Sprint HTC 6800 Mogul Titan Windows Mobile 6.1 WM 6.1

Update 2009-06-25 : Installed Commuter theme, nice, re-ran WP Widget cab.
It worked fine, but then when I clicked on the widget or WP-Activate a window
saying something like retrieving weather panel or whatever then a ping sound
and finally nothing, no new window with WP. In addition the widget was not updating.

So I uninstalled the theme back to the original and wa-la, now when I click the widget
or WP-Activate the weather panel, default theme, opens in a new window; ???

BUT, the widget still didn't update and I didn't touch anything while sleeping.

So on my way to work on the cable car this morning, I re-ran the widget cab
again and chose Windows Queue for the update instead of silent script,
and wa-la again, the widget update works. :->

Yay!

A custom theme is necessary for WP-Activate to open the popups. If you've modified the registry to just go to the Today screen, then you can use whatever theme you want. At least I think it works that way - I could be wrong I guess...

Nope.

Did you read the image tutorial, found in the WeatherPanel download index? Images aren't theme specific - they're associated with the city.

Not at this time, unless someone wants to make some more.

Thanks again.
