Current Features
-Transparent Menus
-14 menu selections on the main menu
-Volume control ont he main menu
-Tons more to come

dont be angry, but this skin is very close to the SEAT skin of LUMENOS (2006)

its, because you critisized the always same design of the menu skin.

wait a minute. . .

I GET IT! The sides are supposed to be the edges of a circular saw blade.

I figured that out kind of quick, but it's not easy to tell, and really needs a better graphic to show that point.

I like the one GF-ler posted better, there's more space in the center for info, but the side buttons are still large enough to touch.

Damn that one is cool, is there a link to a thread where you found it...
I have to say, I like it better as well.

Not too crazy about the lack of menu buttons though. I like having all those options on one screen. Why page around looking for what you want.

The blade edges are actually from a photo of a circular saw blade. Good OBS BLK

I was kind of going at the car wings thing but wanted more on the main menu. So I mirrored it. Really that was the inspiration for this skin.

linky

His main menu uses the center area for the menu buttons then leaves the side blank. Really wasting some valuable realestate, oh well nice find..

I like big buttons especially good for some that cant get over a 7" screen in there dash. thats why streetdeck and centrafuse are so popular the big buttons, you dont have to squinch your eyes and when you hit a button it actually activates that button, just some thoughts.
