Suavecito, in sonicxtacy's thread you mentioned you had done a mod to IGiudance.exe to increase the road text and road lines. Do you this available for download somewhere? Or can you describe how you did it. I like using IGuidance instead of the UMPC version but the text and roads are too small.

Thanks for a great skin.

Mike its easy to change the text size and road size lines. All you have to do its create a file named THEME.INI, which can be done in notepad and save it to the IGuidance program folder. The theme.ini will only be loaded by the iGuidance.exe and not the iGuidanceUMPC.exe. One of downsides of using the theme.ini is that it will not change any of the menus size, so they maybe a little to small to see. Now, in 2D MODE the theme.ini will effect the text and road lines, but it will not effect the road lines in 3D MODE. Your are going to have play around with the road pen widths for each of the zoom levels until you like it. You can use the theme.ini to change other settings too, for more information on customizing IGuidance visit the GpsPasSion Forums. Note that many of the post say to save to ctheme.ini do not for IGuidance 3 and later, instead save as theme.ini. I have posted an example below.

In the file you need the following:

Code:

; street name font size in points @ zoom level
STS=20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20

; THE FOLLOWING WILL NOT HAVE ANY EFFECT ROAD LINES IN 3D MODE
; IT WILL ONLY EFFECT THE ROAD LINES IN 2D MODE

; road pen width in pixels @ 100ft FC1-2-3-4-5
RPW0=6 6 5 4 3
;RPW0=2 2 2 2 1 (default)

Hey guys,

Quick update:

I started to work on the 800 * 600 skin but I've been really busy lately and haven't had a chance to continue work on it. I looks like I will have recreate each of the screens and images and it may take a week or two.

??? What do you mean ???

Awesome.
Are you separating all the icons instead of having them park of the menu? I did this on my modded version so that I could rearrange some stuff and add new icons. I also converted the top bar to an INC so I only have to change it once to update every screen.
I made some new icons if anyone is interested.
Camera, Google Earth, Pandora, BMW
I also made a BMW skin for some Ibus control and gauges and a pandora skin with buttons for thumbs up/down and stuff. If anyone is interested I can post the files if suavecito is cool with it.

blk02si, i was talking about the icons and the items used at the top of the screen. Kelmk also had the right idea, im going to look into that tonight.

It's only one file called on.png that is for the toggle graphics. Just pull it into any photo add and alter the hue to red.

Nice work kelmk,
I don't mind at all, if you would like for the icons or the screen skins to be included in future releases of elite or elite lite please post the psd and screen skins.

As for the menu icons, the next version of elite lite uses independent icons instead of a full static image. I am also working on a simple way to allow the user to select what menu button goes where, which will allow for more user customizing, similar to you can do in the DigitalFX 4.0 skin. Now as for more colors, currently that will have to wait, because I have to create two different skins, one 800 * 480 and the other 800 * 600. Once I get the two versions completed I will start to release other color themes.
