Blue Devil Skin RELEASED

**Xero** · 10-05-2006, 01:18 AM

Yeah I dropped FD under default program *and* map monkey path, and then tried it on all the different modes (Map Monkey, External, Menu, etc) and it still launches iG with the normal iguidance.skin

Basically I erased all traces of iG as far as roadrunner was concerned, which didn't help. It's almost as if the unedited menu.skin is cached and reloaded every time I start Roadrunner, even though it is edited.

I'm honestly not sure what could be causing that, Just make sure you check the ExecTbl.ini File in the BLUE DEVIL folder, NOT the main RR folder.

Ok, the TV tuner skin is completed. That was the last piece of the puzzle to complete the base skin, so I'm taking the skin out of Beta.

I also completed the skin for MapPoint. Check the first post for the new download, as well as fixed/additions ect.

Here's a screen cap of the TV screen:

JohnWPB,

Love your Blue Devil skin. And looking forward to getting the PSDs!

Here is another BLUE DEVIL:

The Eastern Blue Devil is often seen by SCUBA divers on various parts of the east coast of Australia. A beautiful but elusive fish.

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you John. I had the same problem while on vacation loading the Freedrive with the Blue Devil skin. Removing the IG line from the ExecTbl.ini "DOES" fix the problem. It now loads as it should. I need to look at the Freedrive screen within RR the only buttons working for me right now are the zoom in and zoom out.
For instance the 3D button does not switch the viewing mode. Obviously I can pull up the menu within Freedrive and change it. I was just trying the side buttons. I need to look at the function call for that button mapping and see if I can pin the issue down. Great work on the skin, I am loving it so far...soon I will have to start customizing it with my toyota symbols but functionality comes before asthetics every time.

Thanks again for all of your hard work.

Thanks again for all of your hard work.

When you say "Side Buttons", it sounds like you are using the iGuidance skin to embed FreeDrive into. None of the buttons will work in that case (Except the "Zoom" keys, as iGuidance and Destinator both use the up and down arrows to zoom in and out).

You have to use the ""FreeDrive.skin", which is basically an "empty skin" that the FreeDrive Application embeds into. Check out the "ReadMe.txt that is in the BlueDevil.zip, and it tells you what files need to go where to make it all work correctly.

Go into RoadRunner Config and add .m4a under audio file types.

SangreDeThor: Welcome to the Forums! I am glad to see that your first post in the forums was in response to this skin! Hopefully I, or someone else here can help you. If the above response does not help, let us know, and I am sure one of us will be able to help.

Thanks TimyM, as I was not quite clear what he was asking, and you seem to know. I may be a minority here, but 100% of my music (19,400 songs) are in NON DRM MP3 format. When it comes to other formats of music with RR, I don't have a clue on what to do or suggest!

Most of my tunes are Lossless in .flac format and using a plugin for winamp, they play just fine

Hey John - you haven't forgotten about getting the PSDs ready for us have you?
