That's because you used BossTool to move your applications, there should be a link to it though from the /Library/ folder.

It works fine using City/Country if you are outside the US. And in the US you use "United States".

If your icon doesnt show up it's because you havn't selected an icon set. I did that at first, and by default it doesn't have one specified, so you have to pick one.

If you want to customise, you can edit the stylesheets, I have moved mine into place like bluaeon and made it fit into the the space a bit better. You can always make other customisations though however you like.

Maybe it would be wise to post a zip of a pre-configured version of each style with bells, whistles and stars and arrows pointing to the location where you put the city/country so that people can atleast get it going.

I know it's not a difficult thing but looking at something like that can put the feint hearted off, and even though it's a simple task of find and replace, looking at a page of code scares some people.

Anyway, thanks for the widget, it's cool, i'm going to customise it somewhat to suit my needs but in terms of functionality it works great.

My first aim is to have it refresh when the image is touched.

are there plans to make this more user friendly (ie not have to use SSH to change settings on this thing?)

Did you remember to enable it in winterboard? It's an easy to forget step.

It also wont work alongside other winterboard background options that use a html page.

Does anyone know how to remove this while in SSH? When I try to remove this it gives me a failure to remove error.

Well, i think Cydia must move your apps around when installs. Try install BossTool and use it to move the apps, it should fix the links etc.

Looks nice, thanks.

I do not know if it is just me but I am not extracting a '.theme' file I am seeing all the contents so i cannot right click and 'show package contents', any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!

If someone figures out how to create a manual refresh on this, it would be very much appreciated!

Has anyone tried to activate this on their lock screen? Don't really want to try just yet. :P

**bscott05** · 09-02-2008, 07:48 PM

a little tweaking and messing.. but got it just right..
Sweet widget!

**NakedFaerie** · 09-02-2008, 07:55 PM

A few issues with this.

1, No cache, always refreshes. Everytime you lock or unlock it refreshes. On the lock screen it works nicely but when I unlock it all I get is loading and it never loads. Just gets annoying as everytime it locks it refreshes. Will it ever remember and stick to the schedule we setup in the config file?

2, Is there a way to make this work as the weather icon instead of behind all the icons?
I had to edit the scheme file just to make it fit in the dots bar as it was behind the bottom bar of icons and you couldnt read it at all.
Anyone else having this problem edit the file (I used split.css) and change margin-top:315px; to margin-top:340px; That puts the split scheme in the dots bar. BUT!!! If you also use that same scheme for the lock screen it does move it down so copy it to another file and rename it to something like splitlock.css and use that for the lock screen.

Looking forward to version 3. Hope that has less bugs

If you want it to manual refresh just lock and unlock your phone.

I found it works better in the lock screen. I've turned it off for the wallpaper screen as it is all wrong and never refreshes. It's always says loading. Takes a bit of messing around to get it in the right place.
