Can someone explain to me how to add an app to the e36 skin or point me in the right direction? I read the FAQ's for roadrunner, but I am just confused. I am trying to add CDR's filemanager 'Freedom' skin beta progress (Flash Based) to the e36 skin as an app and just can't figure it out.

Do this:

1) Open your RR installation directory and search for the "LAUNCH" directory.

2) Open the "LAUNCH" directory and create in it a new directory named "File manager".

3) Open the new directory and create in it a new text file named "File manager.ini" and write in it this code:

[GENERAL]
PATH = [app path]\filemanager.exe
TryEmbeddedTimeOut = 5
WindowSearchString=FileManager

where [app path] is the path to filemanager.exe

4) Optionally you can add a picture as icon in the directory.

Maybe you have to add some more butons and indicators to get it working at 100%

maybe this is an old question but I've not found any info about it: are there some specifications for pictures used to show callers? I've read only something about naming the .jpg file but what about the size ? Is it portrait, landscape or simply squared ? Which is the best image dimension (pxl by pxl) ?

thanks for your work, lucianop

RR will scale automatically the picture, however a good size for the contacts' pictures could be 120 x 120 pixel.
