Ok, I have gotten quite a few PM's and posts about this, so I started making the logo's for the clock. Check out the 2nd post in this thread for instructions and downloads.

thanks for all you've done. I'll be sure to visit your site and make a donation. I couldn't read the entire thread but am very excited about moving over to bludevil. I am about to receive iGuidance in the next day or so.

I've been using the standard RR and i'm very please. this will be an awesome upgrade to an otherwise awesome front-end.

Thanks for the kind words! As for donations, there is no link or page. This skin was created for myself as a learning experience, and anyone else that can make use of it, then that's all the better! I do appreceiate the thought, but it is not neccessary. I followed the link in your signature, and that is a SWEET install! I'm glad you screwed up the bezel, as the Brushed Alluminium looks AWESOME! After looking at your pictures, and video, I went ahead and made a Cadillac Logo for the clock, so the skin will look more at home in that sweet install! (It's in the 2nd post of this thread with the rest of the Clock Logo's)

John,

how bout sharing with everyone what program you use to create the logos? this way the logos get done faster and are also available for everyone to share. Which brings me to thinking. What program/language did you create blue devil skins in? I'm not much of a programmer but if it's not too difficult i'd contribute to what you've started. As i'm sure others would also.

Hehehe I didn't create all the logo's from scratch! I used JPG's that I found through Google, and loaded them into photoshop. Then I duplicate the layer, and then delete the background layer. Then it's just a matter of removing all the background color. On some of them I applied either a Bevel & Boss, Crome, or a few other filter tweaks. Then I just drag the logo onto the "Blue Circle" thingy for the clock, and save it as a PNG.

As far as creating the skin, it really isnt a language forsay. It is an editor, you can find more about it HERE (If you download it, MAKE SURE to get pRoFiT's version, as it allows you to drag things around the screen)

for the games how on earth do you play the bowling game? its not in english and i can not figure it out.
for the shotgun game you cant turn off the games sound right? that would be nice if you could so you could keep hearing your music instead of that annoying shoutgun sound.
any chance someone could help me out with these issues or at least tell me the 411 for it? thanks

Hehe, yea the buttons are in English, but nothing else is The bowling is actually pretty simple, click new game, and then press and HOLD the GO button. The idea is to let off the button as close to the yellow area of the bar as possible. Getting it Right in the yellow area (the sweet spot) will score you a strike! DO NOT Try this while Driving!!!!!! Or it won't be just the bowling pins that you "strike"

As for the sound, I don't think it can be turned off. I did not write any of these games, they are just stuff I have found around the web, that I found to be Touch Screen friendly, so I made a skin for them and included them in the zip.

John,

I love this skin. When it comes to IG I'm a minimalist but I like to see what tune is playing.. so here is what I did. I also but a repeat/shuffle indicator on all the audio screens. Keep up the great work!

Please let me know if you'd like a copy of the changes.

Keep up the great work!
