Carwings v1.0 - RELEASED

**blk02si** · 02-09-2008, 10:38 AM

Thanks for the info mitch, I will see if there is a way to -1 in the code label.

The way the presets work is click and hold to set, then just tap quick to recall.

But first try deleting the skin.ini file from the skin directory, I forgot to clear out the cache in that file from my system before zipping it up. Just delete it, when you set the new presest it will generate a new skin.ini and you will be in business!

blk02si, this got lost in the shuffle, I haven't figured out how to fix it yet.

Sorry I missed that Machinehead, I believe that is an issue with iList and hibernation, not a skin issue. I have read some other threads describing that same behavior. I can think of 2 fixes, one, remove the ilist code, or two don't hibernate. What version of RR are you running? I built Carwings on the 12-13-2007 release.

I'm using the 12-13-07 release. I can always add a skin reload line into my ExecTBL.ini.

Hibernate is such a PITA sometimes.

here we go, copy all to carwings folder, for the labels text follow the examples. is just like in a RR .skin file, just no quotes at all. i didnt add any error checking as this is not going to be adjusted every day. if wanted i can use a .skin file instead of the ini.

EDIT:for the popup that hides iG menus, you need to make one to match your skin, i included the one i been using in mine, so you can test, all works in a 800x600 for now.

Awesome! looks great EL, only error I get is the "IG_hider" menu is off by about 30 pixels but I'm sure that can be adjusted in the CWiG.exe

Also In order for this to work properly you need a blank float_menu.png. If you just drop these files into the carwings skin it uses the float_menu in the skin that has the text already on it, and the CWiG text renders over it.

Very nice expansion though, much appreciated!

@Blk02si

If you get a chance, could you post that blank png of float_menu, please. I saved one out from the psd but i can't seam to get it to size correctly. It don't look the same as the original even after i re-sized it from 800x600 to 504x471.

**blk02si** · 02-09-2008, 07:19 PM

Here ya go, blank float_menu.png

Also I noticed you have the code for the "down" button press implemented EL, can you share the button art so that we can get the press effect

**fixerofallthing** · 02-09-2008, 11:46 PM

For now I ditched the preset buttons until I can work on the art a bit.
This is what I am using for now. Please feel free to make suggestions.

Looks good Fixer!

The bars curved vertical bars seem a bit thinner but I assume you made it that way for a reason.

The menu flows much better with the skin now, the multi-color art just looked too busy IMO.

Only other thing I can suggest is perhaps go orange on the antenna level indicators, and remove the HD indicator from the top since it will never be active in XM.
