Thread: OMEGA 1.0.1 Beta Release

I will look at it tomorrow. Tonight I have a conference call with China. Will be up all night.
Thanks for letting me know.

Any possibilities of adding a Suzuki Logo.

thanx MGD for great work

I think this is a very nice and clean skin, but I do have a few suggestions:

When in the menu 2 items (ytube for example), and I click back, it will go back to menu 1 rather than where I was before, that's not what I expected.

YTube is the only menu item what switches back to MAIN. Nice find.
Put this code on the exit button of the YTube skin.

"ACTIVATE;Kawaks 1.46||SENDKEY;{ENTER}||WAIT;.025||SENDKEY;%{F4}||W AIT;.025||SENDKEY;%{F4}||EXIT||RESUME"

Make sure there are'nt any spaces.

When I change the theme or logo, roadrunner shuts down rather than restarts.

I don't see anything wrong with it. When you click on SELECT or THEME SELECT the command RELOADSKIN is executed, it should not quit RR.

Most screens do not have track info, so I don't know what song is playing, instead it tells me what day it is. I really only need that info once a day, so replacing that with track info would be more important. (I know there's the announce thing, but I really don't like it)

If you don't like the DATE on those screens you can change the label from "DATE" to "TRACKNAME"

On the audio browser screen, the font for the time is different than the other screens (should be the same label code copied into each)

Unconfirmed! I went through every screen this morning and they are all the same...as the TIME in the upper right is a FlashClock.

The video menu hides too quick, so I basically have to hold my finger on the screen the whole time just to switch to the next video.

This is not skin related as there is no timer event. Check your RR.ini and change the videohidetime delay to what ever time you want (in seconds).
videoautohide=true
videohidetime=4

You have a skin called "evic," so what hardware is needed to access the Chrysler EVIC information?
No hardware needed as this is a flash application for gas fill up's, oil change and the like.

Overall I think the skin is nice, and with a little itty bit more work will be one of the "greats" for sure.

That worked

It works fine on all the other skins I use, not sure why my computer doesn't like doing that from your skin.

I meant date, in Audio_Player.skin, the font is "As Seen on TV" but was not included in the download. Shouldn't it be the same as the other labels (BN Deep Blue)?
Also in CalcRoute.skin, Draw.skin, Evic.skin, Exit_Menu.skin, Gamma.skin, Gamma2.skin, JumpToLetter.skin, Media_Manager.skin, motionlock_denied.skin, Radio_Menu_Function.skin, Settings.skin, Settings2.skin, System.skin, system2.skin, system3.skin, System_Lock.skin, Unlock_Sytem.skin, They all have this code: "L03,3,-8,508,30,255,255,255,20,"As seen on TV","DATE","CENTER"

I think we just need the font, and it will probably be fine, but I replaced that line with this:
"L03,4,7,508,30,255,255,255,28,"BN Deep Blue:B","TAGARTIST||= - ||TAGTITLE","SCROLL-CENTER""

videoautohide=true
videohidetime=4

I had videoautohide=false, fixed that

I think that solves most of that, once we get "As Seen On TV" font

Are you kidding ? You're telling me I forgot a font ?
You right sir, here it is.

two small things that I've noticed ...

When the skin starts for the first time, if you don't have RR installed in c:\program files\.... then the background will not set ... even if you select one from the theme changer screen. This is because of hardcoded paths saved in the skin.ini as I later found out.

Perhaps a load default's hidden button on the main menu ... or I could send you my script that checks for a valid background image on skinstart and if not found loads a predefined image from the skin folder ... !!

And on the exit menu, it's not clear which button will simple "Exit" the skin, as the skin options are hibernate, standby, restart, logoff, power off ?? I found out it was the "logoff" option, but maybe a name change on the button ?

oh .. and this line is in the skin.ini
Logo=C:\Car\Skins\OEMGA\Logos\Corvette.png
notice the incorrect spelling for "OMEGA" .. you might want to see where that is coming from.

otherwise ... so far so good, really nice work.
