Opera mini won't animate gifs because the server re-compresses all images to static high-compression. Always has.

Here is a pic of weathepanel integrated into sense replacing the standard weather tab:



I will try and get a tutorial post up sometime soon.

Since I was no longer using the HTC weather I also found a way to remove it from the home page for a cleaner look:

You wouldn't have a setup file or cab for this look?

I really liked the weather panel. the only issues I had with it was it seemed kind of buggy and laggy. the buttons to zoom, play, rewind the radar image would never be shown and sometimes when I would tap the image where I thought the button might be, the program would open to the detailed forcast instead of putting the radar in motion. Integrating this into Sense would be awesome but i think it still needs some polish. Mcop10 has done a phenomenal job with making the program fit properly on the screen but those buttons are still missing. This is why I love the TP2!!!!!! You can do just about anything you want with or to it to make it truly your own. Thanks for all your input. looking forward to more.

I have used WeatherPanel but you have to get rid of Sense right? It is a standard plugin for the old windows home screen?

Actually, what I was using was integrated with sense and was an overlay of an existing tab. trouble was when you hit "update" on the tab sense would update the program under the weather panel not the weather panel itself. plus with all the stuff i mentioned earlier, it was kind of glitchy. If i had the time to play with it and maybe tweek it to my liking but alas too much on my plate right now LOL

Try this?
I am using MTP (Manila Today Page) and Weatherpanel adapted to look more like the Sense Weather Tab, and I am replacing the built-in tab with MTP.

Not my work, just adapted from the work of others and it works great!
