Horizontal bar

[roeroe]

Is it possible by modified some xml file to bring the weather forecast
to the horizontal bar instead of put it under Accessories?

Sure. Home.xml is the file to edit. There's a section called "main menu" which has 6 buttons. You could add a seventh one and make that open the weather forecast. Just look through the code, shouldn't be too difficult :)

For those who want to do the same thing copy and paste this in your home.xml
in the main menu section

<control type="button" id="7">
<description>Weather Button</description>
<label>Weather</label>
<posx>535</posx>
<posy>0</posy>
<width>100</width>
<height>44</height>
<onleft>5</onleft>
<onright>6</onright>
<onup>1</onup>
<ondown>2</ondown>
<texturefocus>default-button.png</texturefocus>
<texturenofocus>-</texturenofocus>
<font>menubar</font>
<textcolor>button-text</textcolor>
<aligny>-</aligny>
<align>center</align>
<textoffsety>1</textoffsety>
<onclick>ActivateWindow(2600)</onclick>
</control>

I alpha 6c this seems to work best:

<control type="button" id="8">
<description>Weather Button</description>
<label>Weather</label>
<posx>680</posx>
<posy>0</posy>
<width>140</width>
<height>44</height>
<onleft>5</onleft>
<onright>6</onright>
<onup>1</onup>
<ondown>2</ondown>
<onclick>ActivateWindow(2600)</onclick>
<include>menubarButton</include>
</control>


Note, I needed to identify this as "8" instead of as "7" like in the previous example, since "7" is now the DVD disc.

The best skin so far is Focus! keepup the good work.

I have tried both the codes in home.xml. I am able to get the Weather button on the horizontal bar. But it is not getting selected, so I am not able to click it.

Any help would be great.
