spaniard -> Dude that BMW skin is sick! As soon as your done with it, I want it to post on my site. Unfortunately the font type is hard coded, but Im going to see about changing that in the next release.

Thanks!!, i think it is coming along pretty well. about 45% done now, this stuff is time consuming! lol, i'll definately let you know when its finished and i would be happy to let you put it on your site. I'll provide a psd file of a blank logo so people could change the bmw logo to something else if they please.

hey reddeath, if you changed something like editable font in the next release do you think it would have a huge effect on the design. I would really like to take advantage of theeditable font but don't want to have to redesign the layout once its done =)

Thanks,

installed your software on my home pc and lovin it so far, great job on the software! can't wait to install it on my car pc!

i wrote up a howto on making skins, if anyone wants it pm me and i'll send it to you.

What happened with this skin? The post is from August so I'd guess the skin is done or the guy just gave up on it?

I would only set up the font type to be changed, but the size would remian the same as some of the code relies on it. So I dont think it would affect your design at all.

Well, I posted another thread titled "Skins", I should probably delete it, but anyway, Who wants to share thier skins? Im still working on some and as soon as they are done Im giving them to Reddeath, Its been a while since anyone posted on this thread, so Im wondering if people are still involved with skins!

Updating my Skin. However, I cant get rid of the Logo in the middle of the screen. Is that Hard coded into it?
Ive also got the buttons a bit off, but thats an easy fix....

redeath30, is there any source images for your skin files that can be opened within photoshop or something else that uses layers so I can properly adjust the hue of the buttons without affecting the rest of the images, and then just save a flat image when im satisifed with the final color? Im trying to match the stock colors of the WRX interior lighting scheme (a pale dimmer version of green than the one you have made), and having a hard time doing so with the flat images included with the skin packs.

Right now i am using the red one since it seems to work best (my car is red) but i would ideally like to end up with something that looks as "stock" as possible.

Another idea, if your not comfortable sharing that much information, maybe you can send me a "sample" button i could work with in photoshop, get the color as close as i can for the on and off modes, and you could compile another new color skin with the color values that i come up with? I don't know just how many subaru guys are on here, but im sure there are enough that would appreciate this extra color being available.

Alright, got a bit of an issue. Ive got my skin that Im trying to make. But now, no matter what skin I use, I have no visualizations and the music will hang or loop about 2 seconds after it starts. Then I get the windows error to send or dont send the report of problem. Now, while that error window is open, the music will continue fine. I click that and MI closes.
Any ideas?
