I am going to be downloading this later tonight. This is exactly what I wanted, very simple, GPS, Music, and Video!

with some colors the buttons do lack a little depth, any ideas of how to make them more 3d, but still use labels so i can change the colors? also, in your screenshot, did you change the fronts for the labels? in my shots they are the Tranjan Pro font, that may be the issue.

Could you post that Trojan Pro font, please.

Will this be able to play a cd from the cd drive without it being switched to mp3?

ford is a strange company, some of their products kick @$5 (mustang, f series trucks, etc.) and some suck @$5 (the rest of their vehicles) and then they have Jag's and mazdas which are good. They're definitely getting better in terms of quality but they still have a ways to go.

Back to topic:
Have you made any ground on the font chooser yet? I've been working longer hours at work (retail, holiday season, sucks) so I haven't had much computer time to try some stuff with it.

nope, i think it'll need an embedded app that the font info can be read from in order for it to work. if you look at a normal skin, the font section of a label is just the font name (ex: Arial Black) but when i have a variable set by browsing a dir list, it shows the filename (ex: ariblk.TTF) i think this is why i haven't been able to get it to work.

i did however add an exit button (push to hold on minimize), and added a ford logo, and optimized the coverflow skin a bit (much faster now

) i will be uploading the new file in a few min.
