ok thanks I got it to work, i think the problem was that it was on custom, fahreheit was on but for some reason it didn't work, imperial works tho, thanks again darren


Wow this is way more accurate than spb weather, which has been saying rain 4 like 3 days without a cloud in sight

this might sound weird... but can we make an icon set that is ONLY text, maybe with an opaque (white or black) background?

I like some of the weather plus widgets (their graphics at least) that come with mr skips widget pack, and I just want to cover up the temp from that widget with our wonderful widget here Cover up the rest of the plus widget with invisible app buttons pointing to wpactivate and viola! a pretty sweet wp icon

The other thing I want to figure out other than that would be if there is a trick to make the SPB weather (included in mobile shell) update more often but I don't know if you can or not?

Thanks for any help you have guys. I am new to this community here but read a lot over on xda-developers. Hope to be a decent part of this community too

It's pretty easy to make a new icon set for WP-Activate, but because of the way MS displays the icons, there can't be any partial tranparency. A totally transparent icon would probably work best - that way you would see only the text and could place it over anything you wanted...

Well, in my case; I would probably want a SMALL icon with text and NO transparency to cover up just the temps from the other widget. For a more general case I totally agree with you though.

What I want in the end is a very large WP icon set (maybe like half screen) that can look somewhat like TF3D weather. I assumed it would be harder to make that sort of thing, so I thought that putting a diff weather widget on there (weather plus - manila, from mrskips widget pack) and then covering it up might be an easier task.

Maybe I will look into making icons myself, but I am very busy so if anyone else wants to undertake this they can lol. If not, I'll get to it sometime maybe.

Thanks for the quick response, and obviously most of all for this entire app and whatnot everyone!

is this spb mobileshell some type of trialware?

Storyr - I was messing around with a MS3 utility I found on xda (http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...postcount=3062) and the developer of that widget set has quite a few different weather widgets. Granted, they all link to the built-in MS weather app, but I wonder how difficult it would be to make the WP widget do the same. In other words, would we be able to embed the entire WP display as a whole-page widget into one of the MS panels? That would be AMAZING because it would essentially turn one of the panels into a true "Weather Panel."

I am running into a bit of an issue with the spacing on the WP widget and the available space on one of the utility's clock widgets. How hard is it to adjust the spacing on the WP Pro widget to make it fit another layout?
