[Release] SKINbedder v2

**d_sellers1** · 06-28-2005, 09:42 PM

Well I was playing around in ResHack with the iGuidance.exe. On dialog 1004 (which is the enter destination) there is a disabled button called Contacts. All I did was diasble the Recent button and enabled the Contacts button.
Those two lines look like this:

Code:

CONTROL "Recent", 505, BUTTON, BS_OWNERDRAW | BS_FLAT | WS_CHILD | WS_DISABLED | WS_TABSSTOP, 123, 121, 16, 14
CONTROL "Contacts", 506, BUTTON, BS_OWNERDRAW | BS_FLAT | WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE, 0, 119, 89, 16

But I cannot get iG to read my Outlook contacts so at the moment it's kinda worthless. This is a PowerPC option only (according to the help file). Would be nice if iNav included this in the next version.

PS This is from version 2.0.

Besides needing to embed the "Enter Street Name" window in order to show SKINbuttons on top of it, loading all those SKINbuttons is taking a ton of memory and making it run incedibly slow. I'm going to need Ol33ls help with this one. Sorry guys... I thought all I would need to do is add the SHOW/HIDE code and be done with it.

Hey, my OSK is upside down.

Perhaps I need to lower the resolution/file size of the buttons. That might help. Or, perhaps we can make it a single BMP, and then assign an area of the BMP that is actually the "button" that produces the key press.

Just ideas.

That's how it was in your INI file LOL.

To switch 2.1 to full size, Open IG without skinbedder, then you just need to push the button to the right of the toolbar, the one with 2 square boxes in it. That will undock it from the top of the screen, and remove the borders. Then just hit the alt and the F4 keys at the same time to close ig. When you next open IG, even with Skinbedder, it will open full screen. I then had to make some nudge changes, but I got it looking perfect. When I get home I will try and remember to post some screen shot.

Now, if we could somehow get that small floating toolbar to disappear (It always comes back when you restart) that would be tight. If not, I won't complain.

I think that is because I am the one who plotted the co ordinates for the buttons. However, they co ordinate system is different then what I was told, so they are off. That is my guess.

Remmeber VR4, you told me that it was X,Y, and that is starts in the TOP Left. EDIT: ARGGGGGG, I just realized I made a mistake. Dammit. When I get home, I will modify the INI, and send it to you. Please PM me your e-mail. I should be home in a couple of hours, and then I can make the changes. Shouldn't take me to long.

What did you think about my other idea. I believe that is how most Skins work, a single BMP, with areas designated as buttons?

I don't know how to do that. Maybe Ol33l does?

**ddn** · 06-28-2005, 10:29 PM

How the heck do you get transparency to work? I've tried almost everything I can think of....made some nice looking buttons...

Yeh, retarded

Well, I don't know why it would launch two instances. Definately NOT a SKINbedder bug

If the developers were to need...an *ahem*..evaluation copy of iGuidance...

I've got a copy of 2.1.1. Anyways, just disable the full screen mode for now...
