Is anyone gonna reshack the driver icon and zoom icons on 2.1? Sorta like on page 9 of this thread. If so please share! I've already messed up my installation twice fooling with the reshacker.

First of all, all the icons should be interchangable. The only hard part is keeping everything in the right place.

Next, always keep a non modified version of the EXE somewhere on your hard drive. Next, as you make changes, save and test them. If you don't like the results, you can always revert to a previous version of the exe. You certainly shouldn't be messing your installation up. You can always just replace the EXE. In fact, when I was doing this with Routis (They are basically the same) after I installed the program, I just copied the folder with the exe to another folder. I then created two shortcuts, one to each folders exe. In that way, I could constantly make changes to the exe, and just click the appropriate shortcut to test it out. And, If I remember correctly, I was able to run 2 versions of the program (With out tracking, although I bet I could do that with a virtual port splitter) so that I coudl compared the changes.

edit: whoops..... found answer to my question

um your a noob.

iGuidance does not come with the theme.ini file. You have to put it in the iguidance directory yourself. If you don't have the file, look through this thread and you will fine the file. If you have version 2.1 you're going to have to a call the file ctheme.ini otherwise its named theme.ini

Wiredwrx · 06-01-2005, 01:14 AM

Well,

I can't seem to get theme or ctheme to work with the DVD version of IG 2.1.1.

Has anyone had any luck with that version. I tried so hard to get a 2.0 and 2.1 version, but the retailer thought he was doing me a favor by getting me 2.1.1.

Anyone have any ideas?

Arggg, I hope we/me/I/you/us can figure this out.

CTHEME.INI:

Code:

; street name font size in points @ zoom level
STS=16 16 16 16 16 16 16 16 16 16 16

This works in iG 2.1. Lets hope it works in 2.1.1.

I have 2.0... I'll trade you

. Seriously... isn't there a free way to upgrade to the latest point-release? I could see charging extra for 3.0, but 2.1???

Marvin Hlavac · 06-02-2005, 06:13 AM

Yes, there is ;-)

Read the section titled "Free v2.1.1 exchange for existing v2.1 customers"

EDIT: Ooops, sorry, I just noticed you have 2.0 ;-)

Sonicxtacy02 · 06-02-2005, 02:21 PM

Ok i have my exe all set up with new arrows and bigger zoom buttons. If anyone would like it PM me (for iguidance 2.1). Is it just me or does 2.1 pick up less sats than 2.0 did? Also, has anyone found a way to increase the font size in the Favorites/Recent lists. If those were readable without effort i'd actually have everything running smoothly on that front. (well cept for the damn usb/hibernation issue)

Nope, it doesn't.

Marvin, Mr IG Genius,

Would you like to take a look at my 2.1.1 DVD version to see if you can figure out the *theme.ini issue. It doesn't seem to work in 2.1.1, and I have a feeling you might be able to figure it out.

So, what do you say?

Michael

Marvin Hlavac · 06-02-2005, 03:02 PM

Give me a few days. I will have my DVD copy of 2.1.1 and that'll be the first thing I'll look into.

In the mean time tell us what your CTHEME.INI does:

1. It prevents your iGuidance from starting

2. It does nothing

3. It causes your iGuidance to crash.

Which one?

RPM_VR4 · 06-03-2005, 01:08 AM

I just got a copy of 2.1 (I don't think it is 2.1.1 as the File|About just has V2.1NA) and I can't get it to work. My 2.0 theme.ini does nothing, and if I rename it to ctheme.ini, I get:

"iGuidance has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."

As soon as I double click the exe.

Can someone PM me the contents of a theme2.ini/ctheme.ini that works with 2.1?

RPM_VR4 · 06-03-2005, 01:30 AM

UPDATE: I removed the MBC setting and then my ctheme.ini worked fine (no more crashing). I would still like to know what ALL the possible settings are.

SUMMERY: If you have 2.1, remove this from ctheme.ini:
; map background color (day nite)
MBC=255,249,230 0,0,0

Map font size can be changed with this:
; street name font size in points @ zoom level
STS=20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20

Road thickness in 2D view mode is changed by this:
; road pen width in pixels @ 100ft FC1-2-3-4-5
RPW0=6 6 5 4 3
;RPW0=2 2 2 2 1
(and the lines bellow this one in your *.ini)

This affects which road and geo-feature classes are displayed at different zoom levels:
; max funclass to draw @ zoom level
MDFC=5 5 5 5 5 4 3 3 2 2 1
;MDFC=5 5 5 5 4 4 3 3 2 2 1

This changes day / night route color:
; route colors
RTC=0,0,255 0,0,255 0,255,0 0,255,0

These settings I find to be useful the most, but there are a few other settings we may experiment with.

P.S. As Michael <Wiredwrx> discovered last night "the hard way", users of the newest iGuidance 2.1.1 have to change the name of the configuration file back to THEME.INI ;-)
