Could you please post the wallpaper?
It has been shared in the latest page of the iPhone Screenshot thread. You'd better head to it ;)

Check out the Post Your Springboard thread.

I'm tired of the sporadic updating on the SpringBoard vs the LockScreen and was wondering is the issue related to WinterBoard or your Script?

It's because of Winterboard reloading the LockScreen only when it's locked. The new unreleased version solves this (Except for... I'll get back to that in a sec.)
Essentially the new version uses Wallpaper.html to start a javascript which fetchs weather data in the background as it were and stores it (either in a database or cookies) . Wallpaper.html and LockBackground.html then poll the database/cookies and update the HTML appropriately.

I don't understand the question about 'Where are the cookies stored?'

I have hit another wall. Cookies don't seem to work for local files in MobileSafari. They do in Safari and (obviously) cookies otherwise work in MobileSafari. I'll further confirm its not MobileSafari being picky about my script, but I think I'm stuck again. This is really beginning to irritate me, if it helps...

(Here's my little table of being pissed off if anyone wants to keep track:
Code: Select all
| Storage                    | Safari (Mac OS X) | MobileSafari |   Winterboard  |
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| HTML5 Client-side Database |     Yes           |   Yes, cool  |    No.         |
| Cookies for online files   |     Duh           |     Duh      |   Who cares?   |   
| Cookies for local files    |   Certainly       |   HAHAHAHA   | Give up, loser |

Now how the hell would I go about this?

Current css:

Code: Select all
/* Inspired by 'Jimmy' of the MacThemes forums */

#WeatherContainer{
   opacity:1;
   margin-top:300px;
   width:100%;
   background-color:#aaa;
   color:white;

}
#TextContainer, #weatherIcon{
   background-color: rgba(0,0,0,0.37);
   -webkit-border-radius:10px;
   opacity:1;

}
#TextContainer{
   float:left;
   padding: 5px 5px 5px 145px;
   margin: 0 10px 20px -20px;
   font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif;
   text-shadow: rgba(0,0,0,0.7) 0 0 2px;
}

#city{
   text-transform:capitalize;
   font-weight:bold;

}

#TextContainer p{
   padding:0;
   margin:0;
}

#desc{
   text-transform:capitalize;
   display:none;
}

#weatherIcon{
   height:50px;
   width:50px;
   float:right;
   border:white;
   padding: 10px 25px 5px 5px;
   margin: 0 -20px 0 10px;
}

I seen another update today on Cydia but not sure what it was, was it a fix for this? I'm having a hard time getting my springboard to load and when I'm making icons I cannot test them since it's having such a hard time loading the images (the unlock screen always works but again I cannot see the images correctly to test them on the lockscreen as well as the springboard since the dock and icons are not visible.

Doreen now that is nice!
I can already see an analog clock hanging on the wall ;D
And maybe a user pic in a picture frame.
Also if I think about it, a thermometer for the temperature! :lol:
This thread gives so many thrilling ideas! :thumbsup:

No, it's not. The descriptions are supplied from the server. Find a German-language data source.
Well the latest Winterboard release does cause using Client-side databases to no longer cycle-crash Springboard. But they still don't work.
Great release, thanks a lot :D

edit: requested localization, until I saw somebody else already did.

However, maybe a possible mod:
One could make custom .png's looking like localized descriptions :)

Zetetic Apparatchik were you able to look at my files ?

Doreen you did a fantastic job, did you put transparent webclip on first webpage ?

Zetetic Apparatchik.. Thanx for answering..

For sure there does not exist any German language Source... Thats why i asked for localization..

But it should be possible to write a function that replaces the fetched description with the German ones? (If desc = "sunny" then desc ="sonnig" ....)
We know the possible variables for description I could do the translations for them if you code the function.

Thanx again and sorry if I am a pain in your neck withnthis stuff...

Q.
You speak good english why translating it :P
;-) because I am same kind of wired gui-nerd you are ;-) trying to customize even the hell like we want it to look like...

As I am writing this I found another weather source... with German descriptions:

http://www.wetter24.de/de/home/wetter/w ... ID=49X2816

So we have two options now...

I too would looove this mod. :)

Just like QUIZASERAQ is willing to provide German translations, I could provide Dutch and French ones.

No you don't. j/k :)

Enabling localization would be an asset to everyone around the globe, not just people with German as their native language. :)

I got the merging of the clock and weather widgets where is the wallpaper.html

just look in the code to see where to place stuff you will also need to edit the placements of the clock as i haven't done that yet.

Image

Code: Select all
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-16"?>
<html><head>
    <base href="Subthemes/"/>
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"/>
   
   <script type="text/javascript" src="ClockWidgetcoolclock.js"/>
   <script type="text/javascript" src="ClockWidgetmoreskins.js"/>
   
    <style>
        body {
            background-color: none;
            margin: 0;
            padding: 20px 0 0 0;
            height: 480px;
            width: 320px;
        }

        canvas {
            position: absolute;
      margin-top:240px;
      margin-left:108px;
        }

        object {
            position:static;
            top:0;
            left:0;
        }
    </style>

<body>

   <canvas id="clockid" class="CoolClock:machine:50:"></canvas>

    <object data="WeatherWidget/WeatherWidget.html"  type="text/html" height="480" width="320">
       <p>Place WeatherWidget in Subthemes</p>
    </object>

</body></html>

OK this is my final position of the Clock think it looks quite nice.

Nope all I'm doing is making a wooden window frame w/ a transparent window and placing the different night and day weather instances behind the frame and saving the wallpapers as "icons" then they cycle out throughout the day and night and it looks like I have a window on my phone.

I gave up the animated weather icons since WinterBoard has limatations as to the number of frames it can handle so some ani's stop animating at a certain frame limit. But the weather painted on day and night wallpapers is working much better. I'll release the Window Frame Weather Icons when I'm done.

I'm having alot of fun w/ this and you guys are being really creative (I love looking at what you guys are doing too)
I've decided to do the icon set like this that way the dock can be switched out and the weather info can display on the wallpaper rather than ontop of the window frame. I'll try to complete the set tonight if I can...

Image

The biggest problem I'm having right now and the reason I can't knock off this set in an hour is cuz the weather will not update on my Springboard so I can test the diff icons out and I'm getting frustrated. Plus if I could mix the set of file extension formats in the icon folder I can animate atleast some of the icons since WinterBoard will run small animations so I can get the sun to animate in the window (which is a .gif) and that one is only 3 frames and the night time moon can be static in the window w/ stars (which is a .png)

And you sir. Are correct.
very nice themes in here. Does anyone know how to color a specific letter in the city name? I want to color the 1st letter a different color than the rest of the name.

anyway, here is mine

Where there is a will there is a way: If it can't be done the right way you could cheat by setting the city name values to "transparent" and then on the wallpaper you could "paint" the city name in the proper position on the wallpaper where the transparent city name lays. =)
