Oh, I almost forgot, there is a new "Speak the forecast" button on the weather screen. Whatever weather you are viewing will be read. Speech does not have to be enabled in RR for it to work.
I can tell you it was a real pain to take the raw data from RR weather variables, and make it sound like a much more natural report! There is a TON of logic that looks at what the conditions are for instance to make it sound natural.
If the label contained "T-Storms" for instance it would say:
"Currently, it is T-Storms"
But, it wold work Ok if the label contained "Partly cloudy"
"Currently, it is Partly Cloudy"
Logic was put in place so it would be spoken like:
"Currently, There are Scattered thunderstorms through out the area"
It will use whatever default voice you have set up for windows. The voice I am using is Neo Speech Kate.
There are tons of great voices available for download under $29 HERE. (You can hear a sample of all of the voices)
NOTE: Heather sounds great, but will not work as a standard SAPI voice with all applications.
Attached is an Audio clip I recorded while it was reading the weather.

ok with the DFX editor button how do i just simply integrate a program i wrote, i don't know much about RR and commands for it..
:-/ any point in direction helpful
Have a look at the exectbl.ini, and search for RunQ; There are a lot of em in there, and you can see the syntax on how to run your .exe.
As for the Num6 thing, probably good to post that one in the main forum, as its not really skin specific. Try looking up the keytbl.ini settings to map keys to RR commands.

Is there a way to put a reload button where the exit menu is? I don't use the lock button so I can replace it with that one.
Since I can't seem to get sirius to work after hibernation this would be another way with out having to exit RR and launch it again.
I can't find this guys post. He needs to turn his firewall off in order to get past 22%...I had the same issue.
That is a crazy story....and funny!! Who knew a carpc could be so powerful in that situation.Ok, this is so far off topic from the skin, that I can't even really justify posting it in my own thread! Off topic or not, I had to tell someone about the crazy night I had.
It started like any other Sat night, going out with some friends, having a few drinks and a good time.
It was not until the drive home that things changed. I had just gotten off the interstate, and was sitting at a light to turn right. There was a car in front of me, and this guy staggered up and banged on the passenger window. I watched as the car pulled forward to avoid him, and the guy collapsed to the ground. I backed up, and pulled to the side of the off ramp and put it in park, as something just did not seem right. One would think great, a homeless person, a beggar, a drunk who knows, but something told me it was more than that.
As I got out of the car and walked up, he was gasping for air. He looked Spanish and asked him if he spoke English, and he somewhat shook his head no the best that he could, and gasped Espanol... At that point he collapsed completely. He was young, and looked to be about 20 years old or so.
As I looked him over, he had some sort of stab wound to his chest and was bleeding pretty bad, as well as from the nose and mouth. I was a medic in the Army some years ago and something just kicked in. I checked his breathing... he had stopped breathing. I did the whole can you hear me, shook his shoulders ect... no response.
I ran back to the car, got the first aid kit, and pulled out the plastic tube for CPR that prevents mouth to mouth contact. Another car was stopping at the light and I was yelling to them to call 911. I administered CPR, and in just a short time, and he choked and began to gasp for air. I then rolled him on his side so he would not choke on any blood and such.
I then called 911 myself to report it. They said they had received a call, and they were dispatching to Forrest Hill and I-95. I told them that was wrong! I was at I-95 and 6th ave (2 exists to the south of where they thought we were). She told me the person who called gave that location. I was adiment and told her it was wrong. I ran back to the car, and gave her the exact Lat and Lon of where we were (From the already open RR of course). Within a couple of minutes a police car showed up, followed by another a few seconds after that.
it was a lot more eventful night that I had anticipated! The police thanked me for stopping and helping, and dismissed me politely to basically leave.
I dont know what part I played, or the CarPC played in the whole thing, but it did help to pinpoint precisely where we were. I am sure I will never know what happened with they guy, and am sure they will not tell me if I try to call and ask.
I had my camera in my pocket, and took this photo as I was walking away.
(I blurred out the guy more out of respect, as I do not know his condition, or if he actually made it or not).
