Thread: iDrive Night Red 2.17 Released

Good work E.! One thing though...you really should change the purple in the menu buttons...

Nice work - I'd like a customer logo, something for my Subaru Liberty B4.

I'll post a pix of it here and on the site you recommended possible on Monday when I have better net access.

Cheers
Kosti

Nope IT STAYS.


BTW what do you think of the green night preview?

I wasn't thrilled about that either. So I've changed it to red. But now the entire skin is too much red. I'm gonna try it with another colour.

That's why it's purple.

In fact when it's in the car at night it looks blue.

I have put it in the car today. Looks allright but it's a little bit too red on my Lilliput. It needs a little bit more yellow. I've tried changing the RGB value of the screen. I can get it right that way but then the day skin looks weird greenish.

So I was thinking of changing it a little bit. I should be easy since the colour of the labels now simply is #fore#. So if I change this #fore#-colour they all change, right? Then I just have change the RGB or Hue value of the screens using a batch program and I'm ready. But where are the values of this #fore#-colour? I can't find them.

top.skin

bottom.skin

bottomfull.skin

fulltop.skin


plus a few individual screens have them as well.

Found them! However I don't have a "fulltop.skn" file? I've changed the other 3 and it seems to work. Just put it in the car and now it matches the dash lights perfectly. Here are the values, maybe they are usefull:

-On the screens I've changed the Hue to +6
-The colour of the labels I've changed to 223,67,23

I also have redone the sidebars again since I didn't really liked them red. Now I just made them grey. This way the skin doesn't look all red and the grey matches the red nice. (sorry for the purple ones but I really didn't like them )

Other changes I've made so far:

-Changed the behavior of the BMW logo from "Minimize" to "Dayskin" (and "Nightskin" for the day version)
-Added "Minimize" button in the exit menu
-Changed the layout of the Radio screens display so it works a little better with the HQCT

Something I'm gonna change is replacing a button I don't use a lot (don't know wich one yet) in the iGuidance GPS screen by "Day/Night". Since day and Night are two different commands for iG I'm planning to devide one button in two halfs. So when you press left it's Day and right it's Night. This way I don't need two different buttons for it.

I just wanna say that it's not I don't like the skin because I always start changing it the moment I have it. I like it a lot! Thank you for it.
I just change some little things to make it a little more to my taste. And I also learned my lessons now. So there isn't gonna be a "Play Screen" with spectrum analyzer anymore since I didn't use it. Also the BMW logo stays in place this time because I hardly ever used the functions of the iDrive button I've made before. Also everything I change this time I do it in notepad so I don't mess up the functionality of the config program.

This said there is only one little bug I wanna show you. When in the Audio Player on the album art there sometimes is a black spot. When you open a folder and start to play it it isn't there but when you exit RR and reopen it it's there. See pic: (btw, this is the new colour I've made)



Any idea? This is in both the night and day version.

Hi,
the sidebars in gray are looking good. Have you changed every skin?
