Blue Devil Skin RELEASED

**spjuenger** · 10-02-2006, 09:47 AM

This is one GREAT skin, keep up the good work.

I got one for ya. The confirmation page in IG has black text and is almost unreadable with the dark blue background. Is it possible to change this to white text? Oh, and everyone asks why the GPS shows a red car instead of my black truck, lol. Again keep up the great work.

I don't see how this can be skin related but I can't find any other solution so here goes. When I am on the guidance screen, with the patch installed and I select POI nothing happens, but if I then select any of the other popups and exit out of them the POI screen is there where it should be.?? All the other popups work fine if I use them first, just the POI hides.

In other news, what's the timescale on releasing the PSD'd at least to the main menu? I'd like to re-order the buttons on Menu1 and Menu2 according to my hardware at the current time. Beyond that, this is the skin to use for me, I haven't seen a nicer one in 2 years.

Yeah, Google Earth is what I was reffering to... All the fancy front ends aside, nothing says wow like a satellite image view of driving.

oh, the IG patch: I have tested it as well with IG3, works great for me. More testing to do however.

I would like to get started on modding the PSDs too!
When might we expect them to be available?

Great work!!!
a couple of things I'm trying to fix,how do you get MPC to start full screen instead of 2.35:1 ratio and automaticaly restart last video from where it stoped?
I can't figure out gps status using your skin John, do you have some info?
Thanks

Ok, Sorry for the delay in getting back to everyone, was out of town for a few days on a road trip. I did actually get to East Tennessee and it was beautiful!

I will try to put the PSD's together for the menu screens in the enxt couple days. BE WARNED, I am not the best person in organizing such things, and the layers aren't in the best order ect, but it is workable.

For video resolution, click the button labled "16:9" in the lower right of the video screen to change the aspect ratio. As for resuming from the last position, that is a RR.ini setting.

I will try to work on the iGuidance confirmation problem here soon as well. I honestly saw that a while back, and simply forgot to go in and fix it. As for the "Red Car" heheh sorry, I had reshacked iG to match my car ect. To change the car icon is pretty simple, do a search on the forums for "reshack" and you should find lots of tutorials on how to do it.

thanks for the reply John, but I'm trying to set the default to full screen but when I launch it from the dvd button it defaults 2.35:1

**JohnWPB** · 10-04-2006, 01:34 AM

Hmmm I'm honestly not sure what that could be. I can say I don't think it is a skin specific issue. Try another skin, and see if it reacts the same way.

On the video player, it "remembers" what setting I used last, even after closing and restarting Road Runner. I am not sure if this is a setting somewhere or not.

Alright, got a strange problem with your skin. I've been swearing at the thing for over an hour and can't get it to work right. My problem is with the GPS part, I use Destinator (MapMonkey and FD both, depends I guess on the skin I'm using), and it works fine. I also have iG3, which works fine. Now, when I use your skin, it defaults to iG3, which I don't like as much, so I changed the link on the GPS button to use FD instead, using the line in your readme file. I read the line a couple times to make sure it pointed to the right application and everything, but for some reason, it still launches iG3, even with no references to it on the menu.skin file. Any ideas would be great, this one is stumping me, maybe I'm just having a slow week.

Hmmmm not sure... but did you check Road Runner config, to see what is listed in there as the default GPS program?

EDIT: OH! Duh, I forgot... way back when I placed a line in the ExecTbl.ini file in the blue Devil Skin directory, to whenever "GPS" is called, to load iGuidance. Try removing that line from the ExecTbl.ini file, and see if that takes care of it.
