Thread: iCar.Net New Front End

Hi Pierrotm,

No there is no any copyright and stuff...
Limited means there are some functions which are not fully developed, implemented yet, like phone, maps, clock, etc. That's why I called limited functions...
Otherwise of course no any limit, but only the stars on the sky!

can you change the button colors at all? Not digging the purple, maybe keep them all universal the same color?
