Should be able to make it fill the whole screen left the right by hitting the gps full screen button, thats the grey button looking like 2 rectangles at the top right of the gps window.

GPS full screen only has audio controls at the bottom and song title / time at the top. Fills a 7inch screen nicely.

I cant pin point your problem (i don't use IG) but i suspect it has something to do with your gps full setting in MENU.txt.

I think it should look something like this =

&gpsfull=LOAD;gpsfull.skin;iguidance;$C:\Program Files\iguidance\iguidance.exe$;iguidance&

I hope i've not missed the point and this helps.

Does this skin tell rr to set hidedots=true? Right now i cant load my entire music library cause hidedots keeps setting to true when i need it to be false.

Also, is it possible to make the search button configurable in menu.txt? I ask because it appears the search doesnt search within the subfolders. Since we cant add flash to that skin due to the playlist, it'd be nice have the ability to use the searchfiles command instead of the search already there.

Hey Guys, has any one had problems imbedding freedrive in to this skin? I Been searching and tried setting " GPS Windows Name" to "freedrive" "Freedrive" "FreeDrive" and leaving it blank with no luck, it just imbeds the window behind RR in my case IE. Should something change in Menu.txt Im running Freedrive preview with the April 12th update.

If you had IE open on the freedrive page then thats your problem,it will try and embed the first thing it finds with Freedrive in its window name.

that worked. thanks a million :bowdown:

as for this:

2. Anyway of starting freedrive/GPS screen in the full screen mode? Or at least remembering how it was last left. It takes a while to "re-embed" at a different size.

2. Yes.. open up menu.txt and swap the end GPS& bit with the gpsfull option further down in the menu.txt page..

this is what my menu has. what do i switch out?

Yup, that was the problem, It's silly I didnt pick-up on that sooner, haha, thanks again.

I'm still trying to figure out what going on with the icons on the main menus none are showing up, after I downloaded flash 8 and the flash.ocx from rrdownloads.net. still no luck any one else have some input???

Thanks again Griff1
