The 'select all' works differently to normal.. first you press 'select all' then you press the folder you want, it will then load everything in this folder, not the current one your viewing.

The font is Tahoma on alot of the text items in freedom

I am glad to report that i just ran the skin on an compaq ipaq desktop which is celeron@500Mhz, and the only thing that seems slow are the transitions, other than that it is bearable. I will report some more after I had a longer play with it. Some commands like configuring the night mode colour don t seem to work.
It would be perfect if there was an option of turining on/off the fadeouts between pages for slow machines like mine.
Cheers for an excellent skin CDR
/edit
the test was using flash 7, it worked, but not all the features worked, like icons not displaying. Upgraded to Flash 8 and more features work(although not all), but everything is twice as slow, at least.
CDR, what would i be missing if i use flash 7?
/edit 2: flash 7 cpu usage: ~25%
flash 8 cpu usage: ~70%
flash 9: not working
/edit 3: i belive the icons not showing up in flash 7 is because they are in png, and flash 7 did have support only for jpg's, i ll update. I ll try to make it working in flash 7 and see what i m missing. it s 2-4 times faster.
Cheers

Hey, i downloaded the skin.. and it is AMAZING, Great work! and thanks a lot.. I look forward to the updates..

i have a suggestion though..
could you make it possible to ADD a song or folder?
i mostly like to add a few cds on my playlist at a time and just have it on random

Also i agree with some others about it being too dark for daytime. Its not bad, but if it were lighter it would be better for daytime.
EXCELLENT for night though..

One last thing..
I noticed last night while driving with the skin
the screen saver came on
but it didn't display the time...
is it supposed to? or did i confuse something..?

thanks again for all the hard work
simply amazing skin..
(I actually have been needed to get more RAM, and this skin running a tad slow on the carpc pushed me over the edge to go get a 1gig stick :-) )

thanks cdr skull the select all button does work great for me , how ever mabey it could be called something else ? Who knows.

The other request that i think skins are missing is a fullscreen vis button as road runner goes crazy when you do this , really i just want the vis button on ur skin go fullscreen as i dont think it docks any where.

Just loaded this onto my car pc, and its amazing. Only thing I can see is that even when RR is hiding the cursor, the cursor still shows up as a hand icon across the entire flash area. If that could be hidden, then the skin would be 100% in my book

Awesome work CDR!!
