[REL] iGoBMW transparent

**brandensin** · 03-24-2008, 04:45 PM

wow... beautiful.... I like ur menu screen.. where it displays just about all the informtion u wanna see.. weather, cpu,ram, gps..... and very clean.... This skin is must have for igo users for sure.... Ilist and vis should really be all it needs i think.... More buttons will make it look messy... It is very clean and buttons are large... Great skin for small screen users....

Asterix1965 , vol is in the mixer... I think he did it this way so, he doesn't have to have too many buttons at the bottom part.. little incovinient, but looks cleaner...

I saw that the volume is in the mixer but for a continued use is inconvenient. Probably the use of commands to the steering wheel is essential with this skin.

Yup, I use the Head Unit of the car so I leave the PC volume to about 50% and then use the SW to change the HU volume - You can edit ibusrr.ini to change the pc volume.

To use the IbusRR plugin you need this: http://www.reslers.de/IBUS/.
You can connect the [12v / Ground / ibus] cables to:
1. The boot, from the cd changer cable: http://indashpc.org/vbullettin/viewtopic.php?=&p=2776
2. Back of HU: http://indashpc.org/vbullettin/viewtopic.php?p=1373

I'm getting a strange install...my menu screen is blank white, I can't see the menu icons or background at all. The only things that are barely visible (translucent like) are the bottom icons such as the CPU usage and the player controls. I unzipped and copied the contents to my installation folder "c:\Program Files\RoadRunner" and also made sure to set the rr.ini to point to the backgrounds folder, "c:\Program Files\RoadRunner\backgrounds".

I think it's because of the different default instalation of Road Runner... used to be a space in the name, eg. "Program Files\Road Runner" now I see the latest install is "Program Files\RoadRunner" ...

So if you can't see the background open up the skin.ini file (iGoBMW skin folder) and remove the space from the name.

Thanks, that worked.

Very nice, will get around to downloading it and trying it in the car...

Glad to see your utilizing the ibus functions in the skin

Been using this for a little while and this is an awesome skin. Any further developments?

**dan32500** · 04-13-2008, 05:08 PM

I've done since the release:
1. the obc screen with analog gauges and info from the mileage plugin..
2. ilists (a bit buggy - list goes blank after resume)
2. visualizer in audio player
will release an update maybe this week...

This is an awesome skin. I've been using it for a few days and it's now my main skin! Thanks for the credits for iBusRR. It's been a while since I updated it but now my car is out of storage w/ a brand new carpc installed so i'll be looking for some new functions to add.

Is there a way you could add a transparent visualisation (low opacity) on the menu skin that would replace the background?
