Announcing
WP-Pilot ... from
UranusWare!
A Today plugin developed by
yours truly that allows
one-handed navigation/control (via the d-pad) of the
WeatherPanel.
-
Overview
- The plugin is one pixel in height, and when activated, displays a pointer over the WeatherPanel plugin.
Moving the d-pad left or right will move the pointer over each "clickable" item on the WeatherPanel layout.
Press the center d-pad to activate.
Moving the d-pad up or down will move to the next/previous plugin.
The WP-Pilot options allows some "skinning" - you can change colors and pointer types to match your overall theme.
Bonus!
- The WP-Pilot options window contains a section called WeatherPanel settings. These are a subset of the actual WeatherPanel options. You know, those that many people have trouble finding because you have to scroll to see them. For example, some folks may not even know the layouts have arrows to change cities - that option is turned off by default and not visible unless you scroll down to it. Also found here are the WeatherPanel Units - for our Canadian and Italian friends
Installation.
- Prerequisite: You must have WeatherPanel installed. Get it here.
Depending on your preference, I've attached both CAB and EXE setup files (readme.txt file included).
1. Setup method: Copy WP-PilotSetup_1_0.exe to your PC and run it. It will install WP-Pilot to your device. CAB file method: Copy WP-Pilot_1_0.CAB to your device and run it using File explorer.
2. Open the Today settings (Start -> Options -> Personal -> Today) and access the Items tab.
3. Check the box next to WP-Pilot and move it (Move Up/Move Down) directly above or below WeatherPanel.
4. Click the Options button to access WP-Pilot's options settings.
FAQ- Q: My clock disappears from the title bar when WP-Pilot is active - why?
A: Go to Settings -> Personal -> Clocks & Alarms. Select the More tab, and check Display the clock on the title bar in all programs.
Q: I'm using Tabs-240. When I choose the Lunar tab, why does WP-Pilot still acts as if it's on the Main tab - moving the pointer around over things that aren't there?
A: When using tabs, WeatherPanel switches to a different layout. WP-Pilot doesn't know this and goes along thinking it's on the origninal layout. No problem though - it will still know where the tabs are - so you can get back to the main tab!
Q: Does WP-Pilot work with PocketBreeze?
A: Not sure yet. (input from PocketBreeze experts here?)
