Installation instructions can be found in the PhatPhinger QVGA Readme file (found inside the zip files).

Note 1: The PhatPhinger I theme MUST be used with the PhatPhinger QVGA Icon set. It won't not work correctly with other icon sets. The PhatPhinger icons are basically just the Yahoo icon set - with Huge and Huger icons added in. PhatPhinger II and III will work with other standard weather icons, provided they contain HUGE icons ( 128x128 ). I've provided a bunch HERE.

Note 2: Regarding images - 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...

UPDATE 10/21/2007: Added two new PhatPhinger themes:

PhatPhinger II QVGA

PhatPhinger II has reformatted layouts to work with any "normal" weather icon set (other than Yahoo). PhatPhinger II does have one requirement: There must be HUGE icons in the set ( 128x128 ). All of the icons seen below can be found here.

PhatPhinger III QVGA

PhatPhinger III has an "HTC Touch" style - thanks to member poorlyduck, who provided the graphics. It also will work with any icon set, provided there are HUGE icons in the set ( 128x128 ).
