Thread: Highway Skin

raise those icons and i think you have the best skin for OM so far

That's a very good looking skin. I agree with the above post.

try to make the black area around the icons translucent. I think seeing more of the background would show it off better. Looks good so far

i partially disagree(i like seeing the background, but need to see the buttons more)-- by keeping the black/darker area there, the wording, and icons stand out more, making everything easier to see by those of us with cheap screens .

justchat/ws6vert: what about a opacity button in the skin settings to allow the end user to determine how dark/light the buttons appear?

Well I just hope that background can be changed. I would love to be able to change it to a picture i like. Also would be nice to give each zone the ability to have its own background picture.

I hate the back button and the arrow, and the speak button. I think the font and arrow should be something thats more simple.

Also the media buttons at the bottom are big. Which is good for some people, but the ability to make them smaller would be cool, or maybe an option to have the bar slide down, then when you hit a part of the screen it slides back up.

The skin will have more then one page for home right? One thing that bothers me about CF is that the rear zones are limited to one home page and six buttons. With so many options for the rear passengers, six buttons is nothing.

As far as volume, how does it work? Is there a slider system? So say I hit up, a slide bar will come up so I can use that too, or do I have to keep hitting the up button?

I love all the button icons. Have a Win 7 like look to them.

PS: The skin is looking awesome, even at 10%, so keep up the good work.

Absolutely...like a few things its definitely on the feature list but I can't promise it makes the first release.

Can you give an example of what you had in mind? Personally i prefer a home button over a back button but were going to play around with it a bit and see what everyone thinks.

Thats the one thing I don't think is planned for this skin. Having played with it quite a bit it really is the perfect size for a finger.

I can't promise that for the first release but absolutely thats a planned feature. Each zone can match or each zone can be fully independent-different background, different home buttons, etc.

you tap either the plus or minus buttons to bring up the slider and then can either continue using the +/- buttons or drag the slider directly.

I dont know, there is just something on how the buttons look. Maybe its just me? Yea the buttons being big on the media bar, are fine, maybe I need to see it on a 7 inch screen.

The volume slider looks cool.

Maybe because I havent been playing with OM, I dont understand how it works. I know the one in .08 has a lot of buttons, but this skin doesnt have that. So everytime I add a button, will it simply make the buttons smaller?

There will be arrows added in phase 2 to shift between multiple main menus (similar to how android works) or we may have the entire list scroll (like an iphone)...we'll have to play around with some ideas and see what works best.

i like the idea of the arrow buttons better.. if you were to use something like a iphone swipe, then gestures on the main screen wouldn't work..

and i don't think any skin will ever meet 100% of hijack's needs...
