- - [THEME] Chameleon-240 Version 2 (http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=1814)

Now I know why i didn't see it then. I downloaded a few themes and when i extracted them on my PC they each created subdirectories, but the readme.txt wasn't in the subdirectory. The readme.txt i have is for the stealth theme since i extracted that after chameleon. Oops.

Hey Storyr, as you can see by the screen shot below the weather alert shows up on the left side of WP (under the cloud) but not in the integrated button bar. I'm sure that I don't have a file in the correct place...but which file?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Coz

Code:

5.  Install the alert icon files as follows:



    5.1  Unzip the ChamAlert files (use folder names)



    5.1  Using the same method as above, copy the 

         ChamAlert folder (and it's contents) into

         each icon folder that you use. For example,

         if you use the Default and Dedication41 icon

         sets, your folders should look like:



         - Program Files

           - MarsWare

             - WeatherPanel

               - data

               - Icons

                 - Dedication41

                   + ChamAlert

                   + Mini

                 - Default

                   + ChamAlert



         Note: Some icon folders, depending on the install,

               may be installed in a location other than the

               example above.

Of course I read the ReadMe.txt . However the animated icon set that I'm using was located in Program Files/WeatherPanel. Instead of MarsWare/WeatherPanel... So after discovering that all is well and I thank you for your help.
Thanks mucho!
Late,
Coz

I hope I am not the only one but I always read the Readme.txt before I install anything.

Thanks OP, makes WP alot better. One question, is there any way to remove layouts from the cycle? So when I click the change layout button I don't have to see the lunar phase if I don't want to. Tried removing the layout files, but that just makes it throw an error of invalid layout file.

Thanks again for great work.

Yes, you can - but you have to alter the layout file itself. Removing the files will only cause problems (as you found out). Some background info:

There are 7 layouts (a, b, c, e, f, g), and each layout file has a pointer to the next. The last layout, "g", points back to the first - "a".

Each layout file is duplicated 13 times - one for each color (01-13). Thus, the layout files are named accordingly: Chameleon_01a.wpl is color 1, layout "a", and so on.

The moon layout (the one you want to skip) is layout "g". So, to skip it, you'll need to modify the previous layout ("f") to point to "a", instead of "g". If you want to do this for all colors, you'll need to modify all 13 layout "f"'s (Chameleon_01f.wpl - Chameleon_13f.wpl).

Here's the mod: This example is for color 01. Open file Chameleon_01f.wpl. In the "Layout changer" section (near the top), modify the reference to point to "a" instead of "g".

Code:

- Layout changer

;WINDOW-0

113,43,14,14

#VOID#

Chameleon_01g.wpl

0,0,W,H

CHANGELAYOUT

becomes

Code:

- Layout changer

;WINDOW-0

113,43,14,14

#VOID#

Chameleon_01a.wpl

0,0,W,H

Sorry for being so long-winded - you've probably already figured this out... :)
