Are these digital fonts really work for you? I tried them- they are great on desktop but they really suck in-car.

Nice skin!

~i'm not sure about the buttons in the main menu, shutdown menu, and search/keyboard.. Please advise me..

I think the buttons are fine perhaps more contrast might make them 'pop' a bit more.

1) when it comes to user interfaces, I'm a bit of a minimalist.. the play/pause button could be the same (IMHO).
2) I like the two sections that you have but the bezel/frame around them seem different. The top segment seems out of place w/ the bottom segment (that I do like).

Nice skin!

just installed it in my car.. The fonts are indeed hard to read, the ones generated by playlist and so on are going wel, but the others are not that good.. Looking for some new fonts...

Sweet. I love it.

character spacing on "exi t", "mi ni", "setti ngs", "hi bernate" and "syncron ize" --and others appears off.

--maybe it's the font.

It's the font.. I know... As I said.. need new fonts. Anyone?

How 'bout an LCD font of some sort?

--no, I don't have any handy.

Well, I would like to replace the VIDEO button with the MINIMIZE one, the MUSIC and GPS with MODE PREVIOUS and MODE NEXT and FAVORITES with TASK.

All these are buttons that you didn't include in your skin. What I asked, is if you can make these buttons as small standalone jpgs, so that I could just edit the skin to my preferences.
I know that I really should learn to photoshop

@grepzen.. I changed the bevel.. It's looking better now..
Also changed the font in playlist to Arial..

Can't wait to get this one installed

TheKingPlaza · 01-09-2005, 01:34 PM

Ok.. another update...
I think I keep it this way..

Removed the icons for fullscreen, shuffle, repeat and toggle.
In the upper screen links for changing mode. Got some fancy icons to make the skin more business..

Next week I expect to get my usb radio, (http://www.radio-xtreme.com/) so my next target is to make the fm radio skin.

BTW i got these icons form here:
