ITWorx Prayer Times Hot Fixes

Hi all,

There have been some complaints and questions about the prayer times gadget and I’m here to tell you that we are working on a new release Insha’a Allah that will include many bug fixes and new features.

But in the mean time I would like to tell you about some hacks that you can do

Remember : after any change please close the gadget and open it again for the changes to take affect

• To fix the Athan sound

Open the folder %userprofile%/AppData/Local/MicrosoftWindows Sidebar/Gadgets/ITWorxPrayerTimes.gadget/sound and you will find Athan123.wav, just replace this file with any wave file you like but it will still be loud so try to put a wave file with low volume. (Don’t worry the volume will be fixed)

• To fix the cities

Open the folder %userprofile%/AppData/Local/Microsoft/Windows Sidebar/Gadgets/ITWorxPrayerTimes.gadget and you will find data.xml, this is where we store all the cities, all you need is a text editor and you will be able to add any city you like

To add a city:

here is the format

<Country id=”" name=”" city=”" latitude=”" longitude=”" gmt=”" daylight=”" method=”"/>

id: insert the next id in the list (not important what number you put)

name: insert the country name

latitude: your new cities latitude in the formate D M [N/S]

D is degrees, M is minutes and [N/S] means north or south

eg. Egypt, Cairo is “30 8 N”; 30 Degrees 8 minutes North; please remember to leave the spaces between them

longitude: your new cities longitude in the formate D M [E/W]

D is degrees, M is minutes and [E/W] means east or west

eg. Egypt, Cairo is “31 24 E”; 31 Degrees 24 minutes East; also please remember to leave the spaces between them

gmt: is simply you timezone, eg “0″, “2″,”-3″ or “-7″

daylight: is if daylight is enabled or not, eg “Y” or “N”

method: this is asr calculation method you use and its a number from 0-4

“0″ means Egyptian General Authority of Survey

“1″ means Islamic Society of North America

“2″ means Umm Al-Qura University

“3″ means University Of Islamic Sciences, Karachi

“4″ means Muslim World League

I hope that this can help until the new version is released

Thank you
