Yes I still use WinMo 6.5, ninety percent of my time. So I wanted to try a weather widget for my personal use of all the great stuff already made for UCCW in my beloved WinMo + Co0kie Home Tab 2.0.
The target is to use all the icon files we all already have in our \SD\UltimateCustomClockWidget\weather\ in the
home tab of HTC Sense 2.5. Something simple. I have not created any of the code, just use some lines already done by
Co0kie Master and
Genius rat_2665. I am not taking any credit of this widget, all credits & thanks goes to them, also to
vineetksirohi for the incredible UCCW source of inspiration which make possible great creations in our devices, also credit to all the creators of the weather files so nice, and credit to
JMHL for JMLMenuSense 1.65 used in this widget to easily select the folder where the files are stored, instead to do it through registry.
Installation
Install CHTwPoy9weather_v1.cab in device. Once activated it will display a blank box, just press on it to open the setting menu and select the folder where the weather icons are stored, save and exit and enjoy. Additionally can be displayed the temperature and weather condition, with the possibility to change the text font, color, size and position. The widget does not include any weather icon, so you need first to have them in your SD. Many can be
found in XDA.
For uninstall be sure you have near the file 6639bcc4_manila (inside the zip attached) you may need to copy back to windows folder for CHT to work again.
How it works
I really dont think is many CHT users out there (any!?) so I make this very simple for my personal needs. The file
weatherforhome.lua has been edited to write the temperature & condition in the registry, so the widget can later read it and display it. The widget does not contain any weather library, self update, etc, just use the existing information in HTC Sense weather tab.
About the selection of the folder with the UCCW weather icons, the version of JMLMenuSense I use cannot choose folders, so I choose the .png file and manually delete the file and leave the path with a \ at the end.
Once selected the folder it will automatically change to night icons after 21:00h and day icons after 9:00h.
This widget is working in my Leo + WM65 + CHT2.0 + CHTtweaks. It has not been deeply tested but it may work in your device as far as it can have HTCSense 2.5 + CHT2.0. If there is any body out there who wants to try I am here to help.
