iGuidance Hacks

pbarrette · 09-08-2007, 06:00 PM

Hi All,

I've been trying to customize iGuidance3 to match my skins in RR and have discovered a few things that I haven't seen mentioned before.
----------------------------------------------
1) Button transparency.
----------------------------------------------

The menu buttons seem to use white (255,255,255) as a transparency color. Any white area will be subtracted from the button image and replaced with the window background color

The "Favorites" button is an oval surrounded by white:

But on the menu, the white is the window background color:

Unfortunately, this doesn't create a transparency area through to the background image. It only allows you to show through to the button area background color.

----------------------------------------------
2) Menu Window Background color.
----------------------------------------------

By default, it's this nasty blueish, offwhite color (231,237,249). Poking around with my hex-editor, I found that I can change it to the dark-grey color you see as the area just outside the "favorites" oval above.

The address in iGuidanceUMPC.exe is 0x19D89.

The default color is "E7 ED F9", but you can change it to whatever suits you.

----------------------------------------------
3) Menu Text Background color.
----------------------------------------------

So, you changed the window background color, but now you're left with this problem with the text area background color:

So, back to the hex editor at 0x1AA3E. Again, change the color to whatever you prefer.

----------------------------------------------
4) Daytime Street Name Color.
----------------------------------------------

I assume that most people reading this have used, or at least seen Purdoom's find regarding the nighttime street name color. Again with the hex-editor, finding the only block containing "A0 FF A0 00" and you end up at offset "0x8412D".

So, like many people, you want it to be white, so you change it to "FF FF FF 00", but now your daytime street name color is this horrid purple. Well, look just a few characters back, at "0x84126" where you see "60 00 5F FF".

This is a bit more complex. It seems that the nighttime street-name color is always set from 0x8412D. But the daytime street-name color is set by adding the 0x84126 and 0x8412D together.

So.. When you change the nighttime color to "FF FF FF 00", you get:
FF FF FF 00
+ 60 00 50 FF
-------------
= 60 00 5E FF

Keep in mind that RGB values are usually stored as RGBA (alpha). I don't quite understand how iG3 uses that "A" value yet.

So what's the practical application of this?
Say we want a "White" night text, but a "Red" day text.

Find the block that contains "60 00 5F FF 50 81 C1 A0 FF A0 00", and change it to "FF 00 01 FF 50 81 C1 FF FF FF 00".

"FF 00 01 FF" + "FF FF FF 00" = "FF 00 00 FF" or R(255)-G(0)-B(0)-A(FF).

Do not mess with the characters in the middle: "50 81 C1". That's the assembly code that is pushing the variables on the stack and adding the two color values together.

If anyone has any ideas about how the day/night switch is made for these values, please let me know. IE: Why does the color addition only happen for the day street-names, when the assembly code doesn't appear to take that difference into account.
-------------------------------------------

Anyway, I hope this helps some of you with your iGuidance customizations.

Awesome. Thanks a lot for looking into this and sharing.

pbarrette · 09-08-2007, 07:15 PM

Hi JIT,

I'm glad you like my finds.

I'd also like to note that I ran RegMon while launching iG3 and discovered that iGuidance is trying to read the following registry entries, which don't exist on my system.

HKCU\Software\iNav\iGuidance\
-AngleInstWeight
-AngleWeight
-DST
-ErrBetaAdjPct
-ErrNormDenominator
-ErrNormNumerator
-MaxRouteAdjDist
-NumDist
-NumPathsCheckedforRoute
-Options2
-RecentLimit
-RouteAdjOnlyHwy
-RouteAllowance
-SiRFFix
-StatBoxMode
-TimeZone
-TripStatCnt
-XScale
-YScale

I don't yet know what the types are. I'd assume most are REG_DWORD's, but I haven't done any real testing of these yet.

Back again,

I've found a few more iGuidanceUMPC v3 color locations:
0x2FB7E Detour - Distance to Avoid
0x32CF8 Address - State Name
0x331E1 Current Destination
0x5E5A4 OSK - Highlighted Item
0x62A16 - Left side Guidance Bar
0x62A47 - Right side Guidance Bar
0x62A7F - Bottom Guidance Status Bar
0x6A307 POI - State Name
0x6A3C4 POI - Distance
0x78711 OSK - Top-Bar Text

There are a few of these in the file. They affect the keyboard button order in the OSK.
0xD3BF8 "Select City" - OSK Key layout order.

pb

justintime · 09-09-2007, 06:16 AM

Excellent!!!

I think the last one is wrong:
$D3BF8

What exact vrsion of iGuidance 3.x are you using for this?

ANy chance you can find the location for the HIGHLITE color used on most list items? I believe it is currently set at a value of 00 00 80 (blue).

pbarrette · 09-09-2007, 12:55 PM

Hi JIT,

You're absolutely right. I read my notes wrong. That address is actually the key layout order for the OSK used when selecting a city. Oddly, there seem to be multiple OSK layouts throughout the code. Changing this one does not affect the OSK that comes up when asked to choose a new state, for instance.

Thanks for catching that. I've edited my post accordingly.

pb

pbarrette · 09-09-2007, 01:27 PM

Hi Again,

Found your address JIT.
0x5E5A4 is the color for the highlighted item in the OSK.

EDIT:

Bonus!

I found those nasty blue side bars in the guidance screen.
0x62A16 - Left side Guidance Bar
0x62A47 - Right side Guidance Bar

pb

justintime · 09-09-2007, 01:40 PM

I made this change and it seems to affect the OSK hilite only... I was wondering, is it possible to change other lists' hilite? Fo example the Favorites list...

Thanks, this is great.

pbarrette · 09-09-2007, 02:37 PM

Hi JIT,

that's right. The OSK hightlight color is "00 00 80". It took me a bit to find the item-list hightlights, which are acutally "00 00 C0".

0x2BA2A - Current Destination - Avoid Road Highlighted Item
0x52503 - Most Item Highlights
0x6CAD1 - Route List Highlighted Item

I've found a number of others as well, and I'm adding them to the main list in Post #1.

pb

justintime · 09-09-2007, 07:15 PM

This list is a gem... absolutely great! I have almost all the odball colored stuff corrected now... looks very slick. How on earth did you figure out what is what? Are you peeking in assembly code?

justintime · 09-09-2007, 07:19 PM

Note that your (2) change in first post (Background color) seems to affect what the application takes for transparency color in the bmp images!

pbarrette · 09-09-2007, 09:20 PM

Hi JIT,

I'm now hunting the white colors. I've got well over 400 possibilities here, so it could take some time.

That said, I've stumbled across the button transparency color: 0x56AC2

The color at that location defines the button bitmap transparency.

pb

pbarrette · 09-10-2007, 10:35 PM

Hello all,

A large number of color locations have been added to the first post. I have also changed the descriptions for some of the existing locations in an attempt to standardize them.

justintime · 09-10-2007, 11:31 PM

pbarrette deserves huge pat on the back for tremendous effort on this. Thanks man, this is a monster list, and most useful information here!
