weather city name too long - HD2 General

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.,

My Today screen

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...

Thanks.
It is nice and interesting.

Is It Possible To change The Weather Program

Hi guys i was wondering if it is possible to change the weather program to one that has a bit more details then the current weather program in the diamond?
Paul
Would be nice if that tab could show SPB Weather instead, using one of the larger Greatbal graphics. At least that changes automatically to display the current day, without having to update first.
It would be nice to change the server update service too, because accuweather su..s.
I would like to see a local time of the location selected. Something like a world clock together with the weather.
can anyone help with this at all?
Really would like to know as this one on the diamond isnt accurate at all.

{WITH PIX}Binary clock for S2U2 HELP!!!

hi i have an idea for a new clock for s2u2 but have no idea how to make it work
its a binary clock, its a bit tricky to view but geeks will apreciate it there is a pic below to show you how it works
Its easy to make it work.
Just name it cc.png or .bmp and place it in \Program Files\s2u2\GFX\ClockA.
Soft reset might be required,
And you might need to choose a diffrent clock in the s2u2 settings
yeah but its animated differently to a normal digital or analog clock although i might be able to do something
and its gonna be tricky anyway since for eleven u actually need 11 not two ones

For eleven you do need 2 ones in this case, because this looks like a "easy" bin. clock
I would be even nicer if you could make it like a horizontal clock
one that has three horizontal dotted lines, so 18:10:05 would look like:
_xooxo 18<hours>
ooxoxo 10<min>
oooxox 05<sec>
It's harder to read because you have to count to 59 instead of 9
if you need a picture, I got one on my desk
cool ive nver thought of that before. ideally it could work either way. that pic would be cool
has anyone got any ideas on this
there are some more pictures below to help anyone interested
Here is a quick & dirty Binary Clock use as you wish.
Set these files in \Program Files\SU2U\Clock
I included the AM PM images as well. If you don't like the way it spaces it out just delete or rename them in the folder so they don't display...
Enjoy!
wow. cant wait ur 4eva in my debt
any why do i have to rename them other files

Not a problem see my above post and you'll see why when you look at the Screen caps, It doesn't look too centered sadly but unless there is away to remove the AM/PM it wont ever be centered prefectly ... Doesn't look to bad even with my really odd BG
Just disable the top curtain.

cheers sorted i was trying to edit it using the pc and it didnt like it. so i used total commander instead
i have renamed the binary pngs to correspond with manilla 2d but when i apply them they look like this:
Does anyone have enough know how with manilla to be able to tell me how to get it to show up as a "digital clock" should so it will be spaced properly?
I have uploaded the renamed picture below if you want to them
nevermind i got it
posted it in m2d skin thread

TF3D program icons

The touch flow 3d programs tab uses the default crappy icons for the programs shortcuts, does any one know whether we can use our own slightly larger icons for these shortcuts?
Try TFL3DTABICONSV3.cab - I've installed them on the Touch HD and they work fine. Colour icons. Wish I knew who did them so I could attribute properly.
Edit: Oops. Too much haste reading your post. The above icons replace the TF3D tab icons, not those in the Programs tab.

i still hope some one has an idea as to how we can use our own icons for the programs tab, not the tab itself but the actual icons for the programs

This looks to be from the Diamond forum, does it include an icon for the Stocks tab??
It doesn't include a colour icon for the Stocks tab, so it still uses the original b/w one.
Overall, a very neat little upgrade!!

Yes, it works well sans the stock icon. I use this along with the NoTopCurtain and SemiTransparent_bottom_Bar and Pamas Transparent Slider. Provides a nicer look. Cheers.
Thanks AFW, have installed it and it looks much better than the original black.
regarding the topic of the thread, im not sure if its been discovered before but iv found a way to add your own icons in the programs.
Using resci registry editor or similur go to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Manila\ProgramLauncher
You will notice that theres 23 folders in there
Now lets say you have atleast 1 program activated, the program details for that should be in folder "0", you will see in that folder that the path for the application is stated, you also notice that there is a string called "IconPath", put the path of the icon you want into that string and then save.
Move to a different tab (any other then programs) and then come back to the programs tab and you'l notice the icon has changed to your preference.
One slight issue is that the icons become really small, im looking into how that can be changed. Im asuming theres one of two solutions, either
1. Change the resolution of the icons
2. or set the size some how in the registry
(Im looking into it, and please post any findings you have in this thread)
Another discovery I made is that by copying one of the folders in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Manila\ProgramLauncher and then pasting it back into HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Manila\ProgramLauncher with the next number 24 (there are only 23 folders, represeting 23 possible program links in the programs tab) and saving it, gives you another possible application link in the programs tab.
The only problem with that is when you select it and add an application it remains blank.
Hi..
I'm having some difficulties downloading this file. Is there an alternative download site or can someone kindly email it to me? Much appreciated.

You want HDWall. It's primarily for making HQ wallpapers that work on all tabs, but it also allows you to create your own slider images.
You can get it here...

Hi johncmolyneux,
Not really, I want to add some icons into the slide bar w/ self defined program like calendar touch / pocket player instead of just changing the image of icon. Is it possible?
Thanks

Yes, it's possible, but it's a massive undertaking. In the time that Manila has been about, I've only heard of 2 (I think) tabs being developed for it, other than ones that HTC have made.
Manila is simply not configurable in that manner.

I did some research and see a program call MTP(Manila Today Page) can actually create a icon into the slide bar and link to a self defined program. I wonder how is it work and may be we can write our own icon too
