WP-Activate icons and WeatherPanel icons are mutually exclusive and aren't interchangable. See this post for more info...

All of this stuff can be found in the WeatherPanel Download Index...

[quote=storyr;909379]Tips and Tricks

Change what the widgets do when activated

Navigate to the following registry keys:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Spb Software House\Shared\Spb Menu\Customize2\WeatherPanel\Widget1]

- and -

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Spb Software House\Shared\Spb Menu\Customize2\WeatherPanel\Widget2]

Change the "File" string value to point to whatever you want, such as you Second Today link or the Show Today link...

Move the WeatherIcons.dll somewhere else

The WeatherIcons.dll is fairly large. If you'd like to move it to your storage card - go ahead and move it, then navigate to the following registry entry:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\UranusWare\WP-Activate]

Change the "IconSource" string value to point to it's new location.

This is above my paygrade on how to do it. I have PMH on and I can drill down to the Widget 1 & 2 but I do not know how to make it point to my Today Screen. I like the display on my Today Screen versus what the widget is currently pointing to. I do not want to screw anything up so can someone give me some advice. Thanks.

Sorry for the delay...

Change it to: \Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Spb Mobile Shell\[Show Today].lnk

Hi

I am in need of some help. I downloaded and installed both the main app and the widget here and added the WP Active widget onto my lifestyle screen but when i click on it nothing happens. During the injecting part it came up with an error about no WP city found. I can't find where to run configuration to add the city. When I look in my programs folder i have a WP Widget folder and a WP Active icon but nothing else. Please help. I can supply screen shots if needed. Thank you.

Edit** I did a soft reset and got the configuration to work so i got a city but now i can't find the configuration again. And when I click on my Widget nothing happens.

Make sure WeatherPanel is actually running on your Today screen, and then re-inject.

The inject menu is in Mobile Shell's menu -> WeatherPanel or, go to the real Start -> Programs -> WP-Widget -> WP Inject Widget ...

Ok, um how do I make sure its on my today screen? Do you mean like a widget on my main lifestyles screen? I am so lost.

To see your Today screen from Mobile Shell, open the menu (lower right) and choose Show Today.

WeatherPanel needs to be running on your Today screen for the link to work. If it's not there:

While on the Today screen, go to Start (upper left corner of the screen) -> Settings -> Today -> Items tab -> make sure WeatherPanel is checked -> OK
