Thread: cmdRR - Tall Skin - Released (Beta?)

Not sure what to say really. But lets begin.

Good to see a tall skin, as you said not many around.

It looks very simple, which can be good, however to me it looks like you have squashed a normal skin into the top third and let the OBD stuff take over the other 66% (mixing my numbers to make sure people are reading carefully)

Be interesting to see some other screens, Navigation for example.

Also just had a sneak look at your install thread, that's a big screen.

yea, I've made the top section pretty standard on all screens... I mean 12" is alot of space to fill... and may have the top section a little busy, with the audio info I enclosed up there.

I did some reorganizing and removed some things I had on that screen and think it's pretty damn bare... might just have to put a picture browser or something there with pron haha
I'll take more pics tonight.

The GPS is basically the entire bottom with the exception of buttons down the left side. for quick access to favourite locations and stuff... I'm using iGuidance.

Not too fond of the icons on the buttom but everything else looks good. I would take the time to do on/off graphics for the shuffle and repeat buttons so when you touch the button, it changes color inside the button; that would preclude having the indicators show-up somewhere else.

That looks very appealing! I never considered using anything but 50/50 on the sizing for the separate sections. I think I'll play with the 33/66 on my skins this weekend. Can't wait to test it in my cars! Don't forget to include an optional full screen for Nav (I've found it to be invaluable when navigating in an unfamiliar city.)

consider that done... and made the clock/date larger and removed the CPU %

I've got one section on the top that needs to be filled with something, or I'll just redo the top buttons to make them a little larger.. guess that's one idea.
As far as the top being cluttered up... yea likely, but since this is replacing my stereo I'm keeping the audio controls for most screens (except for background and pluginmgr ones). I'm slowly putting my 'styling' into everything, so those logos will be gone and I'll see about even adjusting the flash gauges on the bottom.

Here are some more pictures for your viewing pleasure... Updated - 11-29-09

I don't know if full screen GPS would change much... it's pretty freakin huge!

Also I don't know why, but on my test machine the GPS isn't fully embedding nicely, it's leaving like half a toolbar across the top... Though it is truly embedded with iG Native mode on.

Are they any left for you?

They all are if I've slept since then.

Oh, you are running with only RAM then.
