**pRoFiT** · 11-27-2005, 02:26 AM

I really don't have much time to work on a kitt skin. I really have another big project that I need to finish by December 10th. And i've really been slacking on it. With the million other things I need to do for my carputer i dont see me having time to finish a KITT skin. I would love to do it, i want one myself, just not enough experience in skinning. That said........I found this for a cool background. And i added some basic buttons to see how it looks. Like i said real busy with other things

First image sucked this ones better. Edit: oh yah RoadRunner

I started working on something KITT based to work with Mediaengine, it works but still needs some tidying up/tweaking - Have put a zip file here with all the buttons etc if anyone wants to have a play about with them. I just haven't got the time at the mo' , but if I can I'll try to do some more myself.
Skin's called E.M.M.A (Electronic Multi-Media Assistant)

Ps, pRoFiT: Would be really cool if you could do a winamp plugin along the lines of the voice box scan bar as shown in my skin, there's a flash file in the zip that I started if you want to play about with it. Would it be possible to have it pulse (talk) to the beat of the music? I wouldn't know where to start!!

I don't think anyone should be allowed to use this skin unless their ride is a mid-80s black Firebird, preferrably a Trans Am.

How about a '92 Formula?

I'd love a skin like this, when I start the PC for the 'Bird.

I hate to shoot this down, but am I the only one who finds the voice box to be an enormous waste of screen space?

**pRoFiT** · 11-30-2005, 03:42 PM

Yes!

Its a classic 80's show. You can't design a kitt skin without the voicebox. Maybe make it smaller. Or dont put it in the main screen but the visualizer should show the voicebox when music is playing.

**nibbles** · 11-30-2005, 06:23 PM

yes,but thats what I love about it - keeps things simple on the mainscreen, less to distract me while driving. To be fair, how long would the mainscreen actually be showing in Media Engine? Only as long as it takes to decide if you want to select DVD, MP3 or radio.
But the voicebox as vizualiser during playback would be cool if anyone with experience of writing winamp plugins can meet the challenge?????

I know KITT

, thats why I hate to shoot it down. Maybe you can make it go behind stuff when there is alot to show on the screen? IMHO, If I used a TS I would want every inch^2 of it to be functional.
