1) I manually loaded the fonts and it did make the list text a bit better, however with long artists I still can't see much of the song title (EX: "Rage Against the Machine - Killi", still better than "Rage Against the Machine - K" like I had before loading your fonts. Isn't your installer supposed to install the fonts for me? Anyway, I know you are going for an OEM look which requires big bars to click, but in my opinion 10 smaller lines allowing you to see more at a time, scroll through you song list in decimal (10 per page), and a smaller font-size allowing longer artist-title fields would be better.

2) Attached is a picture of my iG3 properly embedded in CF. I'd still love it if you could make me buttons that matched your skin. Also one issue with this that I'm sure is a CF bug (not skin related): When I open Sb-iG3, iG3 opens first in full screen (just for a split second), then it gets embedded to Sb which is already properly embedded in CF. The problem is that the part of the iG3 full-screen that overlaps the CF skin doesn't update for some time. I have to wait 5 seconds or so before the Nexus skin around the Sb embed is re-drawn over the remnants of the iG3 map. Hopfully David reads this and can fix it in RC2.

Edit: This is with Sb-iG3 configured to run in fullscreen. How come ther is no button to switch between full-screen with no bottom CF bar and "windowed" with the bottom CF bar? I usually want it as shown below, but if I want to press next-track it is much easier to switch to windowed than having to go back to the main menu to click next-track and then switch back to iG once done. Can you add that to Nexus or did David remove it as an option?

RPM: read the FAQ on post #1 . It explains how to switch from full to normal screen mde, in embedded apps. Lots of little tips and tricks in the FAQ, worth going through.

Your screenshot above shows the wrong font (Still!). It's ugly. My new installer (re-download) will install the fonts.

They should look like the font on my screenshot page 1.

I am finishing IG3 hack with matching buttons. Looks good so far!

I am 80% done with iG3 UMPC hack, to match the Nexus skin. What do you guys think?

Another

that is so cool.... what does it take to do that with ig3?

justintime · 08-06-2006, 09:57 PM

turbo:

Mostly editing bitmaps. need to be good with Photoshop.

I also use a tool called GoRC.EXE which will compile the RC resources and make a RES file, which is easily importable into ResHacker. *So you can batch import all bitmaps)

OMG *bows*

hm.. for me the IG3 is to big vertically.. i gata rescale it down.. or should i just wait b/c you already did that to match fullscreen cf?

er.. woops.. im using ITLv4.11 right now.. it has more buttons that makes it nice.. you should check it out.. maybe after doing that replace the icons for ITLv4.11 found here?

I need people to confirm that if they use the new installer, the FONTS get installed in the System / Fonts folder/

Your fonts should look exactly like Page 1 screenshots. Thanks!

Your reshacked iGuidance matches the skin perfectly. All very nice work.

RPM_VR4 · 08-07-2006, 02:09 AM

That was an old screen-shot before installing the fonts. I'll read the FAQ now

You did decide to go with UMPC version? Good... I love the left/right buttons. Will you make me left/right buttons and replacement zoom buttons for use with Sb? I hate the default zoom button location plus they are a perfect place for the left/right buttons which are a must have!

Edit: I had read the FAQ before when the skin first came out, I just forgot about that full screen before. Is it the entire left side, top left, bottom left? Oh well, I'm sure I will figure it out next time I drive my car

Skin will not work on my setup, it makes CF crash and doesn't show anything other than a black square which fills a 1/4 of the screen

Check and see that files were installed in the right place. Also, verify you have a logo.png file inside the Nexus skin folder. I once deleted it by mistake, and I got the black quarter square you describe.

Just hit the left center of your screen. It's basically a thin button than spans top to bottom to cover the height of the embedded app window. If you hit far let, dead center, you will always get it. Is thin, but its tall.
