thats right, the Radio_Player skin is coded and drawed for the ADS stick and the PLUG... ICE_Radio.

the USBRADIO.dll (196k file) should work with both.... SILABS and ADS. also the PLUG ICE_RADIO should work for both.

did you ever look in your exectbl.ini file ? which radio is selected ? the Radio_FM or the Radio_ICE ?
followed the code for selection, the / in front of a commandline makes it to a commentline. here is the Radio_FM only comment and RADIO_PLAYER_ICE for working.

/,Selection for RADIO Input FM or SILABS, XM + SIRIUS is inside FM
/-----------------------------------------------------------------
/Radio selection for ICE/ Silabs..ADS or normal FM Radio
/"RADIO","LOAD;RADIO_PLAYER_FM.skin"
"RADIO","LOAD;RADIO_PLAYER_ICE.skin||PAUSE||radio_unmute "

Great skin GF-ler... Was waiting for your new apple night enhanced ver., then i found this.. ^^
A problem encountered while testing it on my desktop.. when you are in IG mode with buttons on the sides, most of the ig buttons don't work such as 3d, zoom in and out and etc.. Any time i click a button it puts my cursor in the bottom left corner. Full button seems to be the only one that works out of the list.

The following lines were missing in execTBL.ini, so i added them as i thought that would do the magic..

"iGuidance_ZoomIn","SENDKEY;{up}||GETFOCUS"
"iGuidance_ZoomOut","SENDKEY;{down}||GETFOCUS"
"iGuidance_Toggle3D","SENDKEY;{3}||GETFOCUS"
"iGuidance_Destination","SENDKEY;{ENTER}{ENTER}{EN TER}||GETFOCUS"
"iGuidance_Orientation","SENDKEY;{3}||GETFOCUS "
"iGuidance_Menu","SENDKEY;{ENTER}||GETFOCUS"
"iGuidance_CancelRoute","SENDKEY; {c}||GETFOCUS"

but, that didn't do it.. i am testing it with ig4. what am i missing here?

Also, how would i get rid of that top menu(File, tools, view) from IG to allow more space..

Thanks man.. When are you gonna release the new version of night apple with cool looking icons?

to IGuidance and Simplistique. you know i live in europe and that iguidance stop there support with version 2.12. all whats sell after this version i cant test... and i think they change a lot.
the commands in the exectbl.ini..... they are only for remembering, in the .skin files who are for GPS all commands are written DIRECT under the buttons.
perhaps its help that you have a look to a skin which run with IG4 and copy all needed functions into the simplistique skin.

another thing is the night apple, i dont think that i would give a link. it missed the better PLAY/PAUSE button in flash and the showing of Radio OR Audio information. i play with the information i get here in the forum but it didnt work.

Hi gf-ler, thanks for the reply. This is what my exec.tbl looks like:

/,Selection for RADIO Input FM or SILABS, XM + SIRIUS is inside FM
/---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
/Radio selection for ICE/ Silabs..ADS or normal FM Radio
/"RADIO","LOAD;RADIO_PLAYER_FM.skin"
"RADIO","LOAD;RADIO_PLAYER_ICE.skin||PAUSE||radio_unmute "

I have tried selecting radio_player_ice, by highlighting this option, and the radio screen does change in RR, but it still wont load. Ive also placed the usbradio.dll file in the simplistique skin folder? But still nothing. You have any more ideas?

the usbradio.dll needs to be registered.
change directory to the location of the usbradio.dll, and register it...
make sure you have the X,RR_ICERADIO in the menu to skin, and make sure it isn't commented out.

Hello.. GF-ler,

I got the iguidance issue resolved with treetop's help.

Now, about the font question... my display doesn't look the same like yours. like music list, your display from the screen shots look nice and neat. But, Mine displays with lousy font... I installed handelgotdbol font but it didn't make any difference....

Please take look at the screen shot, U will see what i am talking about... Any help?

the problem is the drawing in 800x600 pixel by changing to 800x480.
the other way, from 800x480 to 800x600 brings you a bad graphic... a ball would be an egg and so on.
have a look for a skin who is originaly 800x480... like Liquids one or other fantastic skins.


OR you change by RRSkinEditor all entrys in bottom and top position.

i edit the list of important changes. the new values are in red.

not the font is the reason for that bad look, its the converting from 600lines to 480 lines.
if you shift some textboxes a little bit higher/deeper or make the box smaller you get the better result.
