i edited this skin a little bit to fit my needs. its made for a subaru...
.custom splash screen
.main and main2 skin subaru artwork.
(the green in CFX_GREEN matches the impreza's dash perfectly by the way.)
.sirius art added to the sirius skin
.slider bar added to scroll through massive lists of folders (albums) a lot quicker; i couldnt take the up and down arrow 1 page at a time any more
.since i dont have fm radio, i made the radio button in the main.skin point directly to sirius
.also made a theme.ini for iguidance (igmod) to match colors and style of cfx

ill take some snapshots when i get out of work later. if anyones interested ill set up a link.

So i know we discussed the loading of CD's but can someone link me to the discussion about setting this up. First off i tried using the Batch files, they dont work for me. Even when i double click the batch files themselves. Now i did change the exectbl to reflect my CD drive letter. I even tried this on two other workstations. Even though it is a hack it certainly doesn't work the way that I think it is suposed to.

The only way i can browse a CD's contents is by modifying the BROWSER file and adding the path and placing that BROWSER file in my media folder. or by pressing the load cd button and then pressing the album mode button. Only then will it show me the tracks. The resume playlist though does not work. It seems to be a problem with the renaming and saving of the m3u files. I end up with 0k files

If anyone has this working can you describe the way that it is supossed to work.

Here is a screenshot

Here's how it's supposed to work.

1. Edit ExecTBL.ini to change your drive letter. Make sure you do it ob BOTH lines "LOADCD" and "LOADCD_CANCEL"

2. Pop an Audio CD in. Make sure no application automatically plays it, especially Winamp. This is also important. Sometimes, Winamp automatically plays an Audio CD if detected. Click Load CD.

3. As of now, you should have a file called _unloadcd_winamp.m3u in C:\Program Files\Winamp. Also your Audio Player screen should show the CD tracks. If not, open C:\Program Files\Winamp\winamp.m3u in a text editor and make sure it lists the .cda tracks on your CD. If it doesn't, you might have file permission issue.

4. If the above works, resume should work as well.

Thanks for taking the time to write all of that out. It turns out that I am retarded. After playing with this for 2 and half hours i found that my path was wrong the Road Runner. In your exectbl it has a space in between road and runner and my path is roadrunner without a space. No wonder it wasn't working.

Good Hack

@ antimatter I had problems with this at first too and I figured out it was the bat files that were causing the problem they assume that your winamp install path is C:\Program Files\Wimamp\ I had to edit the bat's cause my winamp install is on drive D: Just open the bat files in notepad by right clicking and select edit they are quite simple acctually. Well except for the last line of the loadcd and loadcd_cancel

Another neat trick is to make a CD-IN indicator so those of you who have you cd drive in the glove box or the trunk can tell if yo still have a cd in the drive. Simply make an indicator and put "EXISIS;D:\*.*" on the code line (or F: or E: what ever your drive letter) and there you have it nice neat indicator

Are the CFX Skin Tools with the transparent OSK and uBoard still available? The link in the first post is broken...

Man that hack works like a charm. I am loving this skin all over again.

Now to get my steering wheel remote working on this

BTW, I'm in the process of making the Unload CD function remember the last track and track position on your MP3 playlist. I'll post the update if successful.
