Thread: Carwings Dynamic Lite DAYTIME

I think it looks great! That off-white/silver is for me the best solution for day time viewing.

Me too. It works great in the truck.
I emailed you a link to d/l at the email address you sent me the other day. Did you get itl or do I need to resend it? Once you get it I found a couple of bugs to fix so I will send you a new link once they are fixed.

I have seen many day skins in the past and have come to the conclusion that we probably need to add another term to our collective vocabulary... There are lighter skins for daytime use and there should be skins for "DAYLIGHT" ,i.e., direct sunlight in a convertable. These skins are for extreme conditions and in my opinion must be bold black letters and symbols on a pale/off-white background.

Every time someone announces a new day skin I get excited and then disappointed. My screen in my vert works well but but the text of these day skins really does need to be black.
At least with a black font I have several pale backgrounds I can use in the vert.

I can do that too. With this version I was trying to keep the feel of the grey carwings but in lighter colors. I played with an almost pure black and white version while I worked on this. I will do a screen shot for you and see if you would like a complete skin.

Exactly! Perfectly put! Most skin gurus should develop for both: a daytime skin and a DAYLIGHT! skin!

DAYLIGHT! skin may not look as good when coding in your glossy screen at night, but under direct bright sunlight, no clouds CA Summer sun...only DAYLIGHT! will do.

Awesome! I think you could keep the off-white/silver. The whites must be opaque so as not to reflect light. So I think the silver on the first one above works okay for me (i tested in the car already, when you first sent it). Now the black/off-black(?) can be glossy, I think. So yeah, both work for me, but darker fonts should be preferred.
