Thread: Release: Proximo's CF style skins

EDIT:

Ohh damn, figured out my own problem. It has nothing to do with this skin at all. I just used skinBedder to fix the fields (what a life saving little app). Hope I didn't thread jack because I'm simply un-gifted today.



I've been trying to get the RR brushed metal mappoint skin to work with the this CF proximo style skin and I'm running into a bit of trouble.

This CF skin is 800 * 480 (originally) the Brushed Metal mappoint skin is 800 * 600, my screen res is 800 * 600.

in general.ini I've got:

Code:

OriginalWidth=800
OriginalHeight=480
ShowWidth=800
ShowHeight=600

This makes CF skin fit full screen with my current screen res. The BM mappoint skin opens and everything displays correctly EXCEPT the screen that allows you to add points, which is the most important part of course. See screenshots. I've reduced the size of the 800 * 600 BM skin to 800 * 640 however its producing the same results. Grr. Anyone got any suggestions ??

b8bboi,

Hate to bring the thread back to life to ask this, but, I'm gonna ask anyway because I'm selfish

Any other development on this skin? I have a few bugs, items I can tell you about to hopefully get you going back on the skin.

Bugs initially:
Searching: The searched item results playlist is never created
Phonecontrol: No buttons for choosing which phone number for a single record to call (in sony ericsson phones the phone book stores numbers by putting all numbers under one entry, so under Defsquad you'd have 3 phone numbers -work, home, mobile).
Text Label for Online or Offline only shows up when you press the DVD button from "Menu"
Applications I have all of my applications setup correctly in the LAUNCH folder, but they are not showing up in the Applications listing. THey show up fine under another coulple of skins I use.

There are a couple of other items, but I can't think of them right now. All in all this is by far my favorite skin. I hope it's development continues

Thanks!

Searching:
Can you describe step by step what you did and what should happen?

Phone Control:
I'll add that extra screen in.

Text Label:
The "online" indicator works for me. I'm not sure what happens there. Can someone else confirm whether it works or not?

Applications:
This also works fine for me. Again, can someone else confirm if it works for them?

b8bboi:

I'll take some screenshots. Standby.

b8bboi:
Ok, for the searching screen. After reading through Guino's FAQ for searching several times, when searching through your playlist it should produce a playlist that has those search results in it, but I'm not seeing any sort of playlist of the sort.

Applications, please see the image below. I have all of my applications to be launched in the "LAUNCH" folder under the Road Runner following Guino's howto for adding apps to the launcher.


Text Label for Online or Offline, please see the image below. When you press the DVD button the "online" or "offline" text appears underneath there.


Lastly, PhoneControl.Net. Thanks for taking a look at that.

Good luck and let me know if I can help with anything.

Search:
I still don't know what's supposed to happen. It does work for me. I click Search (the magnifying glass button). OSK comes up. I enter a keyword and the next song with that keyword is highlighted.

I don't have a "Searchfiles" button on the Audio Browser skin so maybe that's what you're talking about? Could you try another skin and see if it works?

Online Indicator:
It works for me at 800x480 but when I stretch it out to 800x600, it disappears under the frame like you described above. This is probably a RR bug. Right now, I'm don't know how to fix it. Maybe we can alert guino so he can fix this in the next version.

Applications:
I really don't know what happens there. It works fine for me. Try this and see what happens.
Make a back up of launch.skin in CFX.
Copy launch.skin from BMV2 to CFX, overriding the one that's there.
Restart RR and go back to Apps and see if the App List comes up for you. (it will appear where it's defined in the BMV2 skin.)

Thanks b8bboi for taking the time to help. I'll try these suggestions out and will get back to you.

No problem. I think SearchFiles is what you were talking about. I'll be adding that in the next version.

b8bboi, I tried doing the applications skin "launch.skin" switch and they are still not showing up at all even in another skin. Am I correct by putting individual folders in c:\program files\road runner\launch ? and then having their respective *.ini files, so for example c:\program files\road runner\launch\WIMGPS and inside of that i have WIMGPS.ini and inside of that ini file i have:
PATH=c:\program files\WIMGPS\WIMGPS.exe
WindowSearchString=WhereIsMyGPS.net

I have that along with several other common applications to run. Is this correct?
