To do this go to Options/Applications/highlight "BBWeather" and hit menu/disable compatibility mode.

Options > Advanced > Applications > BBWeather... etc.

I downloaded it using my Browser and this link
"ww.tateu.net/software/bb.php?f=BBWeather_alpha"
and when I clock on the BB Weather icon under my downloads after its done it starts with the keyboard up and unlike other apps it doesnt give me the option to hide the keyboard. It also is buggy when trying to click on the screen somewhere. You have to click lower or scroll lower than where you actually are trying to click. And it only shows in portrait mode, will not show in landscape. I am running the .75 OS on the 9530 Storm through Verizon. Could that be an issue? Thanks...

You need to add a location.

you have to go into the application, hit menu, go into options and add a profile. Without a location profile... the application has no info to display.

And since you're going to ask... when you're creating a location profile... the app will ask for a location ID... The location ID will be a 8 digit code that www.weather.com uses for your city.

go to www.weather.com and put in your city, state.

Once weather.com brings up your weather... look in the address field of your browser and look for a 8 digit code... Cambridge, MA is USMA0066.

Once you have your location ID and have created a profile... BBWeather should work just fine.

To the user looking to add a profile, just left button click to add.

I also just put in the zip code...this is a lot easier...especially when you are traveling.

Now if I have three cities in there, how do I set the default for whenever I activate the application?

I do not have it updating the icon on the screen. This is just for when I want to quickly look up the weather forecast.

Thanks!

It's there. When you're in the app go to menu/options/menu/add.

Rather than pressing Menu > Forecast, etc.

Something I was hoping to avoid but I guess I will have to look into maintaining different sets of code for different devices. I just recently added several keyboard shortcuts but neglected to think about how they would work (or not work as the case may be) on the Storm and non fullsize keyboards.

For the Storm, maybe a row of buttons along the bottom (2 buttons to take you to the other weather screens and another to allow you to switch Locations)? And an option to hide or show this button row?

Or just type your city into the BBWeather LocationID field and then choose the menu option to lookup the LocationID.

It always opens with the same location that it was on when you closed it.

From the text file referenced in Tateu's first post:

* On Qwerty devices: added new shortcut commands to open weather screens
Current Conditions = Alt-c
Forecast = Alt-f
Hourly = Alt-h

Not buttons, but shortcuts are easier than menu>forecast, etc...

Also, as in the currently released version, space bar toggles between Forecast and Current screens. Perhaps the Hourly screen could be added to that "rotation", e.g.: Current -> Forecast -> Hourly, advancing one screen with each press of the space bar...

OK...-6 is perfect for that...
What is the "horizontal scroll" issue? I've had BBWeather on my curve for years, and JUST put it on my storm coupla days ago...so I'm "unaware"...

Thanks

thanks a bunch...that took care of it...much better on the clicking...resolved both issues...i appreciate the advice and the app...

The icon temp is not agreeing with the rollover temp on the home screen. Going into the app and pushing Update Now does not change it. When I change cities, the icon shows the correct temp but the rollover summary does not change. Changing the font seemed to update the rollover data, but when I changed the city again the data does not change.

Thanks! I'll open my eyes next time!

Pretty nifty program, I've install this side by side with WeatherBug Direct, it's just as accurate.

I do have a question when I roll over the icon it says "52F Fair, h, 8:35p 2/23/09" I know when everything stands for except the " h," what does it stand for exactly?

Does this program deliver any severe weather alerts?

[tateu]

The single letter ('h' in your case) on the homescreen icon description is the shortcut key assigned to the active profile. I wanted someway to know which Location was currently being displayed and this was the only way I could think of to do it, since space is very limited and the Description (city, state) and LocationID (zip code) seemed too long to fit.

It appears that there is a small bug where the app allows you to assign the same shortcut key to multiple profiles.
