not really but it would be cool to be able to change it up every once in a while.

Is it possile to have a file of like 10 rotating pictures?

i agree. especially after looking at the same picture for hours building the skin. i don't really know how you could make it random...

UBERNAME · 08-20-2006, 12:12 PM

i wonder if the program would accept .swf files instead of .jpg... i.e. main_normal.swf ...reddeath????

you would have to sync it up with logo.swf and maybe run it so it "changed" every hour or so. i'm not a flash guy so i don't know if you can make it random or how big of a file that would be.

Sorry the only thing that can be animated is the logo. For simplicity in the code, I dont want to get to involved with making animated or changing backgrounds, however a timer that changes from one skin set to another on a given interval, like 1 day, 1 week, 1 month etc. might be kind of cool. I will play around with it and see what it would take. Thanks for the suggestion.

reddeath30 · 08-23-2006, 09:34 PM

trying to make a skin right now...maybe 30% done. one quick question,
How do you change the design/color etc of the tracking bar, its obvious how to change the stock blue part but how do you change the green part like the part you see when the song is half way done and 80% done etc etc...

Thanks

oh and how do you change the font size for the song title and volume

spaniard · 10-10-2006, 05:01 AM

little preview of what im workin on,
saw a bmw one i liked by someone so that got me started =)

still trying to figure out how to change the font tho ???

we87 · 10-10-2006, 02:42 PM

Well done, looks great...

Make sure whatever you do, you end up with a Chevy add-on :P

spaniard -> Dude that BMW skin is sick! As soon as your done with it, I want it to post on my site. Unfortunately the font type is hard coded, but Im going to see about changing that in the next release.

spaniard · 10-11-2006, 12:35 PM

Thanks!!, i think it is coming along pretty well. about 45% done now, this stuff is time consuming! lol, i'll definately let you know when its finished and i would be happy to let you put it on your site. I'll provide a psd file of a blank logo so people could change the bmw logo to something else if they please.

hey reddeath, if you changed something like editable font in the next release do you think it would have a huge effect on the design. I would really like to take advantage of theeditable font but don't want to have to redesign the layout once its done =)

Thanks,

installed your software on my home pc and lovin it so far, great job on the software! can't wait to install it on my car pc!
