I have been out of the game for quiet sometime now, my Blue Angel broke, I've just bought a new one (from the money generated from ads of my blog) plus my sister gave me two vga phones (Touch Pro and Touch Diamond) as my Christmas gift last December.
I'm sorry for my leave of absences.

Hm... Where is a download link ?

 

[+ Que PPC]

I think he is working at this develops

See his siggy it shos currently develop the weather plugin jeje

Nice men! keep the good work!

 

[Mnemonique]

Thanks...

Here's another update using xplode's rom chome.dll

I've moved the notifications above the time on this one.

also widen the selection bar in home.

 

[April 1]

If you select Favorites tab, you will find top portion empty whereas many bottom tabs get hidden. Wont it be better from user points of view that bottom hidden tabs scroll up and appear on top when you select 'favorite' tab.

Is it difficult to achieve? Do we need to change the basic engine which displays tabs? Why cant M$ think of such idea to make it like a circular conveyor belt rather than making a sheet of paper?

 

[+ Que PPC]

easy easy!

take it easy men... would you wanna make a war?
It is just like that... jeje Better ideas arent our ideas always... maybe this is cheaper than continous conveyor as you say... maybe they will change it later.

 

[Mnemonique]

Have almost completed editing the files, and then the build zz169 came out.

will be posting the modified files of both zz159 and zz169 including cmhome.dll of both builds.

 

[+ Que PPC]

A suggestion...

Can yo leave the center bar in full transparent well not full cause it has a little white, but in new build the center bar for titanium is a little darker than th XX159 build.

Could this be posible? If you need to edit the bar i dont know if you use the Photo-shop but Homan France can do a great job with that.

 

[myteematt]

holding off until......

Fantastic work firstly, but I am going to flash a newer 6.5 rom as soon as I see this is released. Are there any beta tester openings or preview releases (hint hint)

 

[Mnemonique]

latest updates...

Sorry for the delay, I'm a bit busy with web designing and server migration.

 

[homam_france]

I can't add the cities database but, feel free to browse at the accuweather site for your respective cities. (I've found mine, [Asia, Philippines, Cebu] there...)

thanks for that homam_france,

be advised that this is not my own work, my mere contribution is the porting of the titanium cpr files to (qvga) screen size.

I'll be playing around the graphics used, to make it appear clearer in our screen.

 

[homam_france]

if u need help in graphics i have good experience in that domain.
i will help u if u need

 

[homam_france]

hi
where is ur project?
did u finish it or leave it?

 

[Mnemonique]

I have to place the porting to a halt, due to the rapid releases of wm6.5 builds, while I'm still in the stage of testing, a new build comes out, and most of the time it messes the cmhome.dll or the titanium.cpr file.

I'm still committed to complete the porting though.

 

[LivinOne]

Can you post what you have working?

thx

 

[Mnemonique]

Be uploading a CAB for qvga... as soon as showaco, main author of TitaniumWeather, will agree if I can modify his cab and upload one for qvga screens.

QVGA Customization includes:

"Updated last on : %time%" to "As of: %time%"

and other minor changes in text.

Next Attempt:

I'm planning to replaced the png's used in high / low digits with ordinary text as it looks better on smaller screens.
