Cool, I can just copy the files from the old skin.
Thanks

What about gps speed? Looks like it is in the menu.skin.

You just need to move it and make the displayed area bigger, right now I think its probably like 1x1 pixel big, basically hidden so that the compass would work etc..

Hmm already, I will see if I can figure it out. How do you figure out the coordinates to move it?

Indicators
I went back to my backup of my old install and the images still just have the GPS icon.

......

Just checked I guess I didn't realize the last time i had the compass was with the CFX skin. Well I will just copy those over.

In CFX there are 2 for each direction, a gif and a jpg. Will the gif work which has transparent backgrounds?

FYI...I also was running the CFX skin just before DFX, but that was a while back...

You might also want to look where as I did make some iG looking arrow symbols HERE

Great, I will try that.

Do I need to do everything the post says or just copy the images over?

**Blue ZX3** · 12-10-2008, 12:41 AM

To just use the std RR indicator, just copy over the img's and change the ext to jpg, or you can follow those directions and get a more functional indicator..

Thanks, sorry about all the questions.

For the more functional, can I add heading2 to the indicator text file? And the leave the existing heading alone?

Would this work for gps speed

L,408,4,101,25,255,255,255,16,#DFX1R#,#DFX1G#,#DFX 1B#,0,#DFXFont#,"GPSSPD","CENTER"

I copied the coordinates from my digitafx2.0 menu

Thanks again. I think this should do it.
I will leave the sat readio signal meter alone till the next release, same for youtube since I don't have my 3g card yet, just edge

I take it "/" in a skin file is a remark?

**Blue ZX3** · 12-10-2008, 12:59 AM

ya, just follow those directions...

I don't know what to tell you. It worked for me and no one else has ever mentioned that it doesn't work for them. It's possible that you have a non-standard path that's causing issues with the location of the indicators but I don't know.

The GPSSPD and GPSHDG labels are in the menu skins, and are 0 x 0 pixels, this way you do not see them.

They are there, asif you choose the menu layout option to show the speedometer, or the compass on the main menu, they have to be defined in the skin so the flash compass and speedo can use the variables to get the information.

If you want to actually see the labels, you can resize them and move them to where ever you want. Removing them from the menu skin, will prevent either the compass or speedo from working if you have them displayed on the main menu.
