Tissy

The base Skin is called Simplistique, however, it has since it was developed some considerable time again, been heavily moddified and built on by me.

For those who know how to skin edit, you will need the following.

Create a skin page with a predefined "Application" area.

Here is an example of such, call it obd.skin

MEDIACAR Skin

END
This will give you a basic skin with a close button and also track names etc.

Then, add a button to your main 'menu.skin' and have the 'command' field labelled as:

"LOAD;obd.skin;DashCommand;C:\Program Files\DashCommand\dashcommand.exe;!wxWindowClassNR "

Obvioulsy, the 'C:\Program Files\DashCommand\dashcommand.exe' needs to be where the where YOUR DashCommand exe is stored.

I haven't tried it in the car yet, but see no reason why it won't work.
