Outstanding skin LS!!!




You can use any menu...you just have to get into the skin file and REM out the ilist. Look for this line in the menu skin located in the root directory of the skin (once you have a menu with an ilist):

IL,PL,transparent.bmp,sel.bmp,end.bmp,0,70,50

to REM it out just put a / in front of it.

when I did this, it changed the ilist back to the old type list.


LS, I messed up my main menu by accidentally changing the OPT button to Games. I looked for the Opt button to change it back but couldn't find it. Where in the skin file do I change it back to Opt and what is the Opt button number?

thanks for all the tips.

-in regards to your question whether the default menu contains an ilist, the answer is yes. i had it up and running for a few minutes before i got the error and it was purty

-in regards to your question about the jumpdrive, i have a simple kingston datatraveler drive, with no fancy or proprietary security or encryption software, and i have reformatted the entire drive to fat32 in mac and pc more than once. ill give a shot to your custom drive letter solution, but its just weird that it was working and then stopped. also, just to clarify, the drive letter E:\ shows up in the list along the bottom, but when I click it, nothing happens.

-also in regards to the SEND2 button, what you described above sounds like the function of the COPY2 buttons for sending files directly to your most used folders. i still dont get what SEND2 does.

-in regard to google maps, the sidebar did not close even when i manually typed in several addresses or locations in the search box. not the end of the world, just something to note as you move forward i suppose.

************************************************
-also i noticed several things which are mostly insignificant and don't affect functionality much. numbers 1 and 2 are bigger, the remaining ones are minute.

1) in your seeq function, if you preview a file the audio player stops. however if you exit the seek skin and start playing a song again, the audio file being previewed does not stop, and both play simultaneously. also, for some reason, sometimes when i exit the seeq screen and go back to audio, it just cycles through my playlist, playing each song for 2 seconds. i have to go back into seeq and hit 'stop' to fix it.

2) in BBAA, using search seems to bring up a list of files containing the search word. however, the files are listed with no picture above them (not even an empty folder icon) and the full path of the file is displayed rather than the file name, making it necessary to wait for the text to scroll across before you can actually see the name of the song. also, using this search somehow breaks the album art icons above each of the albums, so that even in BBAA view, the entire list is displayed without any album art, only the text (i can upload a pic if need be)

2)also, your seeq function allowed me to find files on another computer on my network which i dont even have the password for or access to. how is this possible? maybe im just going crazy, but i disabled the network card and the files did not show up, and then when i re-enabled it and re-searched, they showed up again.

3)the blackout screen has the wifi icon in the upper right corner showing.

4) the triple dot graphic between the end of an ilist and the beginning is not there anymore like it was in 3.0

5)rolling over the DEL button in xplorrer shows the wifi icon in the background.

***********************************************
last question, is there a day skin included or on the way?

Well, that certainly makes sence about why the ilist disappeared...........

Working fine now.

Does disabling auto album art mean it will now not show on the main screen (well, once ilists are fixed) or is this option only apply to the audio screen?

The album art on the audio screen is a nice feature (now that I see I was using my files without album art embedded, doh!), would it be possible to toggle it back and forth either through a button or a "click" instead of it doing it automatically or not at all? That would give users the option of having art when they want it...................

There should be a CONFIG button. That's the OPT button.

On another note, my system DOES lock up with the color picker. Haven't tried themes yet. This didn't happen to me in 3.0. It just started to happen with the 3.2 install.

Another one, when I open NAVI (iGuidance) I get those 2 pop up displays. I think one is like a full screen minimize (top right) and the other has like a play, forward, reverse and I think an ATT button. After I close NAVI the 2 menus are still their. Are those 2 menu's only supposed to appear in full screen mode of the GPS? I don't switch to full screen and they appear.

I believe I have a new problem but I'm not sure where it stems from. I had the skin working fine but when I changed things and reloaded it I got the Error 13 Mismatch. After a quick check on the site I found out that was due to the AutoInstaller putting an old RR version on. No problem. So I got the binary. Overwrote it on my desktop computer, problem solved.

When I tried that on the carputer the skin loaded but is cut off. It is hard to explain but when it loaded, the quick tour menu pops up and it mostly grayed over. Very difficult to read. Click on no tour and goes to the skin. But the only thing that shows up is a vertical view of the skin about an inch wide. Basically all I can see is a small portion of the song progress bar. I have deleted Void and Road Runner. Reinstalled and keep getting the same problem. Any help would be appreciated

2) thats really weird, the search is being pulled from an online database. Maybe that machine is open to the internet and you dont know.

What kind of thumb drive do you have? I have a few usb drives and 2 thumbdrives here, one is a lexar jumpdrive and the other is a sandisk micro cruzer. Both show up fine. One thing to note, the drives must be plugged in and present before RR starts and or before you enter the explorrer screen. I believe i only check for new drives when RR first loads and again when you enter the explorer screen. There could be an issue with how your drive is identifying itself to the system, since some of the drives do some weird stuff to support standalone installs of apps, like one thumbdrive i have has 2 drive letters and one of them shows up as a CD drive, but its really just a disk image on the thumbdrive that mimics a cd.
Since the action of scanning for the drives on the system is totally independent of the actual explorer screen and features, you can disable the autoscan and manually specify the drives you want to use.
To disable the drive scan, edit ExecTBL.ini inside the skins folder.
Edit line #7 and remove the CHECKDRIVELETTERS command from that line. But DO NOT change anything else on that line or you will break the whole skin.
Then edit SKIN.ini and scroll to the bottom of the file, you will see where it list the drive letters. Just fill in the drive following the same pattern for drives already present.
Note any new drives you add or remove will NOT show up unless they are in listed in skin.ini.

the color picker is exactly the same as it was in 3.0. Are you picking a color? What exactly happens when you try to go to that screen, does the screen ever show up? Or it locks after teh screen shows?

For IG, go the OPT>GPS options and choose a layout. I believe the default layout is fullscreen mode so thats why you see the buttons. They should leave when you exit. But if the layout wasnt selected correctly (prob my fault on resetting the skin defaults) it may not know to close them. Just choose a gps layout and retry, that should work it out.

As soon as I click on the color picker button, the screen locks up. I don't know what's going on but if I do the same thing via logmein, I don't have that problem. Same goes with the Audio button. With logmein, the system locks up with an InitDX error. If I press the Audio button while sitting in the car, I have no problem. Anyway, I'll get you a debug readout.



That fixed the problem. Thanks.

Maybe I'll PM him tomorrow if I get no help. There are instructions here but I just don't know how to use a hex editor. I tried and I got an owee in my head.

did you register your gdipluswrapper dll?



i had no idea it was an online search, i thought it was local. what database are you searching?



i tried your above suggestions, and like i said, the drive E shows up in the list but nothing happens when i click it. ill just use the workaround from now and test with another drive if i can
