How about this for the start of a day version?

Yep I have "MyColor" I was looking to match it as best as possible. I also have Nexus gauges in my car and they are the same color blue. My raptor shift light has blue LED's, and all my switches have blue LED's. So I am trying to keep everything 1 color scheme.

BTW the Amp deal we spoke about earlier. I was able to confirm that there are 4 amps in the car. 1 for each front sub in the kickpanels, and 2 in the truck for the rears. So it looks like I only have to do my amp for the speakers only, the wiring harness I showed you has a 5V input to signal on the amps and the RCA runs to all of them.

I like that. I might using something like that and play around a bit with the background color for my day skin.... I do think the blue is going to be a bit hard to read, but with louvers over the side windows, and dark tint (going on soon), it may not be that bad.

Glad to hear you got the amps figured out, that harness will sure make things easy. Can't wait to see some pictures of your build as you seem to be a perfectionist like myself. I've been looking through your site and considering purchasing the tubular control arms for the back suspension. The factory piece's are very heavy looking.

I think your blue theme will read great at night but in the day may be a little harder, only one way to find out though is to finish the install and try it out.

Shoot me a message before you order anything, I can offer you better prices on some stuff than what we have on the website!

Works out of the box!

Much, much better in daylight.

BTW, which FM module are you using?

**blk02si** · 06-06-2007, 11:41 PM

I am using the HQCT module. It works great so far, no issues what so ever. I am using the software program by a member her who goes by the name Putput. Day skin is much better in the day. Just tested it out today and yes - big difference in visibility. Long Live RR!!!!!!

Hope everyone who downloaded is enjoying the skin! I am going to continue to work on this skin and version 3.0 will have the GDI transparency implemented. This will be similar to the digitalFX skin as that you will be able to use any color, photograph, design etc. as your background and the bottons will be overlayed on your art transparently. This will be added to the 'SET' menu that is already in the skin. Not sure on the ETA of version 3.0 as I have to learn the GDI code first.

I am also considering attempting an optimized version or RR.exe specifically for this skin. I downloaded the newest source and opened it up in VB6 to look at the code. I'm not sure how it will build if I remove some things but most software coding is trial and error, at least in my experiences.
