Thread: hAv1c and hAv1cPlus Skin release - 800 x 480 (Transparency, custom font color)

for those that haven't dl'd the skin yet, the "day night" button on the screen above is inactive for now. It will be implemented in a future release. To switch to your day or night skin, the active button is in the skin browser screen.

@treetop777 - I was showing this thread to someone and they wanted to know where you got your "2 Swirl.jpg" from. PM me about it. Also did you try out the custom color chooser yet?

[note to self]download some better backgrounds[/nts]

Anything that someone would change?

Glad to see it's been well received so far.

thanks YvesG for the vote, anything that could be done to make it better?

(he's only got one post from three months ago, so he probably won't reply...)

I was thinking of making context sensitive menus so that from the main screen if you click menu the menu shows something different in place of MUSIC, VIDEO, and GPS (since that's just sitting right next to it. but if you're in the audio screen and click menu, it will show menu items related to that (VIDEO and GPS would show, but not MUSIC since that's the menu you're already in)

Those buttons may evolve into that actually.

I'm going to look into the whole ilist thing too, so that maybe in the works as well...

I love that the two "Hate It" Votes so far were from people that never post, the second one (Stormbringer) hasn't posted since '02.

If you vote hate it, please let me know why so that I can make improvements.

You could improve the poll by having less extreme choices


I don't Love it, I don't Hate it however it's better than OK.

I think you did some fast work with the text colour chooser and new custom sliders, I'm also playing around with that but have run into some problems as I am tring to do some different things with it.

Wow looks really well done monkeyracer, DL now to test it out and take a look at your color changer code, this is something I want to implement into my skin.

Very nice layout, easy to use and easy on the eyes, and an amazing archive size, overall I give it 5 out of 5 stars for an automotive UI.

few things:

Make sure you have a background folder with images in it, and that it's referenced in the rr.ini at picspath = ...

The version that was archived may not have had any info under the color.skin, open this up in notepad and add the following lines:

/DEFINE FRed 255
/DEFINE FGreen 255
/DEFINE FBlue 255

once you have the fonts showing correctly, open road runner again and go to menu, then settings then background, then select a background and click go.

The download package will be updated with the correct color.skin file to prevent the invisible font issue, and the background path will be better explained in the readme file.
