[RELEASE] WbApp v0.63 w/WbWeatherWidget

[CyberGreg]

[RELEASE] WbApp v0.63, now with WbWeatherWidget (and Themesets).

First, sorry about the other so called "releases", MMi was ready it was on my end. Hopefully this release will make up for it.

WbWeatherWidget allows you to configure that cool new Weather Widget without getting your fingertips all "ucky" with SSH, html and javascript code...

I take NO CREDIT for the Weather app, just that it is now hopefully usable by us mere mortals... I'll link to the thread in a sec but suffice it to say the weather widget uses WinterBoard's html wallpaper functionality and will display the weather info you configure. There are a ton of options and manually configuring some text is only fun for so long... You can't load any other html wallpaper when using WbWeatherWidget theme however as shown in the other thread it's fairly easy to combine two into one. In fact WbWeatherWidget goes one better and provides the necessary templates (see the "Files 4 HTML Themes" folder inside the theme folder). Suffice it to say you can link your other html wallpapers to all use the same (WbWeatherWidget) code so when you update your weather settings they will take effect in all your themes, if you so choose. You'll have to do the setup yourself but once configured it works great!

Themesets allow you to save your active WinterBoard configuration as a "set". This set can then be loaded at the touch of a button anytime you want. Themesets can even be created by using the WinterBoard app to bypass the limitation of nine active theme settings currently in WbApp. The themeset will save all "active" settings displayed in WbApp. You can also delete a themeset. This DOES NOT delete ANY themes, merely the listing in the themeset file.

Oh yeah added a "Prefs II" panel for those that want or need more that 9 themes, this adds 8 more for a total of 17.

Note: If your active themes list two of the same theme as I have shown in the screenshots it means you have a duplicate theme name, most likely in the SummerBoard themes location. This theme WILL NEVER load and you might as well remove it.

Note 2: Themesets WILL NOT save you WbWeather settings, only the name of the theme you load.

Released soon on Cydia

Change log:
Note: if the version is not listed it was not released.

v0.63
Revised code to auto-update if using any older version of the prefs file. Tweaked and added several more style sheets to the WbWeatherWidget theme (24 total). Added a Transparent StatusBar theme to use along with the weather widget.

v0.61
Added WbWeatherWidget theme and configuration panel. This allows complete configuration of the html weather widget that can be used with WinterBoard. I noticed there was much frustration on the MMi forum and thought that WbApp was the perfect vehicle to provide an end-user tool to properly code the text files. I take NO CREDIT for this cool weather widget, just in providing hopefully an easy to use way for anyone to utilize this functionality.

v0.59
Code clean-up and grammatical corrections. Built and tested for release. Revised defaults; replaced Saurik with Transparent Dock which is in WinterBoard. revised the "+Patch" info panel to reduce confusion on this feature. Revised and updated WbApp info panels.
Please note: If you see TWO themes of the same name listed under the "Active" type, this is an indication that you have duplicate themes, most likely one is a WinterBoard theme and one is a SummerBoard theme. The duplicate (SummerBoard) theme will never load and you should remove it as it's just taking up space :-)

v0.57
Added ThemeSets; themesets allow you to save your active WinterBoard configuration as a "set". This set can then be loaded at the touch of a button anytime you want. Themesets can even be created by using the WinterBoard app to bypass the limitation of nine active theme settings currently in WbApp. The themeset will save all "active" settings displayed in WbApp. I have also added the ability to delete a themeset. This DOES NOT delete ANY themes, merely the listing in the themeset file. This required a revision of the "Info: Prefs" panel, the prefs file and functionality to allow the user to turn off this new feature.

NO, not in its current form. Could someone re-write all the javascript to allow two cities? Perhaps but not me.

Thanks so much CyberGreg your app is becoming awesome

Thanksssssssssssssssssss

For multilpe city it is only posible if you do manually, you have to create one theme with several subtheme. Then duplicate the weather theme (ut only one should be named wallpaper.html) other should be name differently. But that part is for manual so nothing to do with WbApp topic :P

CyberGreg will you add in next version Analog Clock please ? And weather on Top bar ? Also will be nice if you can add an option to let us choose where to place widget, hide show description, etc...

[prince-omar]

Once you see the app you'll see that the location and type of display is all determined by the css stylesheets, for both the LOCK screen and the Wallpaper (HOME screen). These are both selectable (really crappy form layout I know but I wanted it all on one panel, sorry) and you can add your own css stylesheets to the themes Stylesheets (/Library/Themes/WbWeatherWidget.theme/Private/Stylesheets) folder and they will show up in the selector (3rd image in the WbWeather set). There are several Statusbar type css stylesheets already included in the app.


Regarding the clock, if that is accomplished by a css stylesheet, see above If you have to update the javascript files then I'm not sure we'll be messing with them with WbApp. Let me know "how" to add the clock. I've noticed on a few occaisions that html wallpapers can really slow down your device so I think less is more...

Edit: I was actually thinking about two cities and the easiest way is to make two different configureMe.js files and set the Lockbackground.html file to use the second one (like configureMe2.js). Obviously they would not be displayed together but when you go to unlock it "should" list the one from configureMe2.js and then once on the homescreen it "should" display the one from configureMe.js.

Of course this is from an html/js moron that can't even get the weather to work (edit: work correctly that is, I can get the weather to be displayed but as with Time of Day, it doesn't update the wallpaper) with ANY of the other html WinterBoard wallpapers.

Hi mate!
Cool if it´s possible!!?? Can u plz explain a little more details about how to do!? It had been great thx.
For example what do u mean with this: "you have to create one theme with several subtheme"???.....and so on....?

(u can find me in the Weather widget thread too at: http://www.modmyi.com/forums/news/32...ml#post2101551 )

[netuser]

ok give me a minute let me do some tests etc.. and I ll post detail and an example in other thread as I said beofre it will be manual and you wont be able to use WbApp to do the setings. Maybe Author can see my example and add the option in next version.

Follow me on other thread.

Cool! I go there now!! Thx!

Okay, I have these three themes all working properly with WbWeather:
Time of Day
Illuminated
iHour

Meaning you can set and update the WbWeather widget and when you use them they rotate the wallpaper and display the weather.

The last one I'm struggling with is Color Fading theme. I got it to function, it would cycle through the colored wallpapers and it would display the weather icon but the text was like behind the image and would only display very briefly when the wallpapers changed.

I'll clean-up the other three and post them if anyone is interested. I add "Wb" to the name to keep them separate from the original ones.


PS Can someone post a picture of the lock screen and the "HugeBubble" setting? Thanks

Actually, if you are changing the Wallpaper.js and the two weather sources files you WILL still be able to configure it with WbApp; all I do is write out the configureMe.js file. Of course if you wanted this as some sort of toggle switch to turn on/off this analog clock then the app would have to be updated.

[netuser]

You have to edit the CSS file top and left margin , it is not very hard. Just play arround and you ll see it is easy

If you are still not successfull I ll help you. But best way is to learn. Thats what I try to do

I am on work now will wait your feedback on your success :P

Good luck
