WP-Pilot v2.0
UranusWare ? 2006-2007

A Today plugin that allows one-handed navigation/operation of WeatherPanel (via the d-pad).

-

Overview

• The WP-Pilot plugin can be one pixel in height or invisible. When activated, it 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 d-pad center button to activate.
  
  Moving the d-pad up or down will move to the next/previous plugin.
  
  WP-Pilot can be "skinned". Use the WP-Pilot Options to change colors and pointer types to match your overall Today (or WAD) theme.

Fixes/enhancements in version 2.0:

• Enhancement: The plugin now has "Invisible" mode - zero pixel height.
  Enhancement: New pointer type: Diamond
  Enhancement: Device resolution aware - works with QVGA or VGA WeatherPanel themes, in either portrait or landscape orientation
  Enhancement: Support for Windows Advance Desktop (plus other desktop management systems)
  Enhancement: Option Dialog windows now use "property pages" - split into tabs
  Enhancement: Option Color settings now have slider bars for each color component, plus color mixing window
  Fix: Now properly passes control (focus) to WeatherPanel detail/pop-up windows - 5-way will continue working
  Fix: Now better at computing the width of repeating forecast sections (tough one!)
  Fix: Now works on international devices (such as Italian)
  Fix: Now properly reads the last line of WeatherPanel layout files missing a cr/lf
  
  Warning: When using "Invisible" mode, the Today plugin separator lines may disappear. Some people see this as "feature" If you need your separator lines, use "1 pixel" mode.

• Depending on your preference, I've attached both CAB and PC install setup files (Readme.txt file included in each).
  
  1. Download the desired install file to your PC and unzip it.

  4. Open the Today settings (Start -> Options -> Personal -> Today) and access the Items tab.
  5. Check the box next to WP-Pilot, then move it (Move Up/Move Down) directly above or below WeatherPanel.
  6. Click the Options button to access WP-Pilot's options settings.
