Atmosphere skin [Released]

rustyboxx · 07-04-2006, 04:41 AM

After what seems to be an eternity and loads of help from Ashgrovered, I have finally finished my first proper skin.

Obviously it looks best at 800x600 but it is usable in CdR's RAD skin although the proportions aren't quite right.

There is one bug where the map screen won't respond to respond to touch after exiting from the gpsconfig screen. This is a FD issue I think. However, if you click on the map size icon the screen refreshes and the touch facility returns. One other thing, the number of speedcams wasn't displaying on my laptop when I took the screenies. It was displaying ok on my carpc so hopefully you shouldn't have a problem.

I've tried to keep it fairly simple with the screens and menus having pretty much the same appearance. I've stretched the map to get rid of the map zoom slider but you can change the skin.ini if you need to show this.

Ash has kindly put the skin in the downloads area Linky. Have a go and let me know what you think. If there is anything major that needs changing let me know and I'll see what I can do.

Screenies below to whet your appetite.

Huge thanks to Ash for his help and problem solving on this.

Thanks Sama

I've fixed the cams not showing, just a little prob with the ini. I've also tweaked a couple of other things while I was at it.

All you need to do is replace the speedcam line in the skin.ini with this:

speedcam =720,0,80,48,2,Trebuchet:B,36,000000,00ff00

It would be a good idea to do the sat line at the same time to keep the displays balanced on the screen. Change the sat line to this:

sat =-5,0,80,48,2,Trebuchet:B,36,000000,00ff00

Also, you might want to reduce the text size of the speed to 54 as it was cropped at the edges on the carpc. Your new line should look like this:

speed =340,-12,120,80,2,Space Age,54,ff0000,ff0000

Cheers

There are some additional tweaks in this thread on FreeDrive in response to some feedback. I will post further tweaks on FreeDrive as required and will use that thread as the main source for updates.

Anyone else tried the skin out yet?

This is still available for those who are interested.

By the look of the number of responses there ain't many though
