OK, two more concerns....

1) Any chance we can get iGuidance intergrated? Seems to be the better choice - I HATE MapMonkey's tendency to route you all over the place...iGuidance routes much better.

2) No slider on video - so you can't move to anywhere else in the video, have to watch beginning to end. Should be relatively easy, no? I may try and tackle this if no one else does...

Great looking skin. Looks like a TON of work went into this one. Unforunately the audio buttons on each screen are just too small for my 7" touchscreen. Nice work though, I know you've got that nice big screen.

Huh? How are they too small? I find them to be perfect, and I have a 7" screen as well...

Also - Enforcer- do you have the original background file for the audio player? It's what I'm using for the sirius skin but it has the 1234 and repeat buttons in it, which of course I'd like to take out for Sirius.

Just want to get it cleaned up before I put the Sirius files up!

iGuidance I am looking into, but It seems there are a few ways of incorporating it.

1. using skinbedder
2. using igkeys.

plus a few others, unless I read it wrong. Unfortunately not having a copy I can't play with it. But I am definitely looking into it.

Not sure where a slider would fit into this style of skin. Maybe reduce the length of the video window and stick it under there?

Maybe for a future version. By all means have a go and post your results.

I thought so at first too.

However I have got used to them.

Just post up the skin file and I will add it to the next release with an edited set of jpegs.

( i only have the orginal BTBE version in JPEGS. no PSD's)

Enforcer · 02-05-2006, 07:38 PM

OK - ToDO list and what is ready for next release.

Ready

Mappoint screens
Weather is moved to Climate Menu

To Do

iGuidance - Although there is basic iGuidance I am looking into proper screens for it.
SIRUS - Hopefully soon as DMurray is working on it (No pressure

)
XM - should be just a clone of SIRUS
Config program - which is on it's way (just need to make it skinnable)
Change the order of the info on the top row
Add phone button to top row.

Things I'm Looking into

5 second skip on forward and backwards
Home button on screens
video slider on video screen

Screen for Lost Receptions draw program
Screen for LR's car maintenance
Screen for Rainlendar which More Mods is looking into
Screen for Mauri's Door alarm

If there is anything you would like to see a screen for then please post it and I will look into it.

Also if there is anything else you would like added or changed let me know and I will see if it will work.

Cheers

Maybe I'm just used to LSX with its nice big buttons. I gave this one a shot today and found myself often either missing the next track button, or hitting pause on accident.

Ah, I gotcha. I guess I'm spoiled with my steering wheel controls

This is not that much of a touch screen friendly skin...but it looks great. I guess you can't really have them all...

Looks and functionality have a way of just not blending in...

Whoa, hold on there mate, I find this very touch friendly. That's one of the reasons why I use it.

As I said I thought some of the buttons were small at first, but you get used to them.

I thought you use it because you helped design it

I was reffering to the audio controls as well. The most used button in the car (at least for me anyway), is the "next" button, and that's not a TS friendly button.

Chill E., I wouldn't like it if it were in anyway different.
