It sounds like you had everything installed correctly.

Question: Which city did you select? When adding a city, make sure you enter the city name into the Search For field, tap the Search button, then select the city from the list that's returned.

Also, because you have a Treo (square screen), there are some settings that you can't see - because they're cut off. To see all of the settings, access the WeatherPanel settings through the Today settings:

Start -> Settings -> Personal -> Today -> Items tab -> highlight WeatherPanel and tap the Options button.

You should then get a vertical scroll bar that allows you to scroll down to the settings that you can't normally see, such as Units (on the Cities tab) - yours sound like they were set to Metric...

thanks for the up on this i appreciate your feed back would you happen to know what are the files in the registry that would need to be deleted so i can start fresh with this install?

Sure. To completely remove WeatherPanel:

Uninstall WeatherPanel
Uninstall any icon sets/themes that were installed via a CAB
Delete these folders (if they exist):
- Program Files\MarsWare
- Storage Card\Program Files\MarsWare
Using your registry editor, remove these keys (if they exist):
- HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Marsware
- HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Marsware-Install
- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Apps\MarsWare WeatherPanel

Hey storyr, did you ever do the layout in a 115 or 120 for me since the 124 and 127 didn't do anything for me? if you can I'd like to have in 240x320, thanks

I can't shrink it any further without totally reworking the layout. Do me a favor a post a screenshot of your setup - with the 124 layout showing...

This is such a great theme storyr, thanks again!. :D

I did have time to slightly mod the 240x320+145 layout to my liking. 8)

Storyr
SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEETTTTTTTTTT... for a guy with fat (phat) fingers and a 700wx tiny screen, this is PERFECT... I WAS a son of commuter fan prior to this, but... just AWESOME...
Now, focus all of your mystical wizard powers to create a wp pilot to work with pocketbreeze...
Thanks again storyr... you are awesome.

Looks good budney. I can see that the CLOCK is very important to you ;-)

Thanks - glad you like it. I did figure out why WP-Pilot doesn't work in PB. PB screws up the window names, which is how WP-Pilot finds the WeatherPanel plugin. I'm planning to revisit it and see if I can develop a workaround...

Hey storyr...I have used this theme for about a week and absolutely love it and ALL of it's functionality. I do miss a couple of the Son-of-Commuter functions though like the ability to display a radar image from the today screen, also the theme has reduced my image space considerably when viewing radar images and I no longer have the ability that I can find to zoom in or out of images...thoughts?

WeatherPanel, when programmed to display a specific radar image (1-8, in this case) does not show the zoom/play buttons by default. Just place your phat phinger on the image and hold for a second and they'll show up...
