Thread: Teknik 2 Features added

Seeing as two of those plugins are mine, I'll have to say nice job.


(Hope you do Petrol as well for the UK users )

i like the idea of adding the plugin's but to be honest I'm not sure about the new layout of the main menu (icons, cover art and track info etc) ... the design concept behind T2 was clean and simple, and it's now startng to look cluttered ... no offense !

I have no problem with you releasing them as they are, but they will have to be as add-on to the original T2 skin, I don't want the T2 main menus replaced with your versions etc ... did you think about perhaps adding a third "main menu" to house your plugins on instead of modifying the original menus ?

just some thoughts before you release ...

I do like to see people trying there hand at adding stuff to skins for there own use etc.
but i have to agree with val, a 3rd menu would be better for others who have T2 running. this way it will become a drop in add on , with minor changes to the origanal menu scr's.

as for the clutter look , its just amatter of some changes eg E's search scr, move the numbers to the top or somthing without button graphics, and make the page up/down down the side,

just example

That is why I posted the screenshots before release. I will remove the albumart and info. I added those for my truck and I figured I would leave them to see what people thought. The plugins are all on a 3rd menu screen. That screen shot is of menu_3. Menu 1 and 2 got only minor changes like I use XM and HD so I made dedicated icons for each to suit my needs and put them on the main menu. I am far from done and these were just a test so if anyone has any other suggestions I will be working on this for the next few nights so list your ideas and I will see what I can do.

Of course these will be add ons and never included in your download. I just like the design so much I wanted all my screens to have the same "feel".

Did I miss an RRUpd8 plugin release? I thought we were still waiting. I have room on the menu_3 screen so you got it!
