THANKS

You can use GammaControl. It will change Road Runner's skin, and also FreeDrive's!

Then just make sure your skins call the "MAIN" command whenever they are supposed to call the main menu. You CAN make a chain of commands based on skin name for the EXIT command but it only makes it more complicated.

thanks, that works like a charm.

Like others, I've noticed that skin drawing is slower than the previous version. I get temporary black screen and "flashing" when switching between skins.

Ahh! so i WASN`T alone!!

thought i was the only one! =)

yeah, I'm looking into the black "flashing".. I have noiced that too.. it's just that while writing the code, I can typically choose between speed OR memory optmizations, so I have to keep finding a balance..

Hi Guino,one small question?

Is it possible to increase the LINE IN volume for the use with the radio D-Link?
If I settings to 100% the LINE IN and the same the Master Volume is very low respect the same percentage of Audio player (100% is very higt in the Audio player!)

Is it one old problem of the D-Link radio....

Thanks

Mauri

How about an option in the config tool where we can choose memory or speed optimization? I prefer speed my self after RR is loaded

Make one mixer preset for MP3 and one for Radio.. then load them when starting/stopping radio (using exectbl.ini):

"AUDIO","PRESET;MP3||LOAD;Audio_player.skin",F M
"RADIO","NOPRESET",FM
"RADIO","PRESET;Radio||LOAD;radio_player.skin"
"NOPRESET","RADIO"

There's so much that'd have to be changed inside RR's code that it would really be a matter of making two different versions of RR.

RoyN · 08-27-2005, 12:59 PM

Yeah I was thinking about that, but when developing it isnt really a linear thing that you can just assign certain values to speed/memory... it is usually a completely different programming approach....

I just tested yesterday, and I'm also getting loads of flashing, SCROLL-LEFT labels that stutter, etc... I'm running 512mb RAM and basically nothing xcept FD and RR... Also I noticed that whenever clicking a button the pressed/hover state will flicker 3 or 4 times right after the click....it kind of serves as a clicked notification, but it isnt pretty as some labels also tend to flash

Just trying to give you as much info as I can Guino, not dissing RR in any way... I hope you can get these ironed out!

The 8/9/2005 patch you sent me awhile back is rock solid except the xm hibernate, which was ok before that

Guino

Yesterday I installed ATI 9200 with 128md mem on my w2000
And it made no difference with 8-21 or 8-9 versions. I had to take it back out because it would not let me hibernate and the tv Reception sucks.

So now I am back to running 8-9 with screenlimit=5

RoyN · 08-27-2005, 09:02 PM

Guino, I'm also having some cursor hiding problems... It isnt always hiding.... didnt have this previously, but I had an early august release....
