But I guess it might be easier to see.

Only Issue I would see is the buttons would be too samll as you would only be able to use the IE ones.

Actually, as an experiment to make things "bigger" on the screen. I went into the accessibility section of XP and turned on the stuff for people with vision problems. Although the buttons in IE are not as user friendly as the ones in iDrive, they still are usable (even my fat fingers could handle them) when compared to the normal size in XP.

How does that affect the rest of the apps though?

All it seemed to do was to make fonts, text, icons, etc bigger wherever windows can control that stuff (i.e. on some web pages certain things can't be made bigger due to the web page design).

I actually played around with some of those settings (making text bigger, making scroll bars bigger, etc) manually to help with making things bigger and more touchscreeen friendly. The accessibility function does it all though. Give it a try, you can always turn it off if you want ang go back to the XP defaults.

Just tried it, it had a strange effect on the Satellite count from FreeDrive.

So Enforcer, maybe your magic touch at this kind of things

would make a green version look good...

The main menu is decent, but the audio browser is another story...

o you are saying you just want the Orange bits to go green.

Any particular shade of green?

I'm still not able to navigate the main menu via the arrow keys. I've changed the res to 800x480 though - could that be why?

**Enforcer** · 03-07-2006, 07:03 AM

I just tried it in 800x480 (changed the settings in general.ini of the iDrive skin) and it was fine.

for some reason the keys don't seem to work in the exit menu though

**DarthTater** · 03-07-2006, 09:00 AM

Hmmm. Actually, I just checked and I can't use the arrow keys on the main menu of any skin!? Something in my setup has gone bunko apparently. I'll try a clean installation of RR, I guess, unless you have a suggestion on where the problem might be. Thanks!
