Now I cant find where i can change the text color of the song playing, not the one at the playlist, but the one at the top, with the larger font, and its yellow.

Take a look for the lines marked L in the skin file, and the ones you will want to change are TRACKNUMBER and TRACKNAME Change the RGB values for those to change their colours

Just want to let you know that I've uploaded templates for Coredraw v.10 at http://www.my105e.com/febsperanza/Co...oreldraw10.zip

I've also uploaded Photoshop templates for 800x480 brushed metal at http://www.my105e.com/febsperanza/Ph...etched800x600/ Remember, this is at 800x480. After you've played around with the psd files, you have to stretch it to 800x600 and save it as jpegs so it will show up at the correct ratio on your monitor. If you just stumbled across this thread and you have no idea what I'm talking about please look at this thread "Stretched" 800x600 MediaCar F-CNS skin available

I've done this rather quickly, however. Being Valentine's day weekend and all, I am pretty busy day and night So if I made any mistakes please let me know 'kay?

Cheers!

I found another volvo logo, heres the pdf.

Else, try removing your Environment.ini and Settings.ini and re-do Setup and try again

Has anyone noticed when the Volume+ button is pushed in the main menu screen you get the Lighting/Skin/Cancel menu or is this just me?

That is my doing

As MediaCar doesn't yet control volume from the main screen, and there was no skin/appearance menu button, I set the Volume+ button to bring up that menu.

I didn't want to have to keep going into Setup to change the skins
