Thread: 506 by DocBreezy with ws6vert's Garmin screen <<Beta Release>>

glad you got it working tree lol... yes an icons folder is a clean way to go , this is how i did it, i noticed Doc has an icon folder so a assumed thats what people who use this skin will use for thier icons, just need to change the path in the icon.txt, if you want to move the icons into the right postion change the txt to .skin then you can move about in skin editor, you can also change the INC,Icons.txt to INC,Icons.skin to make it easyier.


doc i think its time for you to make your icons, lol...

if any more help is needed just shout, i'm taking along break from skinning at mo. rebuilding my new purchase (Truck) trying to see how to fit £5000 worth of stereo equip in there, anyway you know where to find me lol...

Good luck and ENJOY

Please no, this is your baby! That excersice was just "proof of concept" - I differ to you and i'll help with it whenever i can. If you can make an icon pack of your icon on the main screen, that would be perfect and WOULD blend with the nav arrows.

It is not fun anymore if it become too complicated so i sugest you stick with your original plan.

It was fun Hacking it tho"

you guys make some good skins. i want to learn how to skin and using code and flash. i got the tool and dont know how to use it.

this is the nicest ever skin I have seen here at Mp3car forum. Thanks alot guys :-)
But I can't manage to make this skin working. I installed it but there is not any nice clock same as first post picture there and instead there is a white ugly clock which is not working. also I don't know how to get visualization working, there is not any nice transparet visualization there even when I click on the visualization button.
also as soos as I click on configuration Icon on the bottom right of the screen, whole RR freezes and there is no way to get out of RR after that except using Taskmanager to endprocess RR.
by the way I don't have any extra dongle installed on my car pc like bluetooth, gps etc...
I read something about flash stuff in another threads but i got totally confused.

I would appreciate any help

I have taken the liberty to come up with a skin for Garmin Mobile PC, that makes it look more integrated with the style of 506 that we all like. Here is a few teasers for those interested:

Below is a zip file, that contains ONLY THE GREEN skin. My computer is acting up so I haven't been able to get the Blue and Red put together. Give the Green a go and tell me the problems. I havent taken the time to do a GMPC osk so the OSK button won't work I believe. Let me know you opinions.

Enjoy
