Loader background?
Or the background picker like the one below?

If the one above (background image isn't change when you use the up/down arrow), try to register GDI Plus thinggy.

Yes, it's the skin background (as in the screen cap), i don't even get the list of BG's (located in RR folder)

I'll go see about registering the GDI+

Thanks for your response.

If you used other skins supporting transparency and had no problems, then its highly doubtful that is what the problem is...

**treetop777** · 04-15-2008, 07:51 AM

Indeed, that wasn't the problem.

Any body else get the background to work? Not even editing skin.ini made it work for me.

No problems here.

**MatrixPC** · 04-15-2008, 10:36 AM

what is your skin.ini look like?
Is it something like this?

Code:

BGPath=C:\Program Files\Road Runner\BackGround\
background=C:\Program Files\Road Runner\BackGround\Blue Os.jpg

Note that some of you have Road Runner installation in RoadRunner directory instead of Road Runner. There is space between Road and Runner while other don't.
Your problem is more likely that RR can't read the Background directory (BGPath) that is why the list isn't show up.

Awesome, just plain awesome!

I will test later tonight when I get home.

Thx Matrix

Tweaked skin.ini a little and added the BGPath (yet another background path) to rr.ini and she fired right-up.

Thanks for sharing.

I don't think you need BGPath in RR.ini Just make sure it's correctly point to in skin.ini is good for it to work.
Well, whatever float your boat right?

glad it work for you.

Great skin Matrix, Was able to get it up and running in seconds flat.

Heres what I entered in skin.ini to get her going on first run

Code:

BGPath=C:\backgrounds
background=C:\backgrounds\snow.jpg

Since I use all non standard paths I also modified the .skin files so that the FlashLogo and SkinIcon folders are read from the CFX TX directory no matter where it goes. Basically, I just used the notepad 'replace' tool to remove all instances of ..\..\ in the skin files. Now the skin reads from the logo/icon folders from within its own directory. Made a couple other tweaks here and there, but just wanted to again commend you on the great rework of one of the best ever skins for RR.

Just so everyone knows, there are a TON of hidden buttons in this skin, most of them click and hold for alternate function so take a look at the .skin files to really unleash this skins power.

Here is a screener of the skin with me in the background boarding at Vail

Hmmmmmmm without the clock logo, it look really nice
(if the picture is center).

Yes, many buttons use click and hold command so take a look at the skin file to see.
The skin file is very well oganize into section. Take a look and you know what I mean.

Also if you don't want to use relative path the way I use, do just like blk02si did. Open notepad and do a replace of those relative path to the actual path.
