Thread: Digital FX 2.0 Transparent Released

The font size is different between Menu and Menu2. I fixed it by editing the skin file.

Also, I noticed that the online and phoco indicators were missing from some of the music player skins and fixed that as well.

I've asked before, and I'm hoping that a Digital FX skin could be created for Sling Player. If you need a slingbox to test it on, I could assist with that. You can check out screenshots of slingplayer on my CarPC here: http://www.hyundai-forums.com/index....12685&hl=carpc and here: http://www.hyundai-forums.com/index....e=post&id=2359

Thanks,

By the way, this skin rocks!

That is something that slipped right through the crack with all the beta testing by everyone, and myself!

I guess that just means that not many people go to GPS from the music browser and music playlist screens. I don't because when I'm there I'm usually thinking about what songs to play next rather than where I'm driving. Even so, I'm surprised that somehow I never stumbled upon that bug in the thousands of button presses I've made in Blue Devil and DigitalFX.

Mute doesnt seem to have any indication of being mute or not.

Is it possible to have the Digital clock and the compass? I rember you gave me a patch to get rid of the clock in the BD skin, but I was still able to keep the compass. As far as CPU processing is concerned, the compass doesn't use a lot.

Ok, This installer has been a thorn in my side for sure! It's no one else's fault bu my own.

Ok I just fixed it, I installed it to the default location, changed the ini and had it install to drive H: and reinstalled to both locations to see if there were any issues with overwriting ect. It SHOULD be fixed now. I am sorry for all the bugs with this one!

Thanks,

I forgot all about the menu's being different, I was testing different fonts on the first menu, and never carried them over before it was released.

As for the sling box, I did a little research on them, and actually found an excellent price on one [url="http://www.buy.com/retail/product.asp?sku=203138984&loc=111"]HERE[ ($138 with free shipping)/URL]

I just do not have the money right now to invest in this, I wish I did, as it looks pretty kewl! If you can give me the specifications on it, and what key presses, window title names, and whatever I can see what I can do. It will be difficult without one here to test with, so all I can do is try.

In an upcoming version, I plan on making like 4-5 variations of the main menu screen, instead of just "Digital;" and "Analog". So stand by, and I will get it implemented as soon as I can.

consider this an advanced warning:



Thanks to an email from Steve bringing this to my attention, and some researching, the next version of the skin will disable video while the vehicle is in motion by default. Before anyone panic's here, it can be EASILY circumvented, and the instructions to do so will be in the Help File, but is something that you must disable yourself. There will not be a feature in the skin to enable/disable this feature, as that would completely defeat the purpose. This uses festy's plugin to accomplish this. The files will automatically be installed with the installer, registered, and custom screens matching the skin are completed.

The reason for this? Plain and simple, the law. ALL consumer in dash video devices, of any kind, sold in the US, disable video while the vehicle is in motion. Many with advanced gyros systems that are VERY difficult, if not impossible to overide. On top of that, almost all states already have laws on the books that make any video in the drivers vision while the vechicle is in motion, illegal. On top of that it's just not a good idea to be driving and watching your favorite movie or TV show, but that is od course, up to the end user to make that decision.

Even if you are being responsible, and say have a visualization running, law enforcement could still pull you over mistakenly thinking it was video. If you can show, at that time that it is not possible to play video while the vehicle is in motion, you stand a pretty good change of getting out of a ticket, either on the spot, or in court.

One more concern, in this day and age is liability. When someone uses this skin, I do not want to be the cause of any ticket's or, or God forbid, an accident. If someone is watching Video while driving using this skin, it will be because the user them self has overridden this safety measure, and not due to my negligence.

I forgot all about the menu's being different.

I'm confused by this one. The fonts on both my menus are the same.

Mute doesnt seem to have any indication of being mute or not.

I'm glad someone else is experiencing this. My mute button works but the red X does not appear.

The fonts look very similar (Fixed in next release), but if you switch back and forth between to the menu's you can see a small size and font change. (Indicators also fixed)

As for the mute indicators, I just went through EVERY screen, and I did find that it was not working on the applications menu (Fixed now). Other than that, it is working on all screens here. This is a hardware specific thing, based on what line you are using for audio ect. The indicator is for the Master Volume. If you are using wave volume or something else, and mute it, the audio will mute, but the mater mute is not activated, thus the indicator will not show. I have no way at all of testing this here, as both my machine and CarPC use the master mute.
