**Tissy** · 01-05-2008, 10:00 PM

Just ordered this and its is now on special offer

With the MP3Car discount, it only works out at $21.21. Looking forward to integrating it into RoadRunner now

Looks like i have succedded in embedding DashCommand

Looks pretty good IMO.

Just one thing i would like from DashCommand (if PPE - Brian is viewing) is it possiblt to have another 'option' box which removes the top title and menu bar. If i embed in 'full screen' mode, it doesn't embed properly. So an option to remove the menu and title bar will tidy it up nicely i think since there are no real benefits to having that bar visible.

Cheers.

Tissy,

Awesome! What skin did you embed in to did you try DFX? I would love to give it a shot if you can share?

Thanks

Thanks dmistry !

The base Skin is called Simplistique, however, it has since it was developed some considerable time again, been heavily moddified and built on by me.

What skin are you using and how confident are you about skin building.

More than happy to share what i have done, its what this site is all about.

The other option is that i lay the skin out for you.

For those who know how to skin edit, you will need the following.

Create a skin page with a predefined "Application" area.

Here is an example of such, call it obd.skin

MEDIACAR Skin
MEDIACAR MM Skin
obd_OFF.jpg,obd_OFF.jpg,obd_ON.jpg,obd_DOWN.jpg
/, B, x, y, w, h, Command;COMMANDCODES, Tooltip
B21,1,523,110,79,"CLOSE","Exit"
/, L, x, y, w, h, color R;RGB, G, B, font size;FONT, font name, Code;LABELCODES, Tooltip;LABELALIGNMENT
L01,283,31,74,35,255,102,0,18,"Digital Readout Thick Upright:B","REMAININGTRACKTIME",""
L02,6,31,268,35,255,102,0,18,"Digital Readout Thick Upright:B","/ ||TAGARTIST||= - ||TAGTITLE||=","SCROLL-LEFT"
/, A, x, y, w, h, color R;RGB, G, B
A01,0,81,800,440,000,000,000
/, I, x, y, w, h, Code;INDICATORCODES
/, Y, Back Slider file path
Y01,"\volume_slider\volume_*.jpg"
/, S, x, y, w, h, x1, y1, w1, h1, O, Style, Pointer file path, h2, Code;SLIDERCODES, Tooltip

END

This will give you a basic skin with a close button and also track names etc.

Then, add a button to your main 'menu.skin' and have the 'command' field labelled as:

"LOAD;obd.skin;DashCommand;C:\Program Files\DashCommand\dashcommand.exe;!wxWindowClassNR"

Obvioulsy, the 'C:\Program Files\DashCommand\dashcommand.exe' needs to be where the where YOUR DashCommand exe is stored.

I haven't tried it in the car yet, but see no reason why it won't work.

Hello Tissy,

Is that gauge for FR vs 4wd torque active? Just curious if it can differentiate between individual wheels and not just Front vs. 4WD. I have AWD and would definitely be interested in setting this for my carPc.

Thanks,

**Custommx3** · 01-08-2008, 12:06 PM

Seconded. I have AWD, and power shifts front to back. Also, can the Boost gauge display PSI ?

**dmistry** · 01-08-2008, 12:46 PM

nice I am no good with skinning but hopefully John from DFX will pick up on his thread and throw something together for DFX3

**Tissy** · 01-08-2008, 06:15 PM

dmistry - Hopefully the above code will be of assistance to the skin creator.

mpman & custommx3 - Sorry for the confusion guys, the OBD gauge is an example as provided by PalmerPerformance for DashCommand. The purpose of this post was to show that DashCommand can be integrated. Next stage is to create a DashCommand gauge skin for my purposes.
