Thread: Nitro frontend is now in beta test

Update: I just released version 0.1.2.0 which solves some crashes at startup.

Woohoo a good looking front end, maybe the RR skin guys will get some ideas!

i like it but whats keeping me from using it is the orange

Hi Zmast,

Nice front end, very nice design, very new age. Wish RR felt like this.

But I still think its missing many main features front ends should have, e.g. like a car system should have:

. Radio (FM support and DAB)
. Videos (support the usual formats)
. Navigation (iGO support is needed) - This doesnt matter to much as your external app feature will work fine
. Internet Browser
. Flash Visual Features when music is playing of home background.

Actually it looks very good on my car which has orange backlight too... haha, just kidding.
What if i could make the accent color configurable, say Orange, Green, Red or Blue?

everyone to there own, I like the orange, but it would be nice to change what ever colour you select

Just downloaded and am really impressed. Question... I have mapfactor navigator free installed but when I click for that plugin in your front end it says "unable to find navigator.exe in default path" Can you tell me where the default path is so I can move the executable? Also, I second the request for color change options. I have a F-150 so ford blue would be awesome! Thanks and keep up the good work!

that would be sweet i personally like blue :P orange nope

I finally got around to trying this on my desktop, and I love it. Will try it on my car soon.
It's clean and it's simple!

The only thing I'd like to see changed is to keep the 'Back' button visible at all times, and always in the same place. It's a little weird to drill into the settings menus, for example, navigate the menus, tweak things, descend, tweak, back out, etc, etc. And then it's a surprise when tapping in that spot doesn't take you backward. For the final step back, you have to tap the Home button in the opposite corner of the screen.

And the Phone module and the music-nav screens have back buttons that are positioned to the right of where the Settings module has the back button. If you could reserve a corner for the back button in all modules/screens (except the main screen), that would be great.
