Winterboard deletes Plugins

The latest version of winterboard deletes a lot of the plugins I have.
Also WeatherWidget doesnt work with it either.

yeah i got the same ... i renamed the Wallpaper to Widget which didnt do much ... if I put WeatherWidget above my theme, it shows the weather but the wallpaper from the theme is not shown. or maybe we didnt understand what the Widget.html support is about !

Yup, weatherWidget is broken here as well after the update. This is on a theme with a static, non HTML wallpaper.

Guys, there is certainly one or maybe two threads in the WinterBoard forum on this. There are two ways to fix it. The first one I used was to put the wallpaper.png of the used theme in the WbWeatherWidget folder. It works, but it's not ideal. If you want to switch theme, you need to replace the appropriate wallpaper.png in the WbWeatherWidget folder. The other one involves copying two .html files and the folder /private from WbWeatherWidget into the folder of the theme you are using.

problem with doing it this way (adding wallpaper to widget theme folder). If you run vwallpaper it makes it run in the backround under your wallpaper even when it is disabled. It killed my battery in a few hours with no use. The past versions of vwallpaper barely had an effect on my battery. Something in the new winterboard makes it run in the background all the time.

Thanks buddy, must have missed that thread.
Doing it with mobile finder is a breeze and can be done on the fly.

Again, thanks.

The update to WbApp v0.76 (WbWeather Widget) now works with any and all html wallpapers. Of course you can still only load one html wallpaper but the weather widget overlays all of them and works great.

Drag the widget to the top.
