Sure I can. I assume this can simply be exported from ResHack then?

I tried messing around with the OSK and this works but has a few bugs...i dont know how to change the color of the font on a button? Change it from white to black and were money! But the only thing is when you press the button you get little black line across the button...but if you press it again or drag another window over it...it goes away. Some glitch that we cant fix..But only the numbers and letters do it...the "X" and "Search" and "<-" are fine...they dont have the glitch...Check out the images to see what i mean..

Don't bother messing with the OSK buttons. The original BLUE button image is actually used in several places throughout the app. If you change it, it will have an affect over some other screens that might not look right. Regardless, you cannot change the SIZE of the buttons, so that sucks

ALso, the strange effect you are seeing, is because the program will look for a specific pixel color (I think top right pixel) and use that as transparency for the button once placed. You would need to assign that pixel a specific color, and not use it anywhere else on the button image (except where you want transparency). Also, depending on the image, iGuidance might always assign white as the transparent color, or in some cases it is the top left/right pixel.

OK, I have finished!

Check the first page to see updates images throughout...

Also, here is the new POI window with new icons, I like these better. Which do you prefer, this one, or the one below?

NOTE: This looks a lot better with the BLUE skin instead of the orange... oh well. I might change the coloring of the signs for the amber version to match better.

That doesnt make sense because im seeing a black line...and there isnt any black in the image i replaced it with...and it only happens on the mouse down event....but if you simply drag another window or open up a program over it it goes away...and if you figure out a way to change the text from white to black that would be awsome...i didnt see any color values....it would look so much better then the rainbow buttons...

I love the ones you had before! Think the color icons make the program look very catchy...the icons fit the decription very well...i think you should stick with the old ones...well i hope u do...

**justintime** · 10-17-2005, 01:54 PM

I really think I will stick with the new ones though... ONLY for that menu though. The icons are now bigger throughout.

**m2x0p9x** · 10-17-2005, 02:01 PM

Could you email me all the icons you used before...vdubskey@yahoo.com or link where you got them...they look like the KDE icon set but not sure...i will put them in myself...

Alright, heres a barebones igmod with the osk:

http://igmod.iamjeremy.com/igmodosk.rar

In the skin.ini, the lines that say:

Code:

TRIGGER "Enter Street Name" AUTOPOI null AutoPOIOSK null

add another line just like it with the OSK you want to skin in the quotes.

Code:

  BUTTON 
   IMAGE "\images\CfButtonNew.bmp" "\images\CfButtonNewDown.bmp"
    ANCHOR TL
    XMOD 30
    YMOD 490
    IN_IMAGE_CAPTION "Back"
    XCAPTION 68
    YCAPTION 23
    FONT Xirod
    FONTCOLOR 0 21 179
    FONTSIZE 10
    ACTION
     HIDE_MENU_ME
     KEYSMENU "{PoiMenuHeader}" E
  END_BUTTON
  BUTTON 
   IMAGE "\images\CfButtonNewNext.bmp" "\images\CfButtonNewDown.bmp"
    ANCHOR TL
    XMOD 570
    YMOD 490
    IN_IMAGE_CAPTION "Next"
    XCAPTION 54
    YCAPTION 24
    FONT Xirod
    FONTCOLOR 0 21 179
    FONTSIZE 10
    ACTION
     HIDE_MENU_ME
     KEYSMENU "{PoiMenuHeader}" X
  END_BUTTON

Those are the back and next buttons, you can replace them with your own images. xmod and ymod is the coordinates on the osk. Everything else should be self explanitory.

To embedd in CF/rr, set the window title to "_iGmod_". If you change the splash screen, make pixel 0,0 set to the color you want the background stretched out with.
