I'm using a theme file which I have spent way too much time on; the large zoom and location icons, both posted in the "font size is killing me" thread in zip files. And I'm using 14-16 size font on all the menus that work with it. Size 16 is a huge help for certain menus, like display options and route options, it "looks right" on them too, and moderately helpful on the destinations menu and sub-menus (except for the coordinates menu, has to stay at 10). I've also removed all the title bars with Reshack, and made a few larger bitmaps to replace small ones. But I can't do anything about the main menu and destinations menu, I can't get rid of the yellow box. I'm sure there's a way so simple I'm missing it. I'm working on replacement menus.

What I'm really waiting for is better integration with Roadrunner. I don't want to have to run several apps just to improve iGuidance, the less processes the better. So I'm living with unreadable speed display and usually only entering destinations which are in my favorites or by POI. I'd like to see the RR OSK work with iGuidance.

Hi Fonseca. I spent a few hours hacking iGuidance with ResHack, and making all the buttons larger throughout.

Take a look at this thread which I started yesterday. Not sure what your problem is with the main menu? As you can see, I put larger buttons, and the areas are fully clickable. Yes, the yellow area is fixed, so we have to live with that I guess.

I have found that when changing the font size in the dialogs, the buttons tend to get larger, but the Font itself remains the same size (confused!).
Have you managed to get the actual font larger throughout all dialogs? How?

Nope, the font size stays the same, but increasing it spaces out the buttons enough that you can actually hit the one you want with a 7" screen. Example of size 16 below. I think it looks decent. Not ideal, but good enough for now.

Added to my iGuidance FAQ!

AWDNUT · 01-03-2006, 04:45 AM

Okay this is addictive.. Many thanks to both PURDooM and justintime!!

I have a Silver theme going on but the blue looked so good.. So I compromised:

If anyone wants the images (they are numbered according to what I have in my version 2.1) just RIGHT CLICK HERE and then save-as..

Must sleep now..

Civic03 · 01-03-2006, 04:09 PM

That is awsome. I'm just about to install IGMod and can't wait to play with these images. I hope there is a readme with it.

AWDNUT · 01-03-2006, 07:25 PM

My images are just what I changed, you need to do all the other patches first..

Oh and yeah I think the side bar with the logos sucks, it's gonna go.

What I need help with is why does my route screen look like this?:

Is this a known bug? I couldn't find it in the dialog resources..?

Civic03 · 01-03-2006, 08:02 PM

What other patches are you referring to? Any chace of making other car images for that Subaru image to the left side?

I need to work on this on my other PC and I may aswell use this as a spot to hold it for a sec since it's like 4kb. I'll get rid of the funny part and make it look purdy in a few mins.

EDIT: This more like work than I like. I only finished this cause it was funny..

PURDooM · 01-03-2006, 09:13 PM

JIT also changed some values for the width/height and the coordinates of the images for the iGuidance menus.

I recomend applying JIT's patch, then your new images next.

AWDNUT · 01-03-2006, 09:27 PM

Hmm it must be a flaw in his last patch or something (I've only run his latest patch no others). I got all the images I modified from my .exe after using his patch. There's no way I could of not used his patch because his images are all in there too and his patch won't touch a modified .exe?
