Any tips would be cool.

Cheers.

Add this to your Exectbl.ini:

"GPS", "Load;Freedrive_Music_GPS.skin:RUN;c:\Program Files\Freedrive\Freedrive.exe;Freedrive"

And put this in your skin folder in a file called Freedrive_Music_GPS.skin:

Code:

MEDIACAR Skin

Please note that I have reused the IGuidance music skin and some of the code doesn't exactly match the buttons but this was just a quick workaround for me to play with (the most confusing being the home button in the lower left now sets FD to navigate to your home and the return button in the top right get you out of FD back to your previous DFX screen). Secondly, I added code to swap the label at the top between your music trackname/current location/destination address whenever you hit the "Auto Config" button. Also note press and hold items.

couple of samples that are almost done.

should be done in an hour or so....sooo sooo many screens.

It seems like it should be there, especially because in most of those skins the album art isn't visible. It's no big deal if you have a reason because I can edit the skins manually, but I thought I'd point it out in case it was an oversight.

Also, I thought I'd remind you that you're using a different font at the top of menu 2, which has been previously mentioned, and let you know that you're also using a different font at the top of the minimized GPS skin, which I don't think anybody has yet mentioned.

I will add the extra tags for the next release. I will also check the font and see where I forgot to fix that at

Those screen look really nice! Please do not take any offense to this, but I think you should start a new thread in the skin forums. It is just so different than the DigitakFX skin, its not even related I REALLY like the look, and think it would make a great skin for sure!

If I may jump in here John in regards to the errors some of us are encountering using your installer.

Being a newbie, I need to get a custom to all these gadgets. Anyways, I've been receiving the same errors listed time and time again on the installer when trying to install the Red. I installed the blue version with no problems at all. Do you need to first install the blue version, then the other screen versions? Could this be why some of us are receiving those errors? If not, I guess it's just a freak of nature.

Of course I didn't read the manual but the blue version I d/l'ed (yesterday) I did not see any logos in the folder. Do I need to get them separately?

Thanks for not flaming, errr hoping!

Ok, I wont flame you TOO bad

The installer in question is the the whole Brushed Metal skin a page or so of posts back. Give that one a try and let me know if it works for you. When I get that working, I will update all the colors of the skin with the installer.

As for the logos, that is in the help file. Go to the second "main menu" and choose settings. From the list on the right, choose the logo you want to use, and click change.

NOTE: As mentioned in the help file, you must .exe to the music file types in the RR config utility. This is soon to be fixed, as Guino just released a beta that will allow the skin to determine the file types. Down go download it just yet though, it appears to have messed up something with the internal RR clock. With the Beta the time looks like "9:10Am?R0A1?"

He will probably fix this very soon.

Will give it a shot in a few hours.

I did go there, clicked on DigitalFX settings and choose the logos directory but the directory is empty on the skin (I went to that directory using explorer and the files are there)??!?!?

Unless I set this (which I don't recall doing so) or it's a default in RR, I didn't touch anything and as soon as I loaded the skin, bam my mp3' were playing; if it ain't broke, don't touch it..
