Overlays can be animated with transition effects...zoom in, zoom out, slide in, slide out...that sort of thing...

Problem here is sliders, tracks, bottons, labels, and logo's are all overlays. For anyone not familiar with SD, it would be difficult to explain what everything is doing if we went with overlays only.

"StreetDeck for d....... for the Unfamiliar"

First set of changable logo's are done and can be downloaded at the same link listed above (link fixed).

More logo's, same link...

Changes: Faster, more uniform transitions.
Better button placement on select screens.
Found and repaired problem with flicker during screen changes.
Finetuned "track" placement so screen changes and overlays look more fluid.
Replaced Southpark logos with more generic (if you like the southpark, copy them out of your current folder and then put back after upgrade)
Made the slide down speed/compass standard. Click on header to activate. Click again to deactivate.

My phone was too close to the laptop (sitting on the mic) when this started, so there is some noise at the beginning. I'm a bit too far from my car to film it in there (Still in Ireland).

1.1.3 released

Finally gave up trying to recreate the wheel, Used blk02si's shared graphics.
HD Radio mod by DocLee
XM/Sirius logo's by fixerofallthings

Thanks guys!

New in this release:

Graphics are cleaner
Fonts are more "stable" across most screens, meaning I tried staying with one font as much as possible.
Alignments are better. Music is still off just a hair, but I will be fixing that next.
Media managers are now where they are supposed to be (in the bottom bar and not half way out)
All XM/Serius logos are updated and now transparent
Where possible, I moved the up/down arrows into the bottom bar, giving one more line of information (music/artist/album/etc.)
Since it has been so long since I have updated, this one will create a new skin folder (carwingsb). The reason I did that was so I didn't write over any graphics you are presently using (logo's). Test it and if all is good, let me know. If you are missing some logo's, copy them over from the carwings folder and then let me know where I messed up.

On an additional note, the SteetDeck 2.0 version of this skin should be ready when SD2 is released.

In fact the streetdeck overlays/format or whatever just doesn't look right.

Either copy the carwings look, text etc completely or don't use it at all, it just don't look right.

Ask blk02si if you can use the PSDs he created for the RR skin and adapt the images to suit SD, but don't try and mix the two.

Hmmmmmm.

How did I know that YOU would be the first to comment on that.

Well common sense prevailed, although I think you need to go the whole hog and use the upper and lower bars as well and get rid of that 'Streedeck' font/look wording which still looks poor quality, but then, what do I know

So basically........animated roadrunner?

There is a reason some people go to StreetDeck and some don't.

Like I said before, I am not a big fan of "true carwings". Never have been. Think the guys here on RR did a fantastic job recreating it, but I have never used them (even in RR). Why would I spend thousands of dollars to make my car look just like another stock Nissan?
