Just because most people can't eat, drink, talk on the cell phone, and watch a movie while driving with their knee and doing 100 doesn't mean I can't LOL.

eh.....

but i think the point here is that david doesnt want to be liable for anything stupid other people may do.

Same law here in Denmark, if the vehicle is moving.... but why not make it an option then...

I might need to darken the new skin a bit first somehow... My other half cannot drive with new centrafuse running at night, she says it is too distracting!

Bet yeah, I am going to be making a new video, I have been able to add a bunch of new features to my car PC that have been 'waiting in the wings' for this version, thanks to its multiple-app support!

So David...

Any date for release 1.31?

In the meanwhile I am thinking of switching back to 1.2 and working out bugs on a test system cause the 1.3 is a bit too buggy to drive around with. And most enoying feature is now that songs do not resume to the next...

But I like a lot of the new things... especially the apps section.

What I am really missing too is the duration of the songs? Maybe a good idea is to put such song information below the album art when the song plays.

I must say I love this new skin! and I love centrafuse! I been a Mediacar fan for Alongggggggg time but now Im hooked on Centrafuse, one thing I would be cool is something to switch skins at a certain time, besides that Keep up the good work.

If the skin got darker that would be great, i noticed the same thing... but i love the new skin.

I would tend to agree ... but if I were david I'd be worried more about future legal issues. In this wonderful country we live in, it's not unheard of to be sued for giving a user a choice. It'd be very possible for someone to get in an accident with a video playing (not necesarily BECAUSE of the video) ... and david could get sued for producing an application that 'encouraged' playing videos in the drivers field of view.

Sounds crazy, I know ... but that's how things are done here.

In fact Ford lost a large lawsuit many years ago to some lady who's child died when the airbag deployed because HE was sitting too close to the dash. Ford designed their airbags according to regulations set forth by the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT ... yet somehow it ended up being the car manufacturers fault for a mother not following the instructions and letting her child sit too close to the dash.

well, I'm already working on a autoit script which closes cf, launches skinbedder+dscaler and re launches cf when I close skinbedder

Has anyone got Delorme Street Atlas 2005 to run as an app in CF 1.3? If so how did you set it up, i seem to be having a problem. It will launch it, but it launces in a new window.

you don't have the proper window name specified... Does it contain any special characters? Read this...
