Most Complete Skin

**Simon123** · 07-22-2006, 04:19 PM

I'm a fairly hardware oriented guy, but I want to get RR up and running since it looks to be the best front end for my purposes. I'd like to start by setting up a current skin, then move to editing the skin to my preferences, then try making my own from scratch.
The main features I want integrated are
1 - Ig3.0
2 - Phoco
3 - Voice control

So my question is what skin would be the best to start with, I need a stable, fully configured skin as much as possible (by that I mean it should have skins for the apps I need already in the skin folder, like an external GPS skin.)

I've tried the BMV skin that comes with RR, two Mazda related skins that turned out to be incopmlete for my needs and the CFX skin that seems to have what I need but the buttons aren't where the jpeg's show them to be so it's hard to navigate.

Any suggestions so I don't have to install every skin one a time and try them out?

Thanks
Simon

Cool, I'll give this a try. I noticed in a different thread that someone was asking a similiar question. He was trying to figure out which of the skins on the rr site where most current. It would be tight to have a master skin that wasn't particularly fancy appearance wise but was updated along with the program. I don't really have the skills right now but perhaps I will someday.

give my skin a try, it has all those things you mentioned and a lot more, and you dont have to edit the jpegs to move buttons around.

Liquid Smoke and Chuck both have fantastic, fully featured/loaded skins.

Chucks skin is like RR on steroids, crack, X and any other stimulant you can think of.

iDrive has iGuidance (2.x.x) should also work with 3 unless they have changed the shortcut keys, phoco also works and next release will have th SMS working.

Voice control doesn't need anything done in the skin to work.

MC 2.0 with the JAGmod worked out well for me, it's much easier to understand the program if everything is in the skin. Thanks for all the suggestions
I got IG3 to embed and it works fine but the buttons in the skin (meaning the gps specific buttons, not the buttons that affect music while looking at gps) don't have any effect. I saw in a different thread that IG3 doesn't have the keyboard shortcuts anymore, I don't have a way to verify that though since I waited for IG3 and never used 2.1.x.
