'Freedom' skin beta progress (Flash Based)

**wilsonj** · 08-18-2006, 04:57 PM

CdR, Thanks for the tips of full screen GPS etc. Found another couple issues you may not be aware of.

1.File swapping screen. When I choose to delete something windows pops up with a standard "are you sure you want to delete xxxxx?" But then gets hidden before I get a chance to press YES. Seems redundant, as the file gets deleted anyway.

2. When moving files it moved the root folder the file was in also. I repeated this to see if maybe I double pressed the screen or something, but no.

Cheers
Jamie

I love this skin and It's my new favorite... 1 smal suggestion and 1 question though...

The notes thing u have there... how do I get a keyboard, can only find the save and so on buttons...

The suggestion I have is more a thing to make it look even nicer... ad water ripple effects when u click the buttons... no biggie to do at all. I was planning on making a skin myself just to get it but it's easier for u to add it...

found 2 great guides how to do it, one is how to make the ripples and the other is to get it to show when u click...

I think something like that would totaly make the passengers keep playing with it... and myself to...

THis seems to be another CF knock off. If everyone is so happy with CF why not use it.
Not to be an ***, but doesnt that seem logical?
Great work thought, I do like it. It seems to speed up RR quite a bit. I was using the CFX skin for awhile now. Since switching to this, there is not a lot of lag between screens or button pressess a major annoyance with RR.
Any way thanks for the work, I hope I didnt hurt anyones feelings...

Perhaps because people like the look of CF, but prefer to use Road Runner...?

yup... thats the case with me anyway... I love RR and I have tried some of the others (managing a swedish carpc community) and as I can see RR is by far the best one right now... still waiting to give aimee a try though...

I have one more weird question that I noticed today... I run Iguidance with Igmod and it works great until I try and push the button to get it to full screen... IG just doesnt come there... instead I see the windows in the background, ie. Winamp and the desktop...

Open up menu.txt in the skin folder and change this line to look like this and let me know..

&gpsfull=LOAD;gpsfull.skin;$gpsname$;$gpspath$;$gp sname$&

hmm... well that didnt work for me... now I still have the Iguidance window but at the same size as the not fullscreen one...

and the weird thing is that I dont get the nag screen until I try and open it up in fullscreen mode... should I replace gpsname, gpspath and so on with the real name and path or does that try and get it from RR...
