There are really just a few things I'd like to get:

LAT, LONG, SPEED, HEADING, ALTITUDE, SATS and if the GPS has a lock or not.. I believe I can get most of those from your current SDK (except for the GPS Lock status).. This would also allow us to run FD and Mappoint at the same time (like it is possible now with MM)...

Asides from that, I'll be adding two commands to allow lowering and resuming of volume -- the advantage is that you'll be able to lower volume not only of Winamp but also of XM/FM/Video with configured settings in RR... Probably something like "SETVOL;30" (lower to 30% of current volume) and "RESUMEVOL" (to restore it to original level)... that way you can call those at will ...

i see...
but i found strange thing on the both of my desktop and carpc...
if i map master volume to wave or other
eq in RR shows that master is mapped to wave but accually in windows volume control they are not...
the master vol on RR and master on windows doesn't match...
can you check why master in RR doest update matser vol in windows?
when it is set to master vol only it is ok...
thank you...

If you have master in RR mapped to Wave then your picture is correct. As I see the Wave slider being just a bit up from the bottom just like the Master slider in RR. The master on the PC and RR will not mach because you have the Master in RR mapped to the WAVE slider on the PC.

how i understood from quote of Guino is...
if i map master volume to wave or other it will change both volume at same time...
and it looks like in RR...
in this case, if your main volume changes somehow from out side of RR...
there is no way to change back in RR...

no, currently you'll either set master or make the controls in RR (meant for master control) to command a slider of your choice (or all of them). There's no feature to control BOTH master and WAVE at the same time (and it would be silly because it's a rather radical approach to changing the volume -- you'd be making the volume range incredibly large and incredibly steep)..

GammaControl v1.3 supports changing day/night skins

Bump. Would love it for RR to automatically change the skin to day/night mode based on what time it was.

This, to me, is overcomplicated. Sometimes I won't even have the GPS on at all. How about it just go off the computer's time (which should automatically adjust for daylight savings time anyways), and have the user be able to set it in RR.ini (or config exe) what times they want it to switch at? KISS (Keep it simple).

Bahhh.. sucks. I don't want to mess with Gamma settings and percentages and junk like that. I just want it to switch to night mode at 5pm and day mode at 5am (or whatever) via an easy rrconfig setting - no GPS crap, sunset time stuff, etc.
