Re: [Mobile Shell 3.0 Widget] WeatherPanel (with current conditions)

Unfortunately, this is impossible unless SPB opens Mobile Shell up for custom widgets. Like all other widgets, WP-Active is just a hack of an existing widget - in this case the link widget.

Hacking the link widget was the only way I could get Mobile Shell to update the text (current temp., for example) without having to exit and restart Mobile Shell.

The link widget supports a single icon, with a maximum size of 64x64, and centered text. That's it...
