I still have not discovered why I get this blue artifact TOP LEFT... Any ideas?

Do you still get it if you apply another skin?

OK, I just re-tested this... The issue of the 'Blue artifact' on the top left appears only if I set all the button's Width, Height properties to 0,0. I did not want buttons at the top of my screen, so I basically made tham all 0,0. If I set them to 1,1 instead, the problem goes away.

Now, a diferent issue I have, is that the Min,Max button is not doing anything for me. It is the only button I left enabled, and it is actually at the LEFT of the iguiance screen. It is a the 7 pixel wide area on the left of the iguidance screen... Any ideas?

Glad you figured out that artifact issue. As for the Min/Max button, sounds like something is wrong with your skin file. In skin.xml, make sure that the <MINMAX> node has the appropriate <width> and <height> of your button size. Also, make sure the <X> and <Y> values are set correctly relative to your image. Does everything look right there? Maybe paste the entier <MINMAX> node here so I can take a look

Ogold,

Here is the code:

Code:

<MINMAX>
<X>0</X>
<Y>63</Y>
<WIDTH>7</WIDTH>
<HEIGHT>278</HEIGHT>
<FONTNAME>MyriadSemiBold</FONTNAME>
<FONTSIZE>12</FONTSIZE>
<FONTSTYLE>Normal</FONTSTYLE>
<FONTCOLOR>#FFFFFF</FONTCOLOR>
<SECONDCOLOR>#000000</SECONDCOLOR>
<XOFFSET>0</XOFFSET>
<YOFFSET>0</YOFFSET>
<ENABLETEXT>False</ENABLETEXT>
<ALIGN>Center</ALIGN>
<TABINDEX>2</TABINDEX>
</MINMAX>

Is this the same skin from the screenshot you posted on the previous page? Where exactly is this min/max button? Are you trying to make it go across the entire left side of the skin only 7 pixels wide?

Yes, same skin as my pic. Yes, the intent is to make the 7 pixel wide strip the 'button'. I know it may not make much sense, but it has worked for me very well (when implemented throughout the other screens)

The only reason I can think of why it's not working is that something is overlapping with it. Make sure that the application and no other buttons share the same X value. Try playing around with it a bit and see if you can it working.

Well I tried changing the regions, and it still does not work. (MINMAX).

Regardless, I am using this in my car now, and I love it. Thank you.

This isn't a feature of the plugin, but rather iGuidance. If you lower the volume settings in iGuidance, it'll automatically lower whatever sound is coming through your speakers to that level before speaking directions.

nadforever · 07-01-2008, 12:24 PM

no its not that its to loud its that the music is the same volume as the girl speaking, so i wanted the girl volume to stay the same and the music volume to go down so i can hear better what she is saying.

Lowering the volume in iGuidance will lower the music playing, but also the directions being spoken (although it helps). People have encoded the sound wavs so they're played louder, read this for more info: http://www.mp3car.com/vbulletin/gps/...-volume-3.html

Just updated the plugin to v1.0 adding a few new features

Added support to remove the top buttons, from the setup menu, to maximize window size

Thanks for updating us on this. What does the above mean? I have been using the plugin without top buttons (created my own skin) without issues...!

Well it means you don't have to make your own skin anymore :-)

You're right, you could make your own skin without the top buttons and change the skin.xml to have the same effect. Or you could just update any existing skin from the settings menu to show or hide the top buttons.
