change skins:

a. after a set amount of time (ie 10 seconds)
b. on any mouseclick or mousemovement

basically i wanna have skins load similar to the way the video controls and mappoint controls pop-up. It wouldnt be all skins, just specific ones.

It's possible to do this using the MENU command along with the IDLE event.. it's a bit complex and you'd have to make a full size menu (and cut off the areas you don't use), but should work .. the limitation is that the screen below it would not be accesible while the menu is up.

yea i've been reading up on the idle event and can see using the menu command to make it work, but can you define which skins the idle event would apply to? Basically what i'm tryin to do is make my gps skin go full screen after 10 secs of no movements. I have both the reg. size skin and full size skin already made but how do i tell rr to only use the idle event when on the reg. size gps skin?

ok i have a button in my skin doing what i want it to do
Here's that button code

Code:

B,662,76,138,52,"RunQ;C:\Program Files\Close Zoom\Close zoom.exe||MENU;external_gps_fs.skin||RUN;C:\Program Files\iNav\iGuidance\iGuidance.exe;iGuidance||RunQ;C:\Program Files\iGzoomFS\iGzoom.exe",

I've also added the IDL timer to the skin for 10 seconds

Code:

/, IDL, Seconds
IDL,10

And this is my entry in exectbl.ini

Code:

"IDL","RunQ;C:\Program Files\Close Zoom\Close zoom.exe||MENU;external_gps_fs.skin||RUN;C:\Program Files\iNav\iGuidance\iGuidance.exe;iGuidance||RunQ;C:\Program Files\iGzoomFS\iGzoom.exe",External_GPS.skin

button works fine but the idle event does nothing. Whats the deal?
