theme2.ini is an advanced settings file. As I understand you rename it theme.ini and use it instead of the other theme.ini. It changes other appearances on the map. Can anyone back me up with more info?

I just wish there was a way to change the size of the menu buttons... I have to use a stylus in my car because of how small the iguidance buttons and menus are... I saw someone who was able to make them any size he wanted at the last meet I went to. The just used a resource editor to open up the exe, extract the bitmaps from it... then chagned there size and put them back in... They had tripled the size of the zoom buttons and it looked awesome, but I haven't had time to try it yet...

EDIT: Just went and downloaded Resource Hacker from

http://www.users.on.net/johnson/resourcehacker/

Use that program to open up the iGuidance.exe and under Bitmap you will see all the buttons.. Now someone just needs to make a larger button, import them all into the iGuidance.exe, and re-save it out...

You can change just about everything through this program... Street and Highway icons, Whats displayed in the file menu, what the hotkeys are, all the icons, you name it... I haven't actually changed and saved anything back out yet, but I know it should work because I saw it running modified in someones car...

Anyone downloaded from the INAV link?
Does this file include the additional information for the appearances on the map?

i was messing a little with the resource hacker. here it is with 300 % bigger zoom buttons:
Someone figure out a way on how to move the positions around.

heres a before shot so you can see how small the buttons were:

It appears that it is centering the image. So make another image that is twice as tall as the one you are using now... Make it transparent and then place your new button at the top of your new tall image... This way it will visually raise the button on the screen because of the empty space below the button... It might work...
