Teknik v1.0 & v2.0 - RELEASED ...

**Valheru** · 04-10-2008, 04:14 PM

what updates did you have in mind ?

at present this skin has ... audio, video, 3 x sat nav, am/fm radio, HD radio, xm & sirius sat radio, picture viewer, album art browser, full playlist support, song ratings, changable background, ilist support, custom splash screens, web browser, tag editor, task manager, freefone, media copier and full music library search capabilities.

I don't really have any plans to release another update to TEK2, but I may later on to add support for weather, transparent overlay menus and some other features if they are requested ... !

Must say, this is one of the best looking skins for this frontend that I have found. I really like the Teknik2 wallpaper....contrast is amazing.

I am solving most of the troubles I am having with the skin by the help of this thread, however I cant figure this one out.

my monitor supports 800x480. How can I use this skin to match that resolution (I dont see this resolution in the RR config app)?

and I am struggling to change the background. when I change it, I cant see anything (it messes it up bigtime) and I have to reinstall RR again.

General.ini in the skin file change the settings in there

OK guys. I've solved the background issue and got my griffin powermate to work too (sweet)

A few questions to really complete my setup the way I always wanted it to be:

- How to I get "visualisations" to work when playing music - i miss them dancing lights

- I dont use Radio and would like to either disable the button or even shift it to the 2nd page - how can I do that?

- my monitor supports 800x480. How can I use this skin to match that resolution (I dont see this resolution in the RR config app)?

- As I use Sygic as my SATNAV app, do I have to use the menu to trigger sygic via destinator.....isnt there a way to just make the satnav button on the skin to bring up sygic?

- When I disconnect the power on my PC, it is set to go into hibernation after 1 min....now it has stopped working...any tips?

Thx again for a beautiful looking and simple skin.

1. there is no Vis setup in this skin,but its very easy to do if you know where you would like it I can do the code but not the graphics,that down to Val

2.open the Teknik skin folder look for the general.ini and change the 800 x 600 to your scr size change the showhieght= and showwidth=

3.you need skin editor to do this, download from Bluezx signature for the lastest ver,.

4. if i remember rightly you can chnage the path in the exectbl file

"GPSDEST","LOAD;Destinator.skin;Sat Nav;c:\car\destinator\destinator.exe;Destinator"

just change the path to your sat nav .exe the bit in red it should do the job

if you want the gps button to go directly to your sat nav set it up in RRconfig,change the menu.skin button to GPS , and change the Destinator.skin to External_GPS.skin
this should do it.

Thx for your reply. I shall try your suggestions.

The visualisations would be nice where the album art goes. Winamp supports visualisations - those would do nicely - even the simple bar ones, that are the default option on winamp.

carputer1 answered most of the questions for me .. .thanks mate.

- one thing ... you need to rename (or copy) "destinator.skin" to be "external_gps.skin" andwill also need to re-do the contents of that file. see posts in this thread about 8 or 10 posts back. this question is answered.

you could change the code for the RADIO to be something else, that way you don't loose the button on menu#1...

re the hibernation ... TEK2 would not affect this. are you on laptop of desktop pc base ? check the hibernate settings on your pc is all I can say !

glad you like TEK2 ... let me know how you get on with it ...

Can you tell me where is the am/fm radio support? I use HQCT and there's support for this radio unit in every major skin, but when I click to the Radio button, there's a box containing XM Radio, HD radio and Sirius radio, and none of them works with the HQCT. Where is the normal AM/FM radio screen?

Hi Valheru,

The sygic tips is working great but when I clic on GPS I always have the choice beetween all gps.
Isn't there a tips to have sygic directly when i clic GPS?
I agree with IMI i don't need radio I prefer to have the phone button on 1st page and radio on the second.
Last you asked me what is missing, i think it could be cool to have an integration of odb diag software.

Thanks again for this great skin

Selecting the HD radio option will bring up the AM/FM radio support as they are both integrated into a single skin.
