Hi everyone,
as I was just browsing through my different cities in the weather tab and thought, wouldnt it be nice if the default city to show up first when I go to the weather tab would be determined by my current gps location? I travel quiet often between different cities and I think this would be a nice little feature.
To the developers out there, does this seem like a hard task? I was thinking about coding this myself, but I'm totally unexperienced when it comes to windows mobile developing.
Greets,

Very good idea !!!
Great idea - and as requested before - it would be great if we could see
the local time next to the name of the city.
Cheers

Hello all,
2 hours of fruitless searching has prompted me to post here.
Does anyone know of a program that will rotate/cycle/change your Today screen background/wallpaper at a time interval? (10mins, etc)
(I suppose I'd pay $10 or so for it?)
Thanks guys!,
Dax.
I use StocksAndWeather for that. Not only does it cycle through your today screen themes, but it's a weather (and stocks) manager too. Gives you weather updates and warnings, but the kicker is that it comes with weather themes and changes the theme based on the weather. So if it's raining outside then the theme will be rain related. If it's snowing then the theme will show snow. It's a pretty neat program. You can also install your own themes to rotate in. Here is the link
http://www.stocksandweathertoday.com/
The weather icons are also animated so it makes your today screen look good, and you can instantly tell what the weather is like outside based on the theme. It's one of my favorites.
Hey there!
Thanks for your quick response!
That's not exactly what I was after, I just want to change JUST the background, not the whole theme. But thanks anyway!
Dax.
Just to register my interest in a utility that can do this. Have been searching for a long time but can't find anything as yet.
There must be something out there.
Thanks
WB
Well it can't be impossible, so yeah, I just wish someone would make it too.
It's such a shame I know nothing about programming.
Anymore on this please? Still looking.
Thanks
WB
Sorry WB, seems like no-one else likes our idea!
Dax,
Unfortunately seems you could be right. These tools are readily available for PC but it seems not for PPC.
Anyway lets not give up the search and if either of us finds something we should let the other know.
I will bookmark this thread for future reference.
Cheers
WB
@dax/wackyB: Guys, I don't need the money. will make something for u guys. am swamped right now by some other thing that i'm trying to do...will see if I get some time before this sunday..shudn't be too hard I think....
G'day mate!
That's very noble of you, thanks for your offer!
Whenever you're ready, just let us know, no pressure
Thanks so much,
Dax.
Theme Manager Plus does this.

Hi PhonePhun,
I believe that program only rotates themes, not wallpapers/backgrounds.
Which would mean you would have to create a seperate theme for every wallpaper you wanted to use.
Besides being inefficient, it wouldn't actually be all bad, but considering you can't create themes with wallpapers that work in both portrait AND landscape configuration, setting a wallpaper is still the best way to go.
Thanks for your input though!
All the best,
Dax.
Shantg001,
That is an EXCELLENT offer, very much appreciated. Let us know when you are done.
More than happy to make a contribution if required as I have been looking for a tool like this for a very long time.
Cheers

Hi everybody!
Like every semester I'am fighting with my new timetable and the dozens of different rooms i have to find on the campus again... Is there any chance of creating a new tab in TF3d that only shows a picture/text (timetable for today) and where i could switch between days.
I know it sounds almost like the standard picture browser tab. Actually its really the same ^^... except of larger size of picture and no animations.
Or may theres an easier / better solution?
Hi guys i dont know if someone has already posted this application with a nice UI. it uses internet thats the problem. I was wanting to know if there was a developer who could have a look at it and tell me if we could try to make it work without the internet connection so it would be a standalone application. It has much potential as it is so much different UI that i have been using and maybe we could use it as a default lauching application for today sceen. As i use a tytn because i cant afford to buy a touch pro or another phone for the moment, its a shame that its always the same things that we are using. Cant use tf3d and manila 2d is quiet heavy. If anyone could try it and see what are the potentials i would be very grateful. The application works through internet connction via activsync, wifi, gprs, 3g and edge. Thank you for any reply
these pictures are too small!
here new bigger images
wow this are big pictures , i google for myself
thanks.try it
I tried it, wasn't very great in my opinion. It was too slow, and not very organized.
not that great of a program, its slow and its a RAM sucker

Not to mention it's a major resource hog. Not good at all in my opinion.
this is more a newsreader thank a GUI and to make this a offline application sounds sensless.
thank you guys for your replys. the application uses xml thats why i was looking forwards for someone to try to get into it. i know that it would have been hard to rewrite the xml settings for each tile but never mind. one of the developers is on a quest to try to write a replacement to touchflo in the near future, hopefuly it might work on my divice. thanks again for everyone who took their time to have a look at it and their honest opinion.
hi guys...
i wander if posible to add more locations to weather tab cos i live in small country (macedonia) and i got just 1 town from here(capital1) , so if posible to add more info for here ill be thankfull , or at least some advice...
ty in advance
If you search, cause I don't remember off the top of my head, there are ways to adding citys if they aren't listed. Unfortunately they don't have every city so you are going to have to make due to whats available. Search a bit if you can but I'm sure someone will step in and show you where to look if you haven't found it by then.

Full of useful stuff , including how to add "small cities" to weather tab
thanks alot guys, u did great pointing me on that page, now i got every towns from my country ...
WM 6.5 has really opened the doors for some nice development for panels. Much like the existing Touch Flo 3D, panels can be developed to show your favorite....well anything. Already great work on weather, fave people, opera, twitter, facebook, ms office, programs, settings...colors, themes...etc!!!
One of the things I love most about TF3D is the stocks tab. I have started to tinker with a stocks panel for Titanium, but wanted to get a tab started for any who may have input, or have begun development themselves. I have been playing around with the cprs, bronzeres, and colors for some time, but this is my first past at creating a new panel from scratch. The good news for me is many have laid some tremendous groundwork to help make this an easier process.
My plan is to link the existing msn finance widget in 6.5 to the panel. The plan is to show the details of each stock pick from msn widget to the titanium custom panel. I am in the process of mocking something up just to post what I am thinking soon.
Moderators...gods of xda...please keep me honest as I am not actually posting any dev just yet. If I am out of line, please accept my apology in advance and shut me down, but kindly please don't lock me out.
Thanks....more to come!

If I knew where to pull data from seperate program I would try this. Maybe in the next week or 2. Does anyone else wanna jump this one?
+1 for stock widget
instead of msn money should be better using yahoo finance, by far more complete... titaniumweather use mortscript to fetch accuweater data, will be possible make this widget same way?

This might work if you set it up like Showaco is doing his radar for TitaniumWeather.

i am with you here man... i would give away TF3d if I can get a stocks plugin for WM6.5 good idea.... great idea...
There is a FRENCH stock titanium panel.
You can analyze and modify this for your convenience.
Go to http://www.jmlacou.com/wpJML/?p=15
Is there any update on the app?
With the current advancements in plugin developments, this would actually be an easy one to make. it's just a matter of reading rss feeds from stock websites. I'll see if i can make some time next week and look into this.

The French version looks perfect. I only know basic French words. I poked around on the site some and I cant understand. I am going to try a translator or a friend who knows French. Does anyone have any pointers?
