/F10,295,127,212,265,"clock.swf"
in the menu.skin file.
The volume button problem is very strange!!
The blue button indicates that the volume down is pressed... I can't figure out the reason!
Is it always in that way? or just after some actions?
Let me know.
...another thing... I see the play counter smaller than how it should be... did you change something in the .skin file? ...or is it a bug? if it is so.. has anybody else got the same problem?

First off, i love what you have going here it look great.
But i'm having a really tough time following which patch to apply. I went through the whole thread and applied every patch i found, but after i was done i got errors. rr.exe wouldnt even run, and roadrunner.exe (the one you altered im assumnig?) opened as a slim verticle pink color bar that wouldnt respond.
I narrowed it down to your last update patches yesterday. Up until think (i think) everything works fine for me.
Any plans on uploading a new all-inclusive beta release with everything we need to run your skin properly?
I'm going to try to slog thru this entire thread again, but i was just gonna check what your plans are.
Thanks dalailama! very nice work

Does your last cumulative patch include absolutely all the changes you've made? If so, i guess i just need to go through the ini's and .skins to make sure the links point properly.

Also, another question. What is the point of the roadrunner.exe as opposed to the original rr.exe?
Also, the GDI.dll, why does that have to be registered and what does it do (fix?)?
Sorry for all the questions, just trying to catch up on 30 pages :P

OK, I'm sorry to induce you in error...
The RR.exe included in the patch is the SAME of the last RR.exe released by Guino, it requires the GDI dll, I included it in the patch because this skin doesn't work with previous RR release... (but will work with the next releases!)
I don't know why Guino decided to change the name from RR.exe to RoadRunner.exe or vice versa... but it is the same, you can change the name to what you want... but remember to change every link you use to run Road Runner to let it point to the right file

.
The problem you hade (the pink stripe) is due to an incorrect installation of the new RR release...
to fix it you have to:
1 - register the dll
2 - add the string FASTMODE=-1
...but I wrote all in the instruction file you can find in the cumulative patch
follow those step and it will work

...if it doesn't let me know it, please

Let me know.

Ooops, meant to mention, it was pressed in that screenshot. I thought it looked funky when pressed and was different from the way it looked in previous versions. In this one, you can barely see the arrow when pressed and I thought in previous versions the arrow changed when pressed instead of background changing.

I thought that was something you had planned. I kinda like it...

**Dalailama** · 05-09-2007, 07:09 PM

ah ah!! I thought it was a bug

the new style depend on the different way RR has to draw the layer for down, on, off.
...but let me know.... do you really miss the volume down icon when you are pressing with your finger the button on the touchscreen?

this effect is the same for all the buttons...
BTW the previous skin used to have quite the same effect... I think...I'll show you a shot of the previous one...
...and for the count player... can you post your menu.skin please? ...I need to know

...

P.S.:Comparing the two images I realized how awful the old skin was!!! Was it really me the one who made this thing?

**walstib** · 05-09-2007, 07:56 PM

I only noticed the button because I was using the mouse instead of touchscreen when testing the skin. BTW, I have to say again, GREAT work!

I think it's the same one from Setup tools exit.zip, which was the last patch I applied. I did not edit it.

...I beleve in you... but it's strange... try overwriting this file:

**walstib** · 05-10-2007, 07:38 AM

Hmmm. Timer is right, but volume numbers are black now...

Something says to me that you didn't apply all the patches I released :

Uh Uh Uh, You didn't say the magic word !

:

you've got some old files... in particular bottomvolume.skin, but please download the cumulative patch I posted some posts before... you can find it also at the first post...
it will solve that sort of problem.

**walstib** · 05-10-2007, 03:23 PM

That did it! Thanks!

**Dalailama** · 05-10-2007, 07:27 PM

...it's not completed, but I think you can use it...
...in future I'm planning to add some features... the two buttons at the bottom on the right doesn't do anything at the moment.
Report bugs, please
