Thread: XEON - Skin Preview

[24 April 2006] UPDATE

Updated version uploaded.. Reduced the amount of cpu load on the browser screen, fixed a couple of issues that I noticed and I'm now happy with the screens I've done so far and will not be touching them again (I hope) I am now going to to a skin and status screen which should be ready again in a couple of days.

Please remember to read all of this FIRST post so you know how to use it.
I have also updated the screenshots below.

[22 April 2006] UPDATE

Just uploaded a new version, this fixs the lockups/slowgo some of you were having on the audio_browser screen. I have also changed the way the audio browser shows its song list, it now shows the mp3 tags rather than the file name :-) Guino helped me test and work through the problems and also helped me understand just how its ment to work :-)

I have fixed a couple of things I noticed as well..

anyway read below for things you need / can do with this skin. have fun Grab it HERE


[20 April 2006] UPDATE

Ok first sorry for the delay, I ment to get this skin done alot faster, but I didnt count for both my lads falling ill with chickenpox.. O well at least its all over and done now, :-)

OK.. I have added afew things, altered alot of things and just been playing with the general layout iin the car.

I have added a LOCKOUT screen, the default PASSWORD is '111' you can change this in the menu.txt file, you can also make this lockout screen come on as soon as RR boots or just leave it off, but you can still access it from the options menu. The Status menu doesnt do anything as yet, just remember the menu is always activated by tapping bottom middle, the volume by tapping bottom right and the playbar from bottom left.

You can change the colour on the fly as before, I have used the latest ini path in the latest RR so the path will always be right now.

Things to make sure...
1. your running the latest RR version
2. your running the latest Flash Player

current know faults, on the GPS FD screen with the current RR release a ; appears after the custom labels, this stops the flash changing when routing Guino has fixed this for the next release.

anyway let me know what you think.. improvements etc.. grab it from HERE

Skully :-)

[17 March 2006] UPDATE

Might of fixed a problem a few peeps were having where the browser was locking RR up, if you were one, please download and test the new version HERE

[15 March 2006] UPDATE

Very Alpha version uploaded to test, only contains Main, Audio, Audio Browser. Grab it .. (see above)

Configure :- If needed set your path in menu.txt so the colour changer works... (&cpath=C:\Program Files\Road Runner\skins\XEON\colour.EXE&)

ok if it freeze when you press the audio browser then you need to UPDATE your flash player..

UPDATE FLASH

1. Open up Internet Exploer (not firefox or any other browser)
2. Then click on http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/...ShockwaveFlash
3. Try RR again.

You will need the LATEST RR installed for the playlists to work right.. so dont be a muppet and post that they dont :-)

known problems - Albumart not showing in browser (rr's fault, waiting on the main man fixing it :-) )


Please let me know what you think..

NEW AVI... HERE 14 March 2006 (Divx Format)

-----

This will be released in afew weeks I hope, its a simple skin, with not many components, but I will be releasing anything thats required to help anyone make extra ones.

Its a Flash based skin (done in swishmax) , so for all of you with higher based carpc's then the little epias.. then this is for you :-)

I myself am running a AMD 3000+ Sempron and it runs ACE on it..

Below is a old AVI taken so you can see what effects that were included a few days ago. I have since changed acouple of things and progressed and finished a couple more components. I am at present working on the GPS part.

The AVI is encoded in a mpeg 2 standard, so you will need something like powerdvd 6 to play it.

AVI HERE

Attached are a few pics..

I will be releasing 4 colours.. Red / Orange / Blue / Green.... <-EDIT more like 1 million colours.. set via a simple txt file :-)

Red being the first. Then bug fixes then once I'm happy the rest will follow. I say bug fixs as these just arnt pictures but scripted flash.
