In a normal skin I would have done so, but this is a skin a lot more complicate than the old Alpine I've used for 5 years.
Skin.ini:
MenuExec_14=BYVAR;WebMode;WebBrowser<<WebBrowser<< <<MENU;Web_Browser_setting.skin

Exectbl.ini
"WebBrowser","BYVAR;WebMode;FENNEC<<WEB"
"FENNEC","Load;Browser.skin;fennec;$SkinPath$Brows er\fennec.exe;fennec"

WebBrowser in skin.ini -----> WebBrowser in Exectbl.ini -----> FENNEC
FENNEC in Exectbl.ini -----> fennec path

If I put in Skin.ini
MenuExec_14=FENNEC
it works

there is something strange, isn't it?

Make sure debugging is turned off for RRVoice. Mine was on, and it was really making the system sluggish

Checked system date and it's deffinately correct?

Today was; Wednesday, October nineteen, twenty-ten. Which surely isn't a date that could even be set in the system?

Check that your Flash and video drv's are up to date. Also check the task manager to see if it is RR that is using all of that...could be one of the skin backend apps that are consuming it as well, dought it but...IDK.

Ya, I believe that the default is set to ON, should really be off and then if there are issues, user can turn it on.

In DFX4 I put all of Robby's components into the Road Runner folder and it has been working fine and in fact it still does work fine. If I switch to DFX5 the TPMS screen opens up, but it isn't displaying any data from the sensors - is there something else I need to configure?

I'm using the October release of RideRunner, maybe it doesn't like being in the old Road Runner path?

Thanks for a great skin in DFX5, if I can get TPMS working I'll switch from DFX4

Ok, my guess is that you haven't moved the TMS plugin to the plugins folder of RideRunner.

RideRunner now loads the plugins that are installed in that folder by default.

The old DFX4 would have had plugins listed in the menu.skin (or a separate file which was included (INC) in the menu.skin), RideRunner (or RoadRunner) would then have loaded those plugins from anywhere as long as they were registered.

DFX5 now takes advantage of RideRunners ability to load the plugins from the plugins folder automatically to dispense with that list in the menu.skin.

Solution 1. (preferred)

Move the TMS plugin to RideRunners plugin folder and register the DLL.

Solution 2.

Add x,tms to the menu.skin of DFX

I had no way to test it. If someone could see what needs to be changed, I will gladly update the skin, and include it with future releases.

TMS skin looks fine to me. Compared it to my iDrive one (which I know works) and the labels etc have the same codes.

Thanks for the confirmation Enforcer. I did use the same labels as his skin, but you never know about typo's and such when you can not physically test it.

As for the phone questions, I personally use a hardware device made by parrot for phone in the car. I find that setting up a phone with the blue tooth and all is a royal pain, and never is 100% rock solid.

The skin is provided, and has been tested to work, so as others suggested, I would check the MobilePhone.net thread.

Open the Garmin_GPS.skin with a text editor and replace this line:

Code:

L,314,528,66,48,#DFX1R#,#DFX1G#,#DFX1B#,55,"DFX Font","=G","CENTER"

with this line:

Code:

L,334,533,35,65,#DFX1R#,#DFX1G#,#DFX1B#,45,"DFX Font","Status","Right"

I also noticed this in the menu.ini of the DFX/Plugins/RRVoice folder.

Code:

Scroll Down=DOWN
Scroll Up=UP
Page Down=DOWN||DOWN||DOWN||DOWN||DOWN||DOWN||DOWN||DOWN||DOWN||DOWN||DOWN||DOWN||DOWN||
[HL]Scroll Up[/HL]=UP||UP||UP||UP||UP||UP||UP||UP||UP||UP||UP||UP||UP||

I am pretty sure that the 2nd Scroll Up should be replaced with Page Up.

Thanks for the quick fix! I have corrected it here and it will be in the upcoming patch.
