Please help, best regards

You have two body tags in your file. You can only have one.

HTML Code:

<body onload="onLoad()">

<body style="color: black">

should be:

HTML Code:

<body onload="onLoad()" style="color: black">

As for not refreshing, I have had that happen once myself. I had to reload the spring board. The author has reported it happening to him, too. You may want to check out the original message board this was posted on to get details. If you go to the first post in the thread and go all the way to the bottom, Sayam has a link to where he found this mod.

It was confusing to me at first...but after some tinkering I figured out how to play with the style sheets. I am actually pretty satisfied with split, and I enlarged the weather icon ( widget whatever ). Here's mine

@nickh. I didn't edit anything on the weather app, I thinks it's because I have a completly transparent background up top. I want to make a top bar at the perfect opacity that it all looks the same. The icons are also white, I found them on deviant art and the set is called "flat"

Cheers for the reply Flip, for some reason when on the springboard screen the font is very dull (tried in a few different colors, no joy), but when i open a app for a split second when it opens it becomes very bright, have no idea, but its not a big deal i guess.

For anyone still struggling with this... I've added a Weather widget theme and configuration utility to WbApp. THREAD HERE

Hello,

Can you mind sharing yout theme ? what is the name of this theme ?

thank a lot

I followed the directions to the letter, configured the file making sure to set what you mention, even setting exactly what you have for settings, I uploaded it to the correct folder and made sure permissions were correct, then enabled it in winterboard and even powered the phone off/on but nothing shows up at all?

I've disabled most other things in winterboard except some colored sms balloons and a different battery icon, and I've got the 5 icon dock enabled, could this be the issue?

*removed five icon dock and restarted springboard, still no go*

*without reading 20 pages of comments to see if someone else already mentioned this I'll note for the stoners like me out there, don't xfer the ENTIRE weatherwidget.theme folder that contains the '__MACOSX' and 'WeatherWidget.theme' folders, JUST xfer 'WeatherWidget.theme' folder INSIDE THE MAIN 'WeatherWidget.theme' folder*

or is it possible to get the originalBubble to go on the left side of the screen?

I have the same question: "Is there a way to put 2 cities in the widget right beside each other?????"
ANYONE???

While the weather widget is really cute, it's not highly informative. I mean, I know what kind of weather I got right now. It would be useful to get info at a glance about tomorrow's forecast (and possibly the day after tomorrow). Of course, a tricky issue is how to display all this info. I think that persichini's version is potentially the best (but not necessarily the only feasible one). One could display temp and tiny icon for today, tomorrow and day after tomorrow over the transparent weather icon.

It would be nice to be able to do add this feature to the weather widget (or maybe it's already there and I did not notice?)

Thanks. I just added the wbapp and configured it from there.

and Yes, the Analog Clock works!

I'll post the details soon, I need to clean up some things.

But one note: this only works with the 2 modded files (Wallpaper.html, Split.ccs.) You could modify it for the other CCSs though...

The clock Could display it's own numbers, but for now, I have a .png on the wallpaper to show it.

Maybe someone with better CCS skills could make a better design?

Later!

Houdini -

I really like your 5 icon dock! Could you post a link to where you got it? or post it yourself if you created it?

Thanks

**Houdini7** · 09-07-2008, 02:45 PM

Several more docks in the .rar file....

I also included the icons for the Dock

Not my work, just borrowed from others...

Enjoy!

**Chef Jer** · 09-07-2008, 02:58 PM

Thanks Houdini

Are you planning on posting your theme when you finish it?
