Thread: Kuo Skin Release

RRs application osk also works in the routis dialogs now, so you can also make a shortcut for it... those are not requests or critics.. I'm just saying that if you want to do it, you can..

Most of the times I read posts around her I can decipher what they mean....
this one..... not so much..... maybe someday when I get deeper into this skinning/interface thing...

Nice skin, Look forward to trying it out.....

almost time to release this skin. shooting for sunday.

thanks for the tip guino. i didn't know you could do that. i'll definitely get those buttons into the skin. i have an osk skin that is 200 pixels high. in screens like the audio player, apps, web, and mappoint, the osk loads at the bottom of the screen. with all embedded apps except mappoint, when the osk loads the application dissappears. in the external gps screen the osk loads at the top of the screen and the rest of the screen is black. is there any way for you to make the osk load and still show the embedded app? also can it load at the bottom or have it so that we can specify the location through the skin files? thanks again guino.

See, I only need ONE skin file to see how it goes.. then I can work on improving it.. all I have right now is that OSK from the brushmetal skin.. so if you can send me the current OSK skin you have, I can definitely improve it..

FreeDrive has jpgs and info which you could use.. but I did do a skin for Silent Admires Virtualkeyboard, your quite welcome to use that as well if you want.

CdR

What I'm trying to avoid doing is taking the time to make a .skin file.. if I go that far, I'll probably make the JPGs myself .. but that takes time, so it will probably not be anytime soon while I'm working on other things ...

i did not skin the radio screen, the exit menu screen, or the mappoint screen. the external gps screen has buttons using sendkeys for iguidance2.

Cool Looking it up right now..

hey guino, did you get my osk files?

thanks again for the tip on doing the sendkey buttons. one request though. would it be possible for the sendkey command to leave focus on the last window opened in the embedded app? when i hit a sendkey button like "favorites" it opens the favorites dialog but the window focus is not on the favorites dialogue so when i try to use the sendkey buttons to scroll up and down, it doesn't work. the other thing i really wanted to do was to do the mutiple command option to open up the osk after doing the sendkey comand for "enter address", but since the last window open doesn't have focus it doesn't work. anything you can do on this one guino?

if anyone downloaded the skin right after i posted, please redownload. i had a previous version of the external gps skin in the zip file. the new updated file has now been added.
