The best I can offer is a loadable image say of your car logo / car that will show when a album image isnt there.

I spent last night writing a little VB app, this is going to be embedded in this skin, which will enable you to change the skin colour on the fly.. so if you want a diff colour you just goto settings, pick your colour and click SAVE, this then updates a txt file and also sends the command to RR to reload its skin.. it works great :-)

now just to do the rest of the skins.. :-)

Would it be possible to set this colour either by RGB or # code ie if you have a specific code you want to use ?

Terran

EDIT What about having 3 and linking the color to the brightness button so colours can be changed when the screen is dimmed. The affect can be brighter outlines on buttons while over all maintaining a dark screen - ideal for night driving.

Yeah, that would work too.

Better than having an empty screen.

I can't wait for this to come out. It is really off the scale...

will add a loadable picture this afternoon, just added 10 editable menu buttons like in MC2.0, you can set if you wish the colour via the same file in a hex value if you already know the colour you want.. I might add a day colour and a night colour, which will allow you to switch between em at a press of a button..

&menucolour=10FF84&
&b1=Audio@AUDIO&
&b2=Video@VIDEO&
&b3=Radio@RADIOSHARK&
&b4=TV@TV&
&b5=GPS@GPS&
&b6=Apps@LAUNCH&
&b7=Weather@WEATHER&
&b8=Web@WEB&
&b9=Games@LOAD;game.SKIN&
&b10=Skins@SKIN&

{edit}
ok added it so it loads the audio_off.jpg image so if you dont have any album art it will show whatever is on that image.

Think thats about finished now, dont want to go overboard on it.. got the audio_browser now to do.. not looking forward to that.. lol

i just have a gut feeling it wont be able to. If it does, it will be painfully slow....

spent an hour getting the cpu usage down as much as I can really, so will just have to see, I dont have a M10000 anymore, but will try on a PII 300 I have.. just to see what its like.
