I checked the .skin and it says 3 and i even copied over the working skin folder and still same problem. I cant figure out whats different between the two systems, when i find out I will let you guys know

That is STRANGE, and when you start looking for Gremlins

This is the first report of this, and you even hav it working on another system, so that unfortunately pretty much narrows it down to your CarPC. I am at a loss to even try to guess what it could be.

Ok, I was never really with the ShowGPS program for the gauges, so I did some searching. HappyG made some AMAZING flash gauges, and released the source code. I altered the colors and such to match the Blue Devil skin, and vreated a new skin. It will be available in the next skin release here soon.

Here is a preview Pic:

damn! thts hot!, so does that mean we dont need showGPS for the next release?

**JohnWPB** · 10-21-2006, 12:12 AM

Thats EXACTLY what it means.

The advantages are this is FREE, And no external applications is needed.

@JohnWPB

Okay I got my CPU usage down this is the thread that helped me.
http://www.mp3car.com/vbulletin/show...372#post948372

Now, Main menu screen how does the Compass, MPH receive it's info?
Do you an autoit script for flash? I don't use export gps I have the ports set 2,3,4 and they work in other screens not seeing it here.

Also in the Phoco screen the SMS and details are not working correctly for me. I noticed that in the down/off/on jpgs that the is no highlighted buttons an I can't find the detail jpgs.

Glad you figgured that part out. The clock gets it information from Road RUnner. If you have the GPS port set up in RRConfig, the clock gauges should work. Unfortunately, I still have a few things to finish up on the Phoco side of things. It is one of the most insane applications to skin, than you could ever think up or immagine! Take a look at THIS THREAD and you will see what i mean!

Ok, I just created an "XM Favorites" screen. Right now it has MY favorites on it. If someone want's I can put the PSD"s up, so anyone can make their own. It's pretty easy, as all ya need to do is copy the logo's from the Road Runner/XM Logos or Sirius Logos directories, and paste them on the buttons ect.

....just two screens. I got a Slvr the other day and thought this would go good in my audi with red......but i'm working on two versions red/blue....very basic and still very rough.

**JohnWPB** · 10-22-2006, 04:12 AM

That looks really good! Clean looking, & simple. I like the red also, if it were blue however, it would then match my Razr

**miwise** · 10-22-2006, 09:01 AM

Does your skin show somewhere whether repeat/shuffle are turned on/off (an led graphic or icon)? Thanks!

BTW, when I come out of the equalizer (using the home button) the player says that audio is muted, but its not (probably b/c the 2 buttons are in the same positions on the screen). LOVE the skin, though. IMO, best I've tried.

**che420** · 10-22-2006, 10:11 AM

Once finished any interface that is graphical will remain....anything i can use text for i'll try to. My goal was just to take this kick-a$$ skin and get it to match my audi. But i liked the minimal lines of the motorola phone. and i'm building the blue/red skins at the same time. the only thing i've found is its not very good to use during the day.
