it tells me that it's "Unable to uninstall Widget"... or something of that sort.

Thanks, "file:" thing work but i can't make it dragable. Tried several ways but nothing changed. Looks like i'm doing something wrong. Here is code i end up with (there is only one layer called "main" and nothing on it):
Code:
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("content",0);
_level0.FEWidgetsAPI.SetClickAndDrag(_root._name, _root.content, Empty, true, false);
_root.content.loadMovie("file:\\Program Files\\FEWidgets\\widgets\\w1.swf");
stop();
w1.swf is still an external animated movie with its own actionscript

I need help.. this is driving me nuts.
When i embed the numerals for the Missed Calls/SMS Count widgets it makes them disappear. only when i use device fonts it works.
i have no idea why...
it looks REALLY bad when it uses device fonts instead of embedded ones.

As dragging involves assigning events you might want to create another MovieClip and use it as a hitzone. Try using null instead of Empty too.

Try increasing the size of the text area.. perhaps that's what is bothering you. (it happened to me once )
I'll check the uninstall procedure on a future... oh an btw b5 had some bugs, I recommend a fall back to b4.

Managed to get drag working but whatever i do all my layers always remain bellow spawned w1.swf. The only reason it drag is because the movie spawns only particially on layers surface (despite that whole movie is visible).
Drag didnt work with MovieClip and SetClickAndDrag function. I went for following code that i found on your manual:
Code:
on(press)
{
_level0.WBeginDrag(_root._name, this);
}
on(release, releaseOutside)
{
_level0.WEndDrag(_root._name, this);
}
Its better now but still need to be found a way to get a layer over the movie and to center this movie
EDIT: movieclip is now centered, now only hitzone button/layer need to be brought at the top

lol, i made it 6 times the size it was and it still doesn't work.
it just won't show the number.
I embedded chars on other widgets and this is the only one it doesn't work on.
edit: WORKS! the god damn widget was set for flash player 10 instead of 7 for some reason. those are the exact problems which make your want to kill yourself.
cheers
btw nicolas, i updated all 3 widgets, please update the first post.
another question: as you can see on my screenshot there is some kind of nettish background to the widgets. is there a way in which i can delete that?

That's the idea, to have an actual enhanced replacement for the actual clock.

this is big time! can't wait!

so am I ! is there the possibility to add the date to your plugin ?

haha just wen i think i have figured it all out the game changes Look beautiful bro. Cant wait to learn.

nice
QVGA PLEASE

This is shaping up to be great. I know you saw my other post about calendar integration (like next appt, etc), how about the chances of the clock also displaying the time your next alarm is set for? even if it was small. not a big deal, just some random ideas... keep up the good work

-Challenge: It is possible to ad a "seconds" hand to the analog clock but it would be process intensive.

I guess this would make your phone run really slow.. Even when you just install WM6.5 with the blizz skin on some phones, they already run slow. If you then want to add the analog clock with a "seconds" hand, your phone would run really really slow... It could be good for some phones, but if you really want to do it, you should add a checkbox in the settings menu you are probably going to create for people who don't need the "seconds" hand or for whom it would make there phone run too slow...

This is a must-have!

Wow! Looks great!Good job!

cant wait... plz post the cab sooooon!

looks great keep it up.

Looking Forward To It....Keep It Up !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes Sir !
look nice...
Wait for cab and Skin...

Wow, now that's something useful and pretty. I'm very impressed, thanks for sharing, 12

Looks awesome, as always from rpereira. Can't wait!!

The most titanium skin till now,im waiting for this,many thanks

Very very nice...this will replace on my device the too simplistic digital clock immediately. Waiting for it.

very impressive. this will open up a whole new world for titanium. thanks rpereira. cant wait to install it.
