Working skin for MS Streets and Trips embedded in RR

Is your web server down? None of the links are working...

Yeah, my wife just informed me, it looks like my T1 is down, after trying to connect via my tampa network and my datacenter network, it seems my downtown office network (X freakin O) is off line. I will just have to wait until it is back up. That is what I get for free rack space

Sorry guys, it will be obvious when it is back up.

While I am waiting for XO to get there act together,

So today, I found out another issue with this skin, it breaks. If I save the open map or open a previously saved map, the application name changes from
"Maps - Microsoft Streets and Trips" to
"(whatever I named the file).est - Microsoft Streets and Trips" and then the skin breaks because the app name is wrong. It ends up opening a new instance of Streets.exe, hiding the other one under RR and generally making things strange.

When I get a minute, I will test it with the class name and windspector to see if that works. I'll update the skin if I can make it work better.

I also decided my amber is to yellow and needs more orange to match my car.

Well that worked, I will update the skin when I can get to my server again but in the mean time, if you already have it, change all occurrences of (menu.skin, streets.skin and exit_menu.skin)

Map - Microsoft Streets and Trips

to

!Afx:400000:8:0:0:103c6

and you will be able to use saved maps normally.

Scratch that, the class changes after restarting the computer, the class is now !Afx:400000:8:0:0:1140727 and the app starts but not embedded. So it's back to Map - Microsoft Streets and Trips for now.

AGPS ? - Can you import your own wav files ?

Great job! That was one of the best tutorials I've read in awhile

AGPS only works with MAPPOINT (as far as I know this is in the author's page). wav files should be changable if they're in the install folders, otherwise, I highly doubt it.

If this part of the Window title is ALWAYS present:
" - Microsoft Streets and Trips", then you should be able to just use that..

What I mean is: it is not necessary to use the ENTIRE window name to match for embbeding -- it just makes it more precise (which can be too precise at times like this). The same goes for the class name.
