If you pay with Paypal you will get your reg code within a day or two. If you buy it from a retailer I don't think Martian ever sees the money and you don't get a reg code. It's the best program (by far) out there and I don't think we should encourage ripping off developers (especially ones that are this good). Just my two cents - sheureka

Thanks for all your help everyone!

Introducing Chameleon-240 - a new, compact WeatherPanel theme built for square screen (240x240) devices and optimized for one-handed operation using WP-Pilot!

At the heart of Chameleon-240 is the integrated button bar (styled after WMP11), which offers key WeatherPanel functionality:



The center 'Play' button controls the multiple internal layouts to suite your needs (shown with the Dedication41 icon set):



Features:

1. * Compact (61 pixels), but packs a lot of functionality in one theme.
   
   * Integrated button bar with eleven functions - optimized for WP-Pilot.
   
   * Easily choose from twelve background colors to fit with any Today theme, plus a translucent (Ghost) background to let your Today theme show through.
   
   * Customized pop-up windows (with "crumpled" backgrounds!? ...anarchy!) - including a pop-up help screen.
   
   * Customized detail windows (also with "crumpled" backgrounds ) - completely 240x240 compatible.
   
   * Device resolution aware? No way!
   
   * VGA? BS! (QVGA only)

Update: To maintain your favorite Chameleon-240 color/layout combination (after setting changes, soft resets, etc), set your WeatherPanel layout settings as follows:

The layouts are coded as Chameleon_XXL, where XX = the color code, and L = the layout code.

Color codes:

01 = Chameleon (green)
02 = Lime Light (lime green)
03 = Blue Man Group (blue)
04 = Sky Bound (light blue)
05 = Seeing Red (red)
06 = Pretty in Pink (pink)
07 = Fresh Squeezed (orange)
08 = Milk Chocolate (Brown)
09 = Coppertone (tan)
10 = Off-White (white)
11 = Back in Black (black)
12 = Gray Area (gray)
13 = Ghost (translucent)

Layout codes:

a = Date banner
b = Current conditions
c = Four day forecast
d = Five day forecast
e = 24 hour temp/precipitation
f = Radar
g = Lunar schedule

In the WeatherPanel settings, set the Layout file name for the desired color/layout codes. Example: I like blue/four day forecast. My layout is set to Chameleon_03c

Download it here.

Installation instructions are included in the zip file (Readme.txt).
700w owners beware: This theme takes 695K of storage space!
Important: Make sure you have "Enable CearType Fonts" checked in your WeatherPanel settings.

Enjoy!

No probleemo on the delete - my mistake.

Hints:

1. Your button bar will be complete if you turn off the "Don't display arrows" WeatherPanel setting.

2. To maintain that setup (black/date banner) after a setting change or soft reset, set your WeatherPanel layout to Chameleon_11a.

BTW - Which icon set are you using there? I don't have that one!

1) gotcha, I fixed that to show the arrows now
2) that was going to be one of my 1st questions glad I can "lock it in"

The icon set is Yahoo_Standard_qvga

I updated the Chameleon-240 post with instructions on how to "lock-in" your desired settings...

Excellent...

Quick question, what's the height of the old Stealth that most of use have been using? Just for the sake of comparison. I really want to know if I can fit this new theme w/o having to lose some of my other info.

Thanks again!!! Keep up with the awesome work!.

BTW, did you get my PM some time ago about the WP-Pilot beta version you sent me?
