Another request I have is that the Gas Price Finder screen is only accessible from the iGuidance screens, and some of us aren't running iG. Could you move that or add it to another menu somewhere? Thanks,Z

Zogg, SORRY, looking back, I somehow missed your question in my last post....
I actually planned it that way, so Please PM me right after you do another install in the car, so I can release the next update

Hehehhe Sometimes things just seem to just work like that....

As for the GPS Gas, I never even really thought about that! Honestly, I cant think of anyone else in the thread saying they are using something other than iGuidance, so I somehow just got on a one track kinda thing.

I didnt know where to squeeze that button in somewhere, so I put it in the best place I could think of. In the next release, if you Press and HOLD the GPS button on the main menu, it will bring up the GPS Gas screen.

Secondly, why is that the speed and direction on clocks (GPS Info) is mostly incorrect. Like today, I was driving at 45 mph and it was showing 80 mph

.

Thirdly, when I open the "Browser" screen, all I see is a toolbar on top. Do I need to change some settings to integrate IE in it ?

Is there a way you can integrate something like Net Hopper (an app that can connect to stongest wireless signal automatically) and show internet status on the skin ?

I'm not sure which screen you say when you mean the "Full one" as there are now 3 different screens. But, I did just try each one, and can not seem to duplicate the problem here.

For the browser, check your rr.ini file, and look for the line:
browserpath=C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE

If you do not have that line, copy and paste that one into the rr.ini and all should be ok.

As for the speed indicator, I wish my DASH would do that, I wouldnt get so many darn speeding tickets!

I am not sure what is causing that. I beleive Tissy has both a KPH and a MPH version of the clock, but the one I have in the skin is the MPH version, and it reads correctly in my car.

BOOO!! down with IE, firefox all the way. If your on a mac for some reason, use AleFox!
firefox is safer than IE and better etc etc

and the clock MPH guage, works for me to, it shows correct speed

The JPGS for the imageviewer skin I believe are incorrect for DOWN, OFF, ON. I also checked the jpgs from the latest download.

I don't use IGuidance so I can't say but judging from the reviews it must be GOOD!

I should have my copy of MS Streets 2007 today or tomorrow, so I'll work on that. The Streets skin file has a few mistypes in the entries, a comma and the OFF, ON entry for the JPGS screens.

I noticed that in the screens Weather, Streets (External_GPS), audio "player", GasFinder, ImageViewer that the Red mute indicator doesn't show when activated, I checked the files and they seem to me to be correct. When I was in the audio player screen and activated the mute, it didn't show but in the same screen and went to browse, etc it shows up. Checked the other screens and it shows.
I'm wondering if it has something to do with external programs being called inside RR??

You are 100% correct, the images were incorrect! That was one of the first skins I created, right after the main menu skin. In fact, I couldnt locate the PSD for it, so I had to re-do the 3 images for that screen. I can't believe it made it this long before someone realized it, good catch! I also did some tweaking to the list font color, and background colors.
Ok, I FINALLY found the problem with the mute indicators!!!!! They are supposed to be INDICATORS and NOT Buttons. The code looked ok to me MANY times, when I looked at it..... I corrected it on all of the skins, and now the mute will work correctly on all of the screens.

I agree 100%! I use Firefox myself. I just used that as that is the "stock" program that EVERYONE has if they are using windows, and what was in mind when Road Runner was created. I will leave it up to the individual user to make the smart choice and DUMP IE

Thanks John..

On the Streets and Trips skin.
I redid the Exit button (next to the Menu) to make it for Gas Price finder for now. I like the idea of it being in the area of the GPS screen.
You might make a blank or generic GPS skin/ jpgs with the Menu, volume, etc at the bottom kinda like the streets&trips without the sendkeys at the top..

Last, on the main menu, you added the labels for GPSSPD and GPSSAT, but not for GPSHDG (compass). Does yours work without this??

**Tups** · 11-02-2006, 12:12 PM

here is my menu
I mooved music down because I have motorised screen and when holding hand on shift knob button is right there. that is the most used one.
sat radio I dont have so that is on 2 menu.

Well, I was planning a grey version but 1). the updates come out so fast it is hard to keep up, 2). the blue skin is starting to grow on me 3). it is easier to just use the blue one. Maybe Che420 is thinking the same way.
btw, comment #1 was not a complaint but rather a compliment.
