   I am not sure this will help or not, but you can give a try an dlet me know.

   Go to the skin and find this code near the top:

"initvar,var51,1   //Sat & Radar Albumansicht"

comment out this code by putting "//" like this:

"//initvar,var51,1   //Sat & Radar Albumansicht " then try the skin in your build-in storage again.

If it works, then I will show you how change this var.

I commented out the lines and it loaded up. I'm amazed. Can you explain what you just did?

Thanks,

Ok, this was partial of my fault.  While ago, I did a research to look for additional new vars that can be used in TP.  There was only 0-33 can be used at that time.  So I did some work and found some.  It turned out some of them will have wired "side-effect" to the skin.  var51 is one of them.   It has caused the same problem in Spanish OS.  Oddly, it only happened to new PPC (hx4700, X50v).  

Any way, search all the var51 and replace with var2.  var 2 is used in RSS section.  Since RSS section and radar section will not exist at the same time, you can use var2 in both section.  var2 will be reset to "1" once you enter the rss section.  You also need to add that code in the region 1 where "if,region,3,0" codes are.  See below, just add blue ones in the skin.

if,region,3,0
      imagebutton,422,64,wetterbutton_grau.png,t,3,4,0,1
      button,422,64,58,58,-1,6,var9=1
               button,422,64,58,58,-1,6,var2=1
      button,422,64,58,58,7,4,999
      button,422,64,58,58,8,4,999

   else
      imagebutton,422,64,wetterbutton.png,t,3,4,0,1
      button,422,64,58,58,-1,6,var9=1
               button,422,64,58,58,-1,6,var2=1
      button,422,64,58,58,2,4,999
      button,422,64,58,58,5,4,999

Hi everyone,
I got next problem:
when I'm accessing weather tab I got console message:
21 ---   no transit this day
If I close this window my pocket is reseting. If I will leave this message and just switch to main page - I see weather tab - data is correct.
I made clear buffer - same thing.
I've removed last SW I installed (super WABA) - same thing.
What is wrong with my Pocket or Today plus?

My opinion is, you have found a bug in TodayPlus. The text "no transit this day"
is given from the mooncalculation. It is possible that a moonrise or
moonset does not occur relative to a specific place on a given date.

As that is really rare, I'm sure, nobody did notice that before. I don't
know a solution for this problem, but I'm sure, it is gone latest tomorrow.

Hi, just downloaded the skin and installed it, LOVE it. Two questions;

1. I don't have the radar and stock folders. Screen is blank when these two buttons are clicked. Did I download an incomplete version, or is there a separate download for radar.exe, etc?

2. I need to change the font, especially the ones with shadows, they look fuzzy against the background. Hope someone can tell me which section of skin file I should edit.

Thnx a million!

1. Have you copied the Radar, Radar1 and Stocks folders on your Device ?

2. where is the Problem ?, give us a screenshot !

[tonyaross]

Thx, Wichtel, the file that I downloaded was "TodayPlus_ppcwelt_engl" and it does not have radar, radar1 or stock folders. That's why I was wondering whether there's a separate dowload to get these folders. Could you post a link here? Thx

As for the second problem, I will load a screen shot soon.

Also, I don't have any weather icons showing. I have the "stardock" as a subfolder in the "Weather Icons" folder. Am I doing this right or should I change the path?

Thx!

[tonyaross]

Never mind, I got the font problem fixed. I still have problems with radar. I found the necessary files and put them in the place where they ought to be:

radar in the Images folder
radar1 in the Images folder
radar in My Doc folder
radar.txt in My Doc folder

I still can't get it work. I have the indicators showing at the bottom of the screen, but no images.
