Is there a skin guide available yet And is it possible to use a different se of icons like the ones here

Can I just replace the standard iconset. Put the new set on a storage card and use the "skin" tab to use the new iconset?

thanks

meanwile I place a whole directory with new icons into the skin directory. But I can't see, thus not select them in "skins","forcasticons" I think this is because the new iconset is .png Can they only be .gif? If so are you gonna extend this so .png or .jpg can be used without converting, Mike?

No.



Just add a new folder to "Weather Watcher\Skins\Icons". Then, select the folder name in the "Skins" tab of the Weather Watcher Options.



You can only use GIF images. I will add other image formats to an upcoming release.

I converted the png to gif
I put the whole dir in the skin dir

But it doesn't work. I can't see the new icons in "Options, skins","forcast icons" It was and stays empty.

What is the path to your folder (e.g. "Program Files\Weather Watcher\Skins\Icons\NY Times")?

standard as in the above

krab, the following build should resolve this issue:

Yeah, worked. Thanks Mike.

krab, the following build will allow you to use non-GIF icons. You can use any icons that can be displayed in Pocket IE (GIF, JPG, PNG, etc.).

OK thanks.

Ok Mike. It worked that last version 1.02C.Tested with some new icons.

Mike. What is the max. size of the icons?

thanks

How big is your screen?

The code limits the widths to 52 and 31 so it's more a question of how much storage space do you have and what do the images look like reduced in size.

The Current view sets the icon to 52 x 52 pixels. The Daily and Hourly views set the icons to 31 x 31 pixels. You would have to adjust the skin file to inccrease the size of the images.

As EdP pointed out, there is not much screen realestate to work with... hence the set smaller size.

I use the standaard size (32*27 pixels) QVGA set . First set of the QVGA sets of four on the above, 1st post mentioned link.

The left icon on the below picture looks "weird" as yopu can see. It l;ooks streched out. The right icons look a little small but good.



It suppose to look like the ones on the right. Basically this was just a try out to see if the other formats worked.btw my screen is QVGA so 240*320

krab, where can I get that icon set from? I'd like to try it out on my phone.

Really!! There is no HEIGHT option specified for the icons only the WIDTH parm. And it appears to work ok for square icons.
