**btbe** · 06-29-2005, 05:09 AM

Hi guys,

a while ago I started creating a Skin inspired by the BMW I-driive...
I think within the next days it will be ready for a beta test... and I think in about 2 weeks first version will be avalible!

Version 1 will include:
-Menu
-Entertainment
->Audio
->Video
->DVD
->Radio
-GPS
->Destinator
->External GPS
-Car Data
->Car PC Status
-Communication
->PhoCo
-External Applications
-Settings
->RRConfig
->Appearance
-->Skin Browser
-->Gamma
->Mixer
->Equalizer

If you want to beata test the skin, just send me a PM and I'll send you the DL-Link within the next days....and as I said for the rest of the world it will be avalible in about 2 weeks!

Here are some preview pics:

Can I suggest a "empty" skin to embed apps, so we can put, for example, an OBD software embeded in the Car Info section...

Also, I would remove the Exit button to inside Settings menu... I dont think most people want to "exit" the frontend very often, mostly to copy files and stuff, so maybe we can hide it a bit further?

Also, how are you planning on making the GPS screen? I'm very interested since the screen for GPS on iDrive is pretty cool, fromwhat I recall it is kind of "split screen" with the buttons on one side, and the map on the other. I would suggest you mak it that way, with an option for going "full screen", like Zots did on his skin with iGuidance, and I made a freedrive patch to control FreeDrive instead of iGuidance. it is pretty cool cause you can have a "menu view" and a "full view"
