This is a nice interpretation of that. My only thought is that the icons with the color changable background... are hard to read/see. While everything else can change, you might want to work with a higher contrast of color on the icons themselves and make that fixed (the color scheme for icons) no matter the color for pick for the rest....

Hope to see this out soon...


BTW... your last skin I've seen... Sonique Evolution... it was running a bit slow for meon a Celeron (Intel Little Valley) with 1GB of ram and OS has some services and such stopped. Performance take a little bit of will and work

icons are 100% changable... create a 75x75 .png and you can make your own. As for the speed, i'm running this on the little valley and it only slows during initial load with full blown xp. I get its all relative

Sweet! Looking forward to your beta release!


OH.. I was just looking at the iGuidance screen... you might want to trim up the top and bottom bars... the map screen is kinda tiny with all of that going on... not to nitpick or anything... just thought that the more map you can show... the better.

that iguidance screen is one of two technically. Once you've set your destination you can opt to use full screen mode which takes away everything but the top bar.

Sonic, I agree with Jmbickham about the iGuidance screen. It is too small. I ran to the same problem on many of my screens so I changed them up.
On the iGuidance screen I made the screen narrower but taller. I am using iGuidance.exe instead of iGuidanceUMPC.exe with a theme to increase the road text and road lines.

Below is my iGuidance screen:


Overall the skin looks great. I also made all the icons on my skin changeable, but mine is not flash.
I am still working on finishing mine. I still find myself tuning it.
Hope to try your version of eLite, Sonique Elite.

X2 on making the GPS screen bigger............

Maybe leave the audio conrols on the bottom inthier standard loactions and dropping the top bar might be a better option than going full screen and back every time you want to adjust the music?

Or am I not understanding how you have it set up?

Looks good otherwise..........

Im just curious, when you say this is your last RR skin, are you moving onto another frontend? Hate to see such talent leave these parts

i never meant for that screen to be the permanent gps screen guys, this is only where you set where your going. Last night i worked on an autoitscript that will check to see when a destination has been set then auto-switch you to the larger gps view shown below.



it detects a change in wav vol and then checks the pixel color of the guidance bar so tis pretty full proof. Once detected the script closes itself.

In all honesty... i'm really questioning where RR is going now. Suffice to say i've heard some bad news whether they be rumors or not. I'd be lying if i said i havent tried and liked CF... its really made great strides whereas RR is in somewhat of a long standstill as of late. That being said, i've invested WAY too much time to give up on RR and its community. I still plan on creating and supporting many other useful plugins and i feel i'm at the point with this skin now that i dont need to worry about skinning anymore. Its by far my most complete feature-rich skin yet... and i owe alot of that to Suavecito.. i saw his skin and got re-motivated. So as long as there's an RR left i'm here to support it.

Sonic's PM box is about to be slammed in 3.....2......1......

I'm in the same boat, minus the skinning part. Heard of such things and whether true or not, just have too much knowledge, time put in, that and the fact that nothing is as flexible as RR is, would even think of going elsewhere!

Last two things...#1 Nice looking skin and #2 is....uh where is the media screens at..
