iDrive 2.20 Release

Hi,
would it be possible to switch between GPS.skin and power-dvd.skin? For now I have a problem because when I switch from dvd to gps, powerdvd always stops and I have to start it again.

Have you tried it on another skin. I think that's how Road Runner works with DVD's.

I have found it:

write in rr.ini -> usedualmon=true and it will work.

As you have a 'None' GPS option, 'RoadRunner' seems to me 'other than listed' in config.

That's how those buttons work in the video screen. AFAIK

Maybe change them to NEXTTRACK/PREVTRACK for this screen is a good idea? Seeking can be done using slider.

Which navi are you using?

I'm using russian navi program, because others has no maps for my country.
I have changed sattelite icon on the navi screen to launch an OSK.

That's by design, to get out of that screen press the BMW logo which takes you back to main menu. If that's covered as well then you haven't got the right window name of the app in the apps ini

Yes, I can use BMW logo to exit to main menu, but how can I launch an OSK or close application? I've added a few buttons to the low bar on this screen (see picture). I think it's a good idea.

Have you any plans to change size of the low bar?

The Road Runner option was put in for uses which have a GPS receiver connected to allow the Speed and number of sats displayed through RR

There won't be any support in the skin for that, so you will have to make up the buttons yourself, so the buttons down the side can be whatever you want.

Haven't really done much with the launch screen, it's very much as BTBE orginally designed it. might have a look into it for future releases

Not for the main releases, might at some time in the future release a different variation with bigger top and bottom headers.

Can't wait to try it out! Been waiting for this for a while now.... on my phone, but I will definitely try it out tomorrow. Big thanks as always Enforcer!

Right done some checking,

the following work for me

: % ^ ( ) + ~

These don't work

! ;

I think these are special characters in skin codes, will see if there is a way around this.

2. If I select select 'RoadRunner' GPS in config, the sattelite icon disappears from all screens

6. On the launch screen there is no selection highlight
7. Any open application on the launch screen overlaps all buttos on this screen

Ok after doing a bit of testing I have made some changes.

download the following files and extract them to your iDrive folder, these will overwrite the top.skin, gpstop.skin, cdrip.skin and launch.skin and will correct the slider problem and the 'missing' satelite symbol if RoadRunner is selected. Also they correct the no selection and applications covering up the buttons in the application/launch screen.

There is one manual adjustment to be made and that is to rename the slider folder

slider_PHOCO_signal

to

slider_phone_signal

a Similar correction post has been made for the Night version too, and that file is in the night skin thread.
