I think that the longer we are up, the better coding we do...

Great work John, as usual, and I am looking forward to the latest release! I think I may have to hit the donate button again as well. I have not posted in a while but have been lurking here and there.

Maybe I missed this, but are you also able to change the font color of the text on the buttons as well? This would be really nice since at night, changing the text from white to say amber would cut down on the screen brightness at night.

No, Lostreception's LSXVoid skin is by far the best. No, wait a minute, with these changes, DigitalFX will definitely be the best. But, wait a minute, with just a few more improvements by Lostreception, LSXvoid will be better. Of course, all John has to do is add a couple more things and DigitalFX will definitely be the best. Unless, of course, Lost Reception adds a a couple more things, in which case there will be no doubt that LSXVoid is the best ... (insert evil grin here)

No, that is something that has not been incorporated yet. It shouldnt be to hard to do a search and replace on the menu.skin and change to a different color. I went with white to begin with, as it will show up against any of the colors better. If I did a amber text, it would not show up well with the burlwood background for instance.

Actually the LSX Void skin is done by Liquid_Smoke! I hope he doesn't see that post hahahh.

And its actually funny that you brought that up. We chat on a daily basis for hours on end while working on the skins. I know of a few secret things he is working on, and he knows a few of my secretes. We are constantly bantering ideas back and forth, and helping work through how to do things. When we found out about the new RR having the ability to change the background color with a Hex color code, we were both working color pickers at the same time. I did mine one way, and he went another route, and were sharing ideas the whole time....

Its actually as he definitely has the 2nd best Road Runner Skin

And thats what makes it so cool. Both of out skins are done in a different style, with just about the same features. But it gives the end user that many more choices.

And on a side note, It was his skin that I first installed in my CarPC a few years ago, and stuck with it till the day I started working on my first skin.

I don't know if many of you remember this, but this is what LS's first skin looked like:

And here of course was my first one:

Suffice it to say, we have both come a long ways since then! Hahahah I just noticed that! The pink radio... what was I thinking?! hahahahha

Yes, I remember it all John. Your's was called Blue Devil back then, wasn't it?

I actually knew that. Though I generally make great effort to proof-read before posting, I have an excuse this time, You see, Wifey dragged me to a horse show in Devon, PA this weekend. Wifey is very interested in horses so she watches horses at horse shows. I'm not very interested in horses so I drink massive quantities of beer at horse shows. Occasionally, while consuming said massive quantities of beer, I also post on mp3car.com from my parked car. Because I just loaded iGuidance 4.0, I was exploring whether the QWERTY keyboard mod would work for that (didn't Lostreception do that mod?), had his name on my brain when I posted, and made no effort whatsoever to proof-read. Many apologies, LS. (I think I should get a Mulligan under the circumstances. What say the group?)

Look forward to seeing it in action @ the meet.
