Thread: Blue Devil Skin RELEASED

Here's a Zipped files of MY MS Streets.
Setup RR for external GPS and then in the main menu address the Button as "GPS". There's a screen capture of the RR config setup for GPS and streets. The skin files are somewhat close to John's just revamped a little and added GasPrice finder to the skin and also have a keyboard button using MS XP osk for input do as you wish.

The execTBL.ini file in the Blue Devil skin folder.
THis changes the External GPS to call Streets.

John you might want to add these for your Streets, but tell the user that the external GPS skin is actually the MS_Streets skin..

Forgot the screen pic as reference;

Yes John, Streets works as well as you can expect from a MS product. Still working on auto GPS start and to set a default larger font size (other than the micro font used), an embedded larger keyboard.

I went the route of setting RR config and ExecTBL.ini to external GPS.

What I'm working on now with WinInspector, is when you setup a Map file and save it, then call that map file along with MS Streets. That should give you a default map type, font. etc.

John,

Earlier in this thread you asked users to give suggestions about future features so I'm going to accomodate that request. Here are two features that would be really neat IMHO. Mind you, I have no idea how to code or how RR and the skin are designed, so I therefore have no idea how difficult it would be to implement these.

1. Utilize Winamp "Jump To" Command: I have often wondered why searching for songs is so awkward in RoadRunner in light of the powerful "Jump To" feature available in Winamp. In Winamp you can initiate the command, type all or part of the artist, song name or a combination of the two and all the songs in the current playlist that match the criteria appear in a box. You can then simply select the version of the song you want. For example, I could type Bea Octopus, and all my versions of Octopus's Garden by the Beatles in the open playlist would appear. I could then select the one I want to listen to. This is really very quick, easy and powerful. Any reason why the "jump to" feature couldn't be included in RR/BD?

2. Click Album Cover to Load Album: My main playlist includes about 20,000 songs, which I usually play randomly. Often when a song comes up I'll see the album cover and think that I'd really like to hear that whole album. To hear the album I have to go into browser, find the album and then load it, which is time consuming and awkward while driving. Would it be possible to have the entire album load into the playlist simply by clicking the album cover? Since the album cover is a jpg in the folder in which the songs are located, it seems like a command could be included that loads into the playlist all the music files that are in the same folder as the album cover.

Can anybody tell me what the "Toggle Names" button does? It doesn't seem to do anything when I click it. I've looked through this thread and the help file and didn't see anything on it. Thanks.
