This is what I've put in my skin-file:

S01,671,007,028,022,661,007,028,022,H,01,"gpsslider\pointer.gif",01,GPSSIGNAL,""

Within the skin folder I have created the folder gpsslider. It contains an completely transparent pointer.gif and 20 slider files (slider_0.gif to slider_20.gif).
-slider_0 to slider_2 indicate a bad signal
-slider_3 and slider_4 indicate medium signal
-slider_5 to slider_20 indicate a good signal

The GPS signal in RR is working, I've lock to 5-6 satellites, still my skin shows the symbol for a bad signal.

first question, is the box you want to show 28x22 pixel.
why you want a pointer, who should be 1 pix high, when you split the signal into 20 screens ?

thats enough.

Its not really a slider, but just a sattelite symbol in red, yellow and green. The pointer isn't required, but I guess you need to supply one for sliders, don't you ?

no you need no one.

dont forget the "Anführungszeichen" in front and behind GPSSIGNAL and all will work.

Well, duh ! How could I miss this ^^ ? Ok, I'll try, thank you .
