Thanks for excelent app.

You can shrink the png files for the clock font to make them smaller if you wish, but this will not make the plugin take up less space if that's what your wanting to do. Those settings are built into the plugin and would have to be hacked beyond the capabilities of my customizer to get that result.

1. Run HHC and go to Weather Options -> Choose Weather Database and select Custom. This will set the reg entry to redirect and swap out the default database with your custom one.

2. If you haven't already, while your in the Weather Options, choose Add City to Custom Database. This will also let you set the city as your default so when you reload the plugin, it will already be setup for you.

You may have to soft reset the device after this process to make the redirection active. If you already tried this, we'll try something else.

Hope this helps.

Ok so after following this everything works perfect. Now my town is shown in the weather instead of some town that's 45mins away. Thanks...

I guess the key word in ur instruction is def. the SOFT RESET. 'cause before getting thsoe instructions i was doing everything that u stated in steps 1 and 2 but never did a soft reset after changing the Weather Database and adding my city and that's wat my mistake was 'cause after i exited out of the customizer and then did a soft reset, my town was showing in the weather tab..... thanks emunutz

Your work is really great. All the tabs work fine!

But I have a problem with the high of the plug-in (using HTC Universal, VGA device; landscape and portrait mode same problem). I am not able to see the first line (ex. Weather, Sound:Normal) Is it possible to change it somewhere?

i installed the whole file everything is working fine..my only problem is that i have 2 of everything on the top and bottom, example is: like i have 2 clocks and when i click weather i have 2 weathers, click speeddial i see 2 sets of them one on top and another on the bottom. sorry i couldnt post a SS cause im at work. anyone know how to fix this problem?

This is a known issue with VGA devices, as the Home plugin is QVGA only. AFAIK, there is no way to fix this currently. If anyone has better info, feel free to correct me.

It sounds like you had a previous install (or pre-installed with your ROM) of the Home plugin. I *THINK* this is because of a duplicate entry in the Today Items screen. If you disable one of them, that should make it show you only one copy of the plugin. however your problem runs a little deeper to completely fix it. Best bet would be to remove all versions you have installed, then re-install the version you wish to keep. If that's not your problem, PM me and we'll figure it out.

oh i did have 2 of them installed, everything is fixed now what a great program i must say..and i thank you for the help, very very appreciated.

emunutz, this is a great program and it's running flawlessly in the two minutes I've had it on my Apache.

I do have what might seem to be a dumb question: Is thereany way to put TodayAgenda as a selection in the HTC Home Plugin or really any other program at all? I think it would be great to have that as an option instead of the ringer selector.

I'm sure it's a lot more complicated than I'm thinking, but it's just a thought.

I don't know if I understand the "Live Download" correctly...
Will this allow for a link to a traffic cam and download the images like this other app does:

I am loving this so far but I am having one small problem. Whenever I click the email button to check my emails it always takes me to my IMAP account regardless of whether or not it has new emails. With phonealarm when I click on the email link it will take me to whichever account has new emails. Is there anyway to configure this plugin to do that or at least take me to the email account selector screen?

[emunutz]

Wildog27,
There is no way for us to substitute other content in the tabs like SPB, we can only replace the graphics and alter a few settings.


Raging Idiot,
There are so many users at my work I'd like to call "Raging Idiot" ...anyway back to business. The "Live Downloads" means that you can connect to my repository any time you wish and pull down any new appearance sets that are available. It may be a slight misnomer to call it "Live", but I couldn't fit "Appearance and Plugin Downloads" in the title of my thread.


landale,
Unfortunately no, there is no way to configure this behavior through the plugin or the customizer. If someone has an idea how we could possible "hijack" the button or the poutlook app, let me know and I'll try to work it into the customizer/background application.


I think that covers everybody...hope that helps you out.
