Digital FX 2.0 Transparent Released

**Mr_Civic** · 04-20-2007, 01:35 PM

John,

Just installed the 2.1 and even though I hadn't had any prior issues pertaining to Flash I'm happy to report that no issues arising from update.

BTW - integrating the traffic module was just what I needed driving Dade/Broward daily.

A couple of issues/questions:

1. The XM skin shows up with the old blue color regardless of the background chosen. Are you planning on making that skin transparent also?

2. Are you going to release the revised XM favorites PSD so we can change the icons around?

3. I see that Guino has added Firefox zoom capabilities to RR. It sure would be nice if we could zoom in and out through the browser skin.

OOPS! #1 is pRoFiTs Fault! hahahah! I made some changes to that skin, and had to put the JPG's in there so I could use the editor to see what I was doing. I forgot that one when I packaged up the release. It will be right in the next release.

#2 Yes, I will release the ON and OFF PNG's, that will actually make it easier, no having to deal with all of the individual buttons and such. It is transparent, so just load it into Photoshop and dump the station logo's you want to use on it, and save it back as a PNG.

#3 My plate is getting full again, It will to wait till I come back for 2nds

Will look into it and see how it works. I just dont know where I would put 2 more buttons on that screen!

As for the weather working or not, press and HOLD the GPS button on the main menu to bring up the Gas Price Finder. Then go to the weather and see if it works. If this is the case, you need to add "localdatacaptureinterval=1" to the rr.ini like I mentioned a few pages back. The "1" means the time interval in minutes that it will update your location with the GPS.

This means when you start RR, it will be 1 minute before that information is available for the GPS weather, or the labels on the GPS Status screen. You can force the data to load by simply going to the gas price finder skin if you need to.

Loving the weather maps of the usa, with the radar images which update through the gps.....any way or place that will sort out england and or europe for the same lay out which we can upload through the skin.

This would be excellent cos you dont need the net to look at it...and the gps works well

I got the GPS stats working fine now. For some reason Xport had reverted back to only one output. Chenged it back to two ports and it's all set! Thanks.

@Muldrick, it sounds like you may be having the same issue. Based on your description everything should be working.

RRConfig, set port to Com 6, compass works fine.
For some reason IG inside of RR won't work. IG works fine outside of RR.

Probably a silly suggestion, but do you have "enable service" checked on Xport?

Yes, enable service needs to be checked. That's one of the little issues that I've found with Xport. Sometimes it will enable itself, sometimes you need to manually enable it and sometimes it won't enable. Once it's enabled, though, it will stay enabled forever - rock solid. Just play with it and it'll work. If you can't get it enabled try redefining the com ports.

Hahaha I just noticed that you said that

I didnt know we were neighbors. I feel for you! I hate driving down there! If no one else knows, have a look at why

Great skin, John!

I've been away for a while but came back just in time to try out the new version. Got most things working, but one thing that isn't is the Image Viewer. When it starts I see:

<- BACK
< VIEW IMAGES >

instead of it just going to a picture. No problem, I pick VIEW IMAGES and the first image in my folder shows up. But then none of the buttons work. I can use the keyboard and it responds, but no joy with the onscreen buttons. Any idea why?

Thanks, Z

just reloaded my laptop after a crash,loaded your new version,cut and pasted add to and update to rr.ini and everying works great no flash problems no time lagging on start up which some people had 19 sec's or something,the skin actually works faster.

jpg images for the winamp plugings jump to file work and the same for cdrip.

i'm assuming that these will be a problem, as logic will say roadrunner had to be updated code for transparent to work so you would of thought the same for the plugins.

i also noticed traffic button set for the states any way of changing to uk ,
the only other problem i have is weather but i hav'nt read back in posts as of yet.
