but the plugin screen itself is skewed- im running a 16:9 screen so it doesnt seem to work well... is there a way to change its aspect ratio?

depends on which plugin screen your using. You should be ale to edit all the jpg's for most of the skins to fit yourself. The only one you wont be able to is the ultimate one.

I have problem with plug-in. First my setup:
- Ride Runner July-09
- .Net 1.0, 1.1, 2.0, 3.0 and 3.5 installed
- Skype 4.1.0.141 installed and tested
I did set in Skype options, RR as allowed to control it.
Everything works ( I can see my Skype is ON, my contact list, their status, my call list) but no matter what, my Skype status in plug-in is Offline and I can't make or end any calls. Any help with this?

Well this has the basics of calling. I'm not putting much effort into it as there not much interest althouh if this changes I'm willing to put in more time.

Dartmans good at pestering and gets me to add new features.

At the moment I'm not convinced about chat in the plugin as it doesn't seem like a good idea in a car.

As for the tracker its my current favourite project. Its well developed and fully funcional.

Well at the moment they wont be able to do it

.

But seriously if I get enough people asking for it and showing interest then I'll do it but so far interest has been low.

Dartman is testing a new version which brings up a skin if an incomming call occures. Its just like my mobilephone app but its called rrskypecall.skin. So there'll be two skins. Just so you know. And great news that it'll be supported. Thanks
