Updated WeatherPanel theme for 240x240 devices (Treo)
What it is:
Simple-240 - An updated WeatherPanel theme with detail screens to fit the Treo's 240x240 screen resolution. If you use the Default theme, then you've probably noticed some of the weather screens are too wide (or long) for the Treo's screen. What's different about it: Instead of designing a whole new them, I modified the Default theme files to fit the Treo 700 - while attempting to maintain the original look of the WeatherPanel detail screens. How I did it: I determined which files WeatherPanel was using to display the detail screens (both graphic and layout files). Next, I altered the graphic files the best I could - no flaming from graphics artists please! I then rearranged the layouts to fit. What it contains: It contains updated graphics and layout files, plus most of the Today screen layout files that have been posted in this thead by myself, Malatesta and Treonated. How to install it: Download the attached file and upzip it. Copy the Simple-240 folder (and files) to your device at \Program Files\MarsWare\WeatherPanel\Themes. Then enter the WeatherPanel setup and change the theme to Simple-240 and, select on of the Simple-240 layouts (if you want - any Default layout will work too). What it looks like:

 It was a fun exercise. I just hope the product keeps running for a while, considering the absence of the developer. Apparently, if the Marsware site goes away, so do the weather updates for the product... I guess the price is right, though! I checked out the other offerings, and at this point in time, WeatherPanel is still tops (IMO)!

In the WeatherPanel settings, select your city and click Edit. Then click the Weather Images button. Choose Add New, then type a name and the URL to the image you want. I used the URL to one of my local tv station web sites: http://www.king5.com/sharedcontent/n...le-440x330.jpg When you find the image you want (in IE on your PC), right-click on it, choose properties, and you'll see it's URL. This is what you type into WeatherPanel. By the way, it doesn't have to be a radar image - it can by any type of image you want. For example: Solar system simulator: http://mars1.jpl.nasa.gov/mgs/realtime/odyssey.jpg Another thing: After WeatherPanel has collected a few images, it displays a little play button on the image. When clicked, it will animate all of the images it has...

Site for WP Skins
Not sure if people know about this here:
Here are a bunch of themes for WP here: http://pixel.citadel.org/weatherpane...Custom_Layouts I gotta say...I just tried out "Stealth" and it's pretty darn cool. Haven't seen what limitations there are but I'm impressed!

Have you tried after a soft reset?
It should look like this: Program Files\Marsware\Themes\Simple-240 Then go to settings -> display. Select Simple-240 under Theme and then the layouts should become available.
