Thread: OVERLAY [screen loader]

Possibly the best plugin ever scripted for RR.

I know this is a bumping an old thread, but I'm really hoping to see this picked back up. I'm willing to help as much as I can, with the limited coding knowledge I have at least.

I'd love to see these features implemented or fixed:

- Font size
- Font alignment (probably just that the plugin isn't recognizing the info after the comma)
- Indicators (shuffle/repeat, mute, etc.)
- Sliders
- Variables and INC support. (I use different font colors, and it would be nice if the skin's color would work in the overlay.)

This has been the major reason that I haven't used the overlay plugin for the menus in my skin, I have a button that switches the labels to symbols and back, which uses variables. If the menus were overlays, we would still be able to use the underlying buttons without having to cancel out of the menu...

so, please pick this back up so we can all use this great plugin.

Ok, as reported by blk02si in this post:

Is there a fix for this? I've confirmed it on every system I've run it on.

fixed.

i guess i'm dummy but I cant make the skin to work with my camera APP... well skin did not want to load at all with or without the app.

So, i tried to reverse engeneer the Garmin Plugin GMPC, ..
I tries to edit GMPC.skin to load my images but It did not work I', only detting bgey BG thats all...

My iages are PNG, could that be a problem?

Can some one help me out w/ skins for Road Camera HD? Tnx!
I spent whole dayplaying around but no luck so fur

this plugin works with png images, just create your .skin file with the editor, make your buttons and labels, and after you launch your application, run this script with the name of your .skin file., it would be better if you post what you have tried.

ok
give me 30 min and i post my thingies

Ok here is what I tried and failed ..
In zip file u will find 2 png images and my skin file.

The skin file content is:

PHP Code:

RoadRunner Skin
RRScreen RoadCameraHD
RoadCameraHD_off.png,RoadCameraHD_off.png,RoadCameraHD_on.png,RoadCameraHD_on.png
 
B_Mirror,672,139,121,83,,
 
B_Channel_Minus,735,314,58,79,,
 
B_Channel_Plus,671,313,58,78,,
 
B_Snapshot,671,223,122,79,,
 
B_Record,672,46,122,80,,
A,0,0,800,600,

END 


THe ExecTBL.ini has following lines:

Code:

"CAMERA" ="LOAD;RoadCameraHD.skin"

And skin button declaration reads "CAMERA"


So far I wasnt even able to brign up the skin.

I tried this line to load skin:

"CAMERA","LOAD;RoadCameraHD.skin;;$skinpath$\..\.. \RoadCameraHD\RoadCameraHD.exe;RoadCameraHD.exe"

This one loaded my app but did not load the skin and RR crashed,... well not crashed but became unaxesible
