Thread: Skin Release "RAD" Beta 1 Flash Based

O yeah..

To enable the vis on the audio page, just click on the album cover (AVS set in roadrunner)

If your using FreeDrive change the sdk.ini file in the freedrive folder so its set like...

FDSPEED=
FDSATS=RoadRunner
FDETA=RoadRunner
FDETR=RoadRunner
FDHEAD=
FDROAD=RoadRunner
FDLONG=
FDLAT=
FDALT=
FDTIME=
FDDATE=
FDEND=
FDDIST=
FDUNITS=
FDMAN=
FDNEXTMAN=
FDNEXTSTREET=
FDNEXTMANDIST=
FDMANFULL=RoadRunner
FDCAMS=

thanks about it I think

Tried thin in the car tonight and runs superbly on my setup which you already know is the same as yours. I shall be in the car a lot next week so I can give it a good test. Any problems I will send errors to you.

Thanks again for a superb skin.

Your skins are always awesome. I just wish your driver seat was on the opposite side so some button placements would be more US-driver-friendly

lets send him drugs and make him program disorientated

I'm amazed how well it runs on my crappy Celeron 1.2Ghz laptop.. great job! Also, the test version on the release thread should work fine with this (it did on my tests here).

ok.. thanks for the comments.. as mentioned this is very much a work in progress. On using it for a few days in the car I will be adding / changing the below things..

Moving the audiosaver on/off to the options menu, making it easy to turn it on/off, changing the loud button from text to a light. So instead of it saying on/off it will have a coloured light, will also do this on the new screensaver button.

I will be moving / binning the counter on the screensaver and putting a big clock there instead, think it will be more usful there rather than on a angle on the side.

I'm quite happy with the other skins, and the timers I have put on.. ie. swapping back to the audio player screen from the browser screen.. changing the buttons back to the first menu etc..

As for the clock on the screensaver, thinking about doing one of those funny clocks.. the ones where they use bars.. and stuff like some of the new lcd watchs. ideas on this will help.

Any other suggestions / improvments to the currently done skins please post away.

I really liked it so far. Not sure you've noticed those points, but thought I'd mention (not that it changes how nice the skin works so far):

-Love the album art display on the screen saver but it seems like it'd look "squeezed" vertically in the 16:9 screen (most common)
-When you use the sliding keypad to hit a letter to jump to, if the letter is one of the last entries, it will display at the top of the list and the scroll bar displays over the down button. A simple check should be used to see if the item is within the last few in the list and display the last one as the last item of the list so the slider doesn't go over anything.
-I love how the current song has a bigger font on the playlist (I know it's a ***** to code this), but when you scroll up/down it makes the selected font normal size. Try this: select a song to play in the middle of the list, scroll down one page, back to the page of the current song (you should see the font in normal size but hightlighted), then page up from it, and back down to the page of the current song (on my tests the song was shown as all the other songs, no highlight or bigger font) ... yeah, I know just how much work it is to get a list working propperly..
-I miss the gestures -- I'm guessing you disabled them for testing, and hoping that you'll work that into the code later on..

Other than that, I really like it and look forward to picking a nice background to use with it in the car. (Not that I don't appreciate the current one hahaha)

Hi m8.. yeah still unsure about the squashed album cover, looks kinda good.. verdict still undecided.. what would be nice maybe would be the album and vis maybe but this would require moving the vis box around.

I have fixed the present track highlight ( I hope) and also the down scroll button. I will enable gestures when its on the playlist, but they will be disabled when on the browse list ( due to drag and drop )

The gestures are causing a keypress on flash.. I have added a gestureon so you can see what I mean.

Update HERE

let me know what you think

Is it possible to have the gps displayed as the background whilst in screen saver mode?
