When i load the skin, all of my buttons are blank (no text)
Open the ExecTBL.ini file that is in the ROOT of your RR install.
Delete the following lines
"ONSKINSTART"
"ONSONGSTART"

When i click the exit button RR hangs and or CDRIP isnt working now. (updated)
CDRIP NO LONGER needs to be configured inside the ExecTBL.ini file inside the skins folder. These lines have been removed from the file.
If you want to use CDRIP follow the standard install instructions for CDRIP found here http://www.mp3car.com/vbulletin/rr-faq/53126-how-do-i-setup-cd-rip-plugin.html and also note these instructions are for the ExecTBL.ini that is in the ROOT of your RR install. Either edit or create this file if its not present.
This should fix the issues some where having with RR hanging when you click the "EXT" (exit) button
If you currently are having this problem, apply the lsxvoid1.6patch1

To setup CDRIP in the ExecTBL.ini file that is in the ROOT of RR install, add the below lines to this file. Create the file if its not present.

Code:

"CDRIP","PLUGIN;RRCDRip;PATH2CDRIP"
"QUIT","SendMsg;RRCDRip;showplugin||bye"
"BYE","QUIT"

What are the little white triangles on some of the buttons?
Those are indication that the button has a alternate function, click and hold the button and the alternate command will execute. For example, on the main menu if you click and hold the EXT button, it will exit RR and automaticly reload after 5 sec.

What is the WIDGETS button, it dosent seem to do anything special?
If you have yahoo widget engine installed, set all of your widgets to only show on the hud, when you click the widgets button, it will bring up all your yahoo widgets. Click anywhere on the desktop and it will return u to RR. If you dont have yahoo widgets installed, or dont want to install it. You can use this as a quick way to see whats on your desktop, use your imagination.

How do i move the red MENU button that sits ontop of the gps map (IGCONTROL)? (this tweak is nolonger needed)
This lovely piece of script was written by DiNASTY with a few small bits by me. To edit the position of the menu edit the file coords.ini found here
C:\Program Files\Road Runner\LSTOOLS\SB2.9\iGuidance
instructions on how to edit the file are found inside the file.

How do I change the buttons to say and so something else?
Click and hold the button and choose a new command from the screen that pops up.

Why do i see numbers in odd places?
Check that you have installed the supplied FONTS in your windows fonts dir
note, the numbers 1 and 2 (above left arrow) that you see when you click the big navigation arrows is normal.
The fonts are automaticly installed with the installer version of the skin (latestversion) so this shouldnt be a issue for anyone anymore

How do i turn on the VISUALIZATIONS?
Click the date in the top right corner on the main screen, same area on audio player screen.

GPS works fine, but the speedo and speed display dont, or vise versa?
You will need a gps com port splitter, search this site for xport and you should find all the info needed. In RRConfig.exe set the gps comport that is being split.

The Sensor screen dosent show any info for my computer?
You will need to install SpeedFan. http://www.almico.com/speedfan.php
It also needs to be running in order for RR to pull info from it.

Whenever i recieve a call, or click the power button, or click the quick menu, I see a lot of PINK!?
you have clipping disabled. Run RRConfig.exe and enable clipping

Hey i dont like the picture on the main screen, can you change it?
There should be image files inside the skin folder that should help you out.
Ill also be releaseing additional images for people to customize with as well as the full psd at a much later date.

How do i remove the album art and use my own image or flash logo? (updated)
this is fairly easy to do. Just remove the album art: Open the skin in RRSkinEditor.exe and on the leftside pane, find the letter J, click the delete button at the top.

Add your own image:
Click the Add button on top> select IMG-Image as the object type>Done
in the following box that pops up, type the file name of your image in quotes like this "myimage.jpg" match the w and h lines to the width and height of your image.

Follow the same steps to add flash logos also, except instead of the IMG-Image object type, you select F-Flash Movie as the object type.
all images or flash logos etc must be located inside the skins dir.
This is currently broken in the latest update, i wasnt aware anyone was actually doing this, so ill provide some extra images to remove the jewelcase thats embeded in the main menu image file.
(update)
Most of the work is now done for you for this tweek, click and hold a custom button to access the custom command screen, find the button "vis opt" located on the 3rd screen.
From here you can choose the logo option. Note this option has the default BIG visuals. If you want to use the small vis with the logo option you'll have to edit the menu.skin file by hand.
First choose the BIG VIS w logo as your option.
Then open menu.skin (found in the skins folder) in notepad.
Find the line that start with an A change the values to match whats below.

Code:

/, A, x, y, w, h, color;RGB
A,186,284,415,79,

GPS SETUP for skinbedder, information in this link is OFF by default and nolonger supported

IG GPS setup
Skinbedder is nolonger support in favor of ignative.
If you have been using previous versions of the skin, you will need to resetup GPS options in RRConfig to point to IG and not skinbedder.
In RRConfig under GPS
GPS Mode is "External"
GPS Path is C:\Program Files\iNav\iGuidance\iGuidanceUMPC.exe|nowarning
GPS Window Name is "iGuidance"

Inside the skin, if you are using IG3 by default the NAVI button is setup for IG3, if you need to reset it just click and hold and choose the first GPS option on the screen that pops up.
If your using IG2, click and hold the NAVI button and click more, then pick "IG2" button. The above setup in RRConfig applies to IG2 users also, but without UMPC.exe in the file name.

Other GPS options
For mapmonkey or Freedrive, just install mapmonkey/freedrive into the default install path and inside the skin, click and hold the NAVI button, in the screen that pops up, click the MORE button until you see the gps option you want. Thats it.

How do i stop the visuals from autoloading or stop the welcome message from starting?

the visuals and welcome message use the "LSONSKINSTART" command to auto load when RR runs.

To stop it from loading do this.

Load ExecTBL.ini (found inside the skin folder)
scroll to bottom of file and edit the "LSONSKINSTART" command

This command does 2 things when RR starts, it starts the visu and also displays the welcome message.

If you want to stop the visuals from autostarting use this line.

Code:

"LSONSKINSTART","RUN;LSTOOLS\welcomeMSG\welcome.exe||ratecheck2"

If you want the visuals to start but NOT the welcome message

Code:

"LSONSKINSTART","VISU||ratecheck2"

If you dont want either to autostart simply put a forward slash at the begin of line.

Code:

/"LSONSKINSTART","VISU||RUN;LSTOOLS\welcomeMSG\welcome.exe"

default setting

Code:

"LSONSKINSTART","VISU||RUN;LSTOOLS\welcomeMSG\welcome.exe||ratecheck2"
