Thread: Blue Devil Skin RELEASED

That was it, thanks man... While I'm here, I really want to do the reshacker mod on my IG but I've been reluctant to start without a specific look to achieve. Your skin is going to be my primary skin for a while, do you have the file of the hacks you did to make the IG menus integrate with the look of blue devil?

Yeah, you need to PM JustInTime and get him to make you an iG patch for your iG skin like he did for his Nexus iG skin. Is this in progress?

If you do that, consider making the white background that light blue color from the text on the buttons, that would really look slick.

One more request.

On the main player screen would it be possible to have a list of the songs instead of the oscilloscope?

Under way at the moment... I just have to finish a couple of the iG buttons to complete it, then will turn over to HustInTime, and hopefully he will be willing to do the hack for us.

That screen is basically the "visual" screen, and is intended just for the album art & visulizations. Now has the added option of having your GPS app embed into that area of the oscilliscope as well.
I have added a HIDDEN minize button to the top right of the screen. It will be in the next release. In the mean time, you can open up the menu.skin and menu2.skin and add the following line in the buttons section:
(NOTE: Code is in the latest release now)

Code:

B,652,2,144,111,"MINIMIZE",

The song list, for Cue'd songs is on the "Playlist" screen, and the browser screen is for selecting music from your library. Those 2 are the standard ones, I just added a "player" screen to have a large visulization/eye candy to look at while music is playing, and is not really even required.


On another note

LostReception just created a QWERTY Keyboard to replace the stupid Alphabetical one in iGuidance 3.0! Yeah! And, may I add, I was also the first one to skin it heheh. You can see a screen shot, and download the plugin in THIS THREAD. The Blue Devil keyboard screen shot is in the 2nd post.

I have also added a skin for GPSGasoline. The button is on the GPS screen, and replaces the "GO" button, of which functionality is now available with the pop-up menu, and is no longer needed. GPSGasoline support is hardcoded right into the latest RR build, and nothing else is required to DL or install. This will also be available in the next release in the nedt day or 2 as I continue to watch this thread for bugs/additions/suggestions ect....

Have any of you guys used this skin with PHOCO yet? I am pretty sure the skin is all working for it, but I don't have my phone set up for it right now, so can't test it here.

I noticed that, and I would be just fine with using the Playlist screen but it doesn't have the controls that the Main Player screen does. FF/RW, Progress bar, Volume, etc. Maybe I could fine a visualization that shows the playlist.

Phoco is my next screen to setup, I've been watching that RRmobile plugin as well, is that just a matter of redirecting the buttons to use that? I plan to use phoco to start but someday that RRmobile will most likely end up in the rr build.
I'll get back to y'all tonight with any bugs/questions.

I have one odd issue with GPS..
1: Open roadrunner, go to GPS - Iguidance shows embedded
2: return to menu, open GPS stats, this embeds
3: use the GPS shortcut, screen returns to GPS but only shows IG where the show GPS program was embedded.
4: go to any other screen and back to gps stats then back to GPS everything works fine, no problems after that.
5: close rr, I can't see my desktop where the gps stats would have been embedded, it shows the middle 1/3 of the menu.jpg. This won't go away, and show gps is still open in the taskmanager though not the taskbar.

EDIT - set close apps=true in RR general ini fixes 5 . I forgot that I did a clean install of the beta and lost all my settings. Still nothing on the other 4, not that they are major..

John -

Great work - I love everytime a skinner does new kewl stuff like LS, yourself here, Dynasty, Chuck all the great developers. There is so much to learn and when we can see examples its fantastic.

John I saw the IGQ post but just dloaded your latest work and still not sure where those keyboard skin files are? or should I get and place them from another location.

Please advise and thanks....
