The same thing happens if I use the Ultima Icons. Am I doing something wrong? In your examples above, they all show the large 'Today' background.

Ultimata icons definatley won't work with PhatPhinger. I checked the Stardock download and it definately has Huge icons in it (I use them everyday with no issues) The only thing I can think of is an "installation malfuction" of some sort.

Also, make sure you're using PhatPhinger II or III...

nice work (as usual).

Are animated icons noted as such by including "animated" in the file name?

Correct. Stardock is the only animated set in this group...

thanks for looking storyr. if it helps I what to explain what I've done. I got the phat phinger 2 theme in my marsware/themes folder. then i got the stardock vga icon pack in the marsware/icon folder.
with the old qvga version i had a stardock icon set that was in a cab. the cab installed the icons in a weather panel folder and not the marsware folder. i dont know if this makes a difference, but.....

anyhow, i must say that i have been away from weather panel and windows mobile for quite a while. took a trip with blackberry. it has been a while, but i do still think i understand where to put this stuff.

great job with weather panel agian storyr. martin (where ever he is) would be proud of you. lol

thanks, cody

The largest animated Stardock icon is 64x64 - which, in VGA, is the normal size. If you're running PhatPhinger on a QVGA device, you'd be better off using the QVGA icons. Still, the huge ( 128x128 ) isn't animated.

I've got some animation software - I guess I could try doubling the size and see what the quality is like (usually not very good)...

Good to hear from you again Cody!

ok, i think i figured it out....

in the qvga stardock animated icon set, we see icons 1-47 animated. all 47 icons have a .wpa file extention.

in the vga startdock animated icon set, we see only icons 1, 3, 5-16, 23, 25, 37, 43, and 45-47 that animate with the .wpa file extention. that is only 21 icons that will animate. infact, i dont see a #2, #4, #17, #18, #24, #33, #35, #38-#42 icons anywhere in the vga set.

what was happening to me was i was set to see the #32 icon (nice sunny day icon) and since there is only the png in the icon set it didn't animate. later in the wee i show the #30 icon which i know was animated before (partly cloudy) an it wasn't animated either.

so i guess i have everything installed right. it just looks like the vga set is half way animated. anyhow, thanks storyr for you work. it still the best we got.

BTW, i am using the htc diamond which is vga. lol. i may be stupid, but i'm not that stupid.

Cody

attached is a set of the qvga stardock animated icons that i use to use, i dont know where i got them but they are definatly different than the vga set. the two look nothing alike. they came in a cab, but i have them ziped up for ya.
