[V3 Questions]

Hi,

I am curious is this thread still alive and is anyone still working with skinbedder?

I have a fm radio program I would love to skin, It seems I cannot get it to play with radiator or with axife fm so I will need to use the oem radio program to control the card.

I would love to skin it so I could use it with the front end of my choice (froddo at the moment).

However I am really struggling to get my head around the how skinbedder works. Any help here would be greatly appreciated.

cheers,

Jeff

Sorry I missed your post a long time ago. It is my project. It is not abandoned, but I haven't had time to work on it for a while. As for creating your skin, you kinda just gotta play with it and figure it out for yourself, but if you have any specific questions I will be happy to answer them. I would start with the RadioShark skin since it is an FM program as well.

I'm working on an OziExplorer skin but having trouble with getting the skin to show.
The startup script is:
StartUp=Run(c:\oziexplorer\OziExp3962a.exe),Wait(2 000),Embed(NSMap),LoadSkin(NSMap:Enter_Left)

Ozi starts and embeds, but I don't get the buttons showing over the top. At this stage I am using the same ones as IG.

Am I doing something wrong? BTW I'm using SB 2.9999

Thanks in advance

Do you have an NSMap sub-directory and a Enter_Left.ini in it that points to the two png files (also in that directory)?

Why 2.999? Try using "3.0 Preview 1" or "3.0 Preview 2".

**Bugger** · 06-20-2006, 06:14 AM

Yep... All of that exists... basically unchanged from the IG skin.

using 2.9999 due to some of the posts talking about V3 preiviews being less carputer stable.

<NSMap.ini>
[NSMap]
;WindowTitle=OziExplorer
WindowClass=TfmMainForm
Width=800
Height=545
TopBorder=0
LeftBorder=0
RightBorder=0
BottomBorder=0
NudgeUp=0
NudgeLeft=0
NudgeRight=0
NudgeDown=0

Visible=True
</NSMap.ini>

Post your "SKINbedder\NSMap\Enter_Left.ini".

The "previews" are just as stable if not more so.

@RPM

Attached Enter_Left.ini as txt.Attachment 30783

Hope you can shed some light on this.

Hummm.... that should work as long as you have Enter_Left.ini, Menu_Left.png, and Blank_LeftDown.png all within the SKINbedder\NSMap\ folder.

???

**Bugger** · 06-25-2006, 05:12 AM

That's what I believe I have...
Skinbedder is in a folder "embedozi"

embedozi -> ozi (ozi.ini) -> nsmap (NSMap.ini, Enter_Left.ini, Menu_Left.png, Blank_LeftDown.png)

I'm still assuming I've done something stupid here somewhere... Is there any way that the OziExplorer window could be redrawing over the top of the skin?
