Frontends

**forevertheuni** · 01-19-2006, 06:22 AM

Hey..hi guys The questions:
Is there any cool linux frontend ?I've read the topic of frontends..I think there are 2 new ones

it's a petty that headunit project stoped, there was some work done already why can't someone pick it up(I would if I knew how to program qt(gui) and had the time for it I would)! As far as I remember the things that were missing in headunit were custom GPS app embedded window (launch apps by frontend).
The other thing is anyone working with destinator 3(mapmonkey would be great) in wine/cedega/crossover? Probably the answers are in the forum (but I just see threads saying..I'm almost there....)

Silverwolf will do everything you're looking for, except an embedded nav app. The setup is a bit involved, and some things are hardware specific, but it will do (almost) everything you want. I've been using it for over a year now, but of course I'm the author

hi...WE can make our own skins right?Are the skins development easy for now?(sorry didn't like much the screenshots)(silverwolf) after my exams I might try to make some skins and give them to you. is the embedeed app(@ choice or something like it)in the TODO list?

Yes it is fully skinnable by anyone. It uses a large collection of PNG graphic objects. Many of the UI objects are movable and resizable. Some of the graphic objects draw themselves according to a palette specification.

As for an embedded nav system, that will have to wait until one is released (hopefully sometime this year according to e-mails I and a few others have received).

" that will have to wait until one is released" One nav system? Wich one is supposed to be released this year?There is infomap navigator that have linux support(I'm european) so a nav system of US/Canada is no use for me

. Is there any way to embedd vmware?Oh i've just heard about tried os destinator to be wine'd what about iguidance?

I tried to use the package in the pycar iso: I have this :
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "pycar.py", line 251, in ?

With cvs it's even worst(in the previous I got a blue screen with loading for a split of second)

do you have all the python modules that pycar imports?

**forevertheuni** · 01-24-2006, 06:03 AM

I have all of the ones listed in pycar webpage

pygame,pymedia,pyrxp

We can't compile pycar manually? If I try to do it it asks for p2exe(I think that's for windows)

**TheLlama** · 01-24-2006, 10:03 AM

Why do you have to compile it? You should just be able to install python and have it interpreted. (I haven't used PyCar, but I've done my share of python coding)
