To use the native Garmin Mobile Pc screen, make sure to select GARMIN PC in the apps select menu.

By pressing the eLite Lite logo on any screen, it will always take you to the Main Menu screen.

If you would like to use your own logo instead of the eLite Lite logo, go to the eLite Lite

It's awesome

japeeler · 01-30-2008, 05:29 PM

I have to say.. I Like that Clean Look, Too!! Keep it coming.

CARLOS_CET · 01-30-2008, 05:32 PM

Looks pretty good and it's hard for a skin to catch my eye but this one does. Will you have other color options besides the blue. Keep it up!

NiSlo · 01-30-2008, 06:06 PM

That.Is.Excellent!

That is a superb looking skin except perhaps that it is a little bit dark, but keep up the awesome work.

SentraVIP · 01-30-2008, 11:37 PM

Blue, Red, Amber and White... that shud cover most of the color matchers concerns?

suavecito · 01-31-2008, 12:07 AM

Thank you for the comments and feedback. I am planing to release this skin in four or five colors
Blue, Red, Amber, Green and maybe White, the most common dashboard colors in cars.
The beta release will only be available in Blue.
I feel that there is no reason to have to redo all of the work if changes are needed to be made.

Now as for the darkness of the skin, that will depend on the background image used.
The lighter the image, the lighter the skin.
However if you think the skin needs to be lighter let me know.
