Starting to look freaking awesome!!! as soon as im back working with carpc i will give it a spin....

BTW i was just thinking how about if JIT and Mercury7 would convert their skins for centrafree... errr... freeway... since it has static menu, which some of us, including me, missed so badly.

Come on guys lets try to persuade them...

Link me to their skins. I'll see what I can do.

Albeit, these are bad examples, but it still gives you an idea of how flexible this is going to be. Each form is going to start out as nothing, and it's up to the skin files to create the form and place all the buttons, labels, etc. on them.

Let me know what you guys think of this idea.

That is exactly what NMC implemented and it worked very nicely! Maybe create a skinning app (NMC has a very nice one too)...

There must have been about 50 %(@*$! labels on this form...but it's finally skinnable!

If I can use an image for the selection highlight behind the selected song in the media page, I'll port Polaris.

I like this project. It will be a good, lightweight solution.

I am also an advocate for a skinning app -- especially with the "global buttons" design.

Okay, I'll start working on implementing that. It's great to see veteran skinners interested in porting for Freeway.

Let me know if there's anything else I can do to make skin-making easier.

You are amazing my friend! I'll be glad to do some skinning work when everything starts getting a little more functional. You're doing a great job with the graphics, though!
