RRSkineditor, Possibly.

Otherwise, looks around to see if BlueZX3 is about, Notepad.

....wrong

Thats Notepad++ to you..

Actually I have found a new editor that is slightly better than Notepad for dealing with code.

Crimson Editor.

I see these lines in the menu.skin:

L,0,0,0,0,#DFX1R#,#DFX1G#,#DFX1B#,0,"Arial","GPSSP D","CENTER"
L,1,0,1,1,0,0,0,12,"Arial","GPSHDG",
L,1,1,1,1,0,0,0,8,"Arial","GPSCompass",

But the boxes for display are so small that they are just dots in the top left corner of the screen. I am curios about them. Are they place holders for future use? Are they needed for someother part of the skin to function properly? Etc. Etc.

Thanks.

PS: I guess this is a JohnWPB question since he is the skin author.

you'll find that they are info labels, its so the flash compass (GPSSPD,GPSCompass) in the menu skin reads the info from rr via these labels,and the GPSHDG was or maybe still is for an indicator to show you have GPS connection.

Thnx for your help both - looking at Crimson Editor now. I probably worded my Q wrong - what I meant was; is there a faster way than using skineditor or notepad++ to edit multiple .skin files?

**Blue ZX3** · 06-27-2008, 07:43 AM

Um...ya have someone else do it...

**Blue ZX3** · 06-27-2008, 07:48 AM

@drewbp

The GPSHgd label is the direction in degree's that your headed in.

And carputer1 is correct in that reply to your post.

Quick update to multiple skin text editing.. what would have taken some time to do (going through 174 skin files to edit a tooltip) - all done in 469 milliseconds!!!

For those who may be interested, the software is called 'File Substring Replacement Utility'

Hope this helps someone out there!

here's a log file of what it did...

Ok, when the skin first loads I hear the PC say (as far as I can make it out), " background is set...set command labels 48....check icons.." What the heck is that??

I have voice enabled of course, because I have the buttons "say" what is on them when I press them. This only happens with the 3.0 skin. All other skins are fine. Any ideas??
