Thanks John! I'm heading out to my Van to check it out now. One thing: You say the day/night stuff has not yet been implemented but I saw a youtube video that you posted showing it working. That is why I messed with it.

I am hoping to get this all working today. It has been a long while coming.

Check out my van @ this link if you are bored.

Well, they are "kind of working"

Meaning, that you can set a day color, and a night color. By returning to the screen, you can click on load day and load night to recall them.

What is not completed, is for this to be automatic. I have a script that will get your sun rise and set times from your GPS location. All that is left is for a way to trigger when this time occurs, without a script running 100% of the time to just look at the time.

Ok, I have everything that *I* use working so far. That would include mp3's, picture viewer, gps (iguidance 3.0), XM radio, DVD.

Two things I am still having an issue with.

Q: Is it still necessary to go through those 101 steps in order to get flash to work with less cpu hit? I used IE to go to adobes site and after uninstalling RR/ DFX3.0/ All flash and shockwave stuff, then installing adobe flash and whatever the other thing they have there to install, I then installed RR and then installed your skin. Got it all working however with nothing going on..eg, no music playing or anything loaded.. My CPU is at about 20%. If I load an mp3 it goes up to about 40% and if I load up iguidance it then climbs up to about 70%. I noticed that if I switch the flash clock around to a less complicated version it will drop it down quite a bit. I tried it with hardware acceleration down one notch and at full. No difference. ** Note: I am not having the 100% cpu problem. Just trying to get the 3% while playing mp3's that some people are posting. I have a celeron 2.4Ghz P4 with 1gb of ram. should be plenty yes? I am using onboard video though. Maybe that is it.

Q: No matter what I do I can not get the old logo back instead of a analog clock. I'll keep messing with it but I go to the dfx skin settings and choose the dodge chrome logo and it goes back to the menu still showing the clock. I used to have (and I loved) the dodge chrome logo with the flash clock around it and the compass underneath it. Kinda like this one except he has the digital clock instead of the analog hands around the logo like I had in dfx 2.5:


Except dodge. I can not get this back. I seem to be stuck with the big flash spinning logo or clocks.

P.S. I have read the help file and the first 27 pages of this thread. I am sure the answer was on page 28.

you have to change the menu layout to "stationary logo" ....then change the logo

Yes but then I lose the compass.

I am horrible at explaining things without creating more confusion so let me try again.

When I was running 2.5 I had a stationary dodge chrome logo in the center. Around said logo was an analog clock. (meaning it had a three clock hands around the logo.) And on the bottom under the logo was the compass. So three things.

When I change the layout I can either do logo with compass, stationary logo with digital clock or spinning logo. NOT (at least I have yet to find the magic combo) the stationary logo, the analog clock (hour/minute/second hands) with the compass under. Similiar to the picture I posted except he dodge logo and he has the digital clock on top of the logo, not the analog clock around it.

Not a big deal, just annoying that I can't figure it out. Everything else is working great for me. I don't even need a compass nor a logo for that matter. After dinner I will take a screen shot and try to post what I have.
