On Sunday night I was altering all the weather icons on the TF3D weather page via the registry. When I restarted my HD afterward all the wether icons had chnaged to the snowy weather graphics. Imagine my suprise on Moday morning when I open my bedroom curtains and found the whole of the UK had a covering of snow.
Must be related to the edit
Does anybody know if I change all my icons to the sunny weather graphic will the UK weather get better....
Perhaps you could change the icon to raining gold coins ?
give it a try!
I was looking at the weather in Tonga on the HD and then shook it at little. I've just seen they have had a small earthquake.
Do you think they are related ?

that gave me a good chuckle........and someone needs to get going on that
(or change it to 'raining cats and dogs')
It goes from bad to worse......I accidentally deleted my stock price monitor for the company I work for last night whilst trying to fix the weather fiasco........come in to work (through a driving blizzard) this morning and found the company has gone backrupt.......No job .
Darn you HTC Touch HD ........Very Blackstone

Just thought id show a shot of my today screen See what people think.
It was based on the iphone theme and uses rlToday.
The clock works (the hands go round!) and the calendar is also right.
Has anybody else done a cool today with rlToday?

cool is nice how did you do it please email me :[email protected]
thanxs dekyprio..
Install rlToday plugin http://rotlaus-software.de/
Turn off all other today plugins (optional, frees up space)
Get wild with XML editing. There is a guide on the site to the tags you can use.
Basically, you can place text, pictures and registry items anywhere on the screen. You can also place icons for applications (and resize them to however big/small required.
That looks sweet! Does it work properly in landscape as well? If so, might take my first steps in xml editing!
It works fine in Landscape, except you get scroll bars if the height/width is too much.
The rlToday developers are considering xml sections for land/port modes so you can have a different layout that switches when you change orientation. It is not supported yet however.
I spent a while working on my icons!
The Maps icon is cool, because its near where I live (not actualy exactly were I live, or you would all stalk me, hehe).
I suggest you make your own maps icons using google maps! its so easy, just screengrab the map of your area, and cut out a small section the right size for the icon. You can zoom in/out to scale the map to fit your icon well.
rlToday is incredible!!!!
This is my screen available at rotlaus site in the skin forums section...

Pyrofer,
Nice.
Can you post the screenshots on landscape as well as portrait in 192,128, and 96dpi? I'm curious to know how well it shows up under those conditions.
Thanks.
It is nice and interesting.
this is a topic for today screen:

i know it's not appropriate to request such thing here, but i've been searching for something like this a while... a simple app showing the clock on the today screen without more crappy add-ons like HTC Home. Anyone... please?
Great idea
ill second this, wood be great to have it next to my bed as an alarm clock, a nice full screen simple digital clock
it wouldnt even need to worry about power usage because it would be on charge
i'm not referring to full screen. Just a Htc Home like clock but without tabs and fluffy useless content

Check out battery status. It is highly customizable. I am using pieces of the theme from the following link:

not analog but a big digital clock. I'm testing Battery Status right now and it looks awesome but i want to disable all the other functions. Thanks for the help offered
good luck finding this, i've searched high and low and there is no plug in with just a nice big clock. tried battery status yesterday but it also has a bunch of stuff that comes along.
give this a shot http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-dr-puttingham-samsung-time.html
my device is VGA and that plug-in is too small for me
you can use rltoday.. if u want just a digital or analog clock.. it doesnt come with all the battery status stuff..
you can create your own skin or you can go to their forum and search for the desired skin...

I'm of the same idea, I've made a simple skin that show a digital clock "identical" to the one of the HTC Home.
Sorry, but for now I can't post the code and a screenshot, you have to wait the next week...
Ah... I have a VGA screen, so my skin is perfect for you
i did the same thing with RLToday. I have the digital clock and the msg notifications, nothing else.
Anyone know if there is a font that looks like the Alien Round found in HTCHome Customizer?

Hi everyone,
since a few days it's snowing in good old germany and this makes me smile when I look at my TF3D weather panel.
I was wondering if it's possible to change the weather animation to be endless? It would look very fine if the snow would fall and fall and fall.
(I even like rainy weather cause it looks so cute.. )
Hello. Long time lurker, first time poster.
So, I want to have my wallpaper of choice on only my home screen, and have the weather animated as well. I'm running Verizon's official 6.5 upgrade with, as I understand it, Sense 2.1 (I haven't been able to confirm that the way I could on the old ROM, though).
I made a cab of the wallpaper with the nearest I could find to the proper settings, which was TouchFLO v2.1 - No Compression - Home Tab. HDWall tells me that I need Co0kieMonster's Patch. I found it here: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=529730, though it definitely seems to be meant for the Blackstone, and not my Rhodium. Not able to find anything better, and not knowing my specific version of Sense, I tried a number of his cab's, starting with the Verizon specific one, and then running through all of his 2.1 variants. At the best, there was no noticeable change on my phone. At worst, the clock would only display white boxes with bits of black in them (and wouldn't flip up to show the text version), the Call History became 0 Missed Calls and my calendar appointments wouldn't show up on the home screen. Trying different settings for home screen only in HDWall either resulted in no change to my wallpaper, or the icon bar at the top being weirdly skinned or turning green (which makes sense, since I wasn't using the correct settings). HDWall works fine creating a wallpaper for all my tabs, but I don't want that.
So then, does anyone have a solution to suggest? I can't imagine I'm the first one to have tried to do this with this particular configuration. Any advice and/or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
I believe this is what you are looking for: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=503511&highlight=hdwall
This has the patch included already.
If you want to change the wallpaper of the home screen without affecting other tabs then go to settings on TF3D and change the home wallpaper. Then install this cab, soft reset, and the animated weather will be on top of any custom wallpaper...

Gah! That was sooooo easy! It was just a cab! I'd put probably three hours into getting this to work, and there was a cab for it. Thank you so much!!
So now I have another question:
When I installed the cab, the top curtain on my home screen disappeared. I was thrilled about this, because I was going to get rid of it next anyway. As a result, though, the clock shifted upwards to fill the space (around 1/4"), but the weather animations didn't. In most cases this doesn't mean anything. However, when it's sunny and there's the lens flare, it comes from just below the sun instead of inside it. When icicles form on the clock, they're happening a quarter of an inch below the top edge of the clock, rather than on the top edge.
These are minor issues, but I was wondering if anyone knows of a fix. Thanks in advance...
I already have weather animation on mine. I didn't add anything. Is this stock T-Mobile 6.5/2.1?
Mine's the stock Verizon 6.5/2.1. My issue isn't that I don't have the weather animations (I do, both with the default wallpaper and, thanks to the above cab, with custom wallpapers as well), but that the clock on the homepage isn't where the phone thinks it should be, which results in the weather animations being misplaced a bit.

I don't think it will, no. The weather clock on the homescreen is limited to WinMo 6.5 and Sense UI, as far as I know, and this cab is for that.
Once your official ROM upgrade hits though, you should be able to use it, so maybe save it until then. It shouldn't be more than a month and a half before it's released.
Hi guys !
First of all great work with this forum makes so much fun to tweak my hd2 leo.
i am using the original big clock among with weather animation but my city name Offenbach am Main is overlapping with the animated sun. is there any possibility to cut of the city name ? That onlye Offenbach is displayed ? Thank u very much in advance !
Ive just had a play with the name entries in eth registry. Sorry, looks like it pulls the name directly from the servers. As soon as you adjust the name in the registry it removes the location from the locations list.
ahh ****
it aint a big problem but it catches the eye ! seems i have to get used to it
thx
@samsamuel, how about the long detailed weather forecasts in text like "intermittent clouds, etc...." that comes with the original weather/clock display? they also got cut, would you know of any registry tweak that can remove it? i really don't need to know in text what is the weather forecast.

i dont know for certain, but i suspect that text comes from accuweather too.
Go to accuweather website, and look at the hour by hour forecast, and you should see the text matches perfectly.
Both these things are possibly something that could be edited, but not via the registry. I suspectthere is a manila file that handles it.,
