What it is:

A WeatherPanel theme built with the car commuter in mind. Provides current weather conditions at a glance, plus quick access to multiple traffic camera images (or any kind of image, for that matter)
to help keep on top of the traffic jams.

Features:

• Elegant, uncluttered display
• Built for easy one-handed operation with WP-Pilot
• Quick access to multiple traffic cameras
• New technology: Shows the ACTUAL Moon Phase on the night icons
• Pop-up windows with large button bar for easy "touch" selection
• Enhanced "24 Hour Combined Temp./Precipitation" chart
• Supports 240x240 and 240x320 devices, in both portrait and landscape orientation
• Layouts come in dark (black) or light (silver)
• .Cab files included for easy installation to storage card

Note: This theme MUST be used with the Commuter-240-QVGA Icon set. It will not work correctly with other icon sets.

Installation

• Installation instructsions can be found in the Commuter-240-QVGA Readme file.
  
• Installation options include manual installation via ZIP file, or a CAB file install (to facilitate installation to your storage card - the icon set is kind of big). I recommend installing the theme to your device's main memory, though.

Acknoweldgements

• Thanks to Doreen who's wonderful Vista Alive theme for WAD was the inspiration for Commuter-240's sidebar. The Vista Alive theme can be found here.
  
• Thanks to xcilion who's Vista Portable Edition theme for WA2 (available here) was the inspiration for the overall look of Commuter-240. Some of Commuter-240's graphics were sampled from Vista PE.
  
• Thanks to CodyPPC who beta tested the theme and offered some excellent suggestions for improvement.

WP Image Tutorial
 

Since this theme is centered around exploiting WeatherPanel's ability to capture images from the internet, here's a tutorial to help folks get the stuff they want...

Just awesome! Thanks you once again storyr. :D

My pleasure. This one won't be everyone's cup of tea, but I really like the clean look. It may be a little tall for some folks (70 pixels), but it required a some height in order to make viewing images worthwhile...

great job story.

thanks, cody

this is actually something I've been looking for, just something really nice and simple to show current conditions :)

Is there anyway to use WeatherPanel with WP-Pilot within PocketBreeze?

is there anyway to update this so it shows tomorrow's high/low in the corner or anything?

Awesome work!!! Thanks!!!

Looks great story... especially with WAD... do you find that WAD slows your Treo at all?

I'm thinking of investing in it, but have read some rants about here in ppcgeeks... just curious and sorry for the off-topic remark...

thx in advance for any advice/feedback you can offer...
