Yea... ya MAY be losin it man! Heheheh I just downloaded the ones in LostReceptions post#2, and they are the default skins to match an unaltered iG keyboard colors ect.

Glad you got em though. I have one small issue with the KB I need to fix. The text lable at the top (ENter City, Enter Street Name) ect, is not showing correctly. Will have that fixed in the next day or so.

I'm giving blue devil a try and so far it's looking very nice.
A couple of questions/suggestions... (don't we all have them?

The next song/prev song button moves around the interface depending on which screen you're on.. Makes it trickier to change songs while driving as you have to look away from the road to figure out which screen you're on and where the next song button is hiding.
Where is the playlist save button? I've been punching most every button and can't seen to find it.
How do I minimize RR? I have it set to eat my taskbar while in use and if I have to head to the desktop for whatever reason I have to exit RR in order to do that.
Does the Clear Cue button have a purpose in the playlist pane? It does work well as a 'make the car quiet' button.

Once that button is pressed you have to head to the browser pane in order to add more music anyway and that also has a Clear Cue button.
How do I get random working?

I think that's enough for now.

Ok, to answer a few few questions:

so john is there any way to modify the clock.swf flash animation, so that it displays the mitsubishi.swf file centered instead of the blue mitsubishi logo??

Unfortunately, no. The logo in the center is a standard png that is being "pulled" by the SWF clock. At the moment, unfortunately, is is one or the other.

Ok, that is something I will have to look into, I know it's kind of a pain at times. It's just a matter of some screen require more/less buttons at the bottom, and balancing that with trying to have fundemental controls on all screens. I will see what I can come up with

You can't find the save playlist button, because I forgot it!

hehe silence the car button LOL! Good one, well with the two above comments/questions, it was an obvious fix. The "Clear Cue" is now replaced by a "Save Playlist button" on the playlist screen. Right above it a "Load Playlist" button has been created where the "repeat" function was located.

This one was covered in POST 66

Currently, there appears to be a problem with Road Runner toggling the names correctly in the playlist screen. It works perfectly in the browser. With this being the case, I replaced the 'Toggle" button on the Playlist screen with a "Shuffle" button.

All of these updates, plus other issues since post #55 are now available in the latest download in the first post of this thread.

And to quote Skywise from above:

Kepp the bug reposts and suggestions coming guys....

skywise · 09-18-2006, 07:58 AM

Thanks for the quick response and changes to the skin!
A couple of curiosities/comments..
The load playlist button doesn't seem to do anything (other than click in a satisfying way

And I think you were a little inaccurate in your statement that you changed the 'toggle name' button with a shuffle button. You changed function of the button but left it very stealthily named 'Toggle Names'

And I'll happily keep the bug/suggestions coming, it's a great skin!

JohnWPB · 09-18-2006, 11:35 AM

I re-hid the layer I think when saving the layers between various states Off/Down/On ect. I have put the correct images in, and re-did the zip file.

Sorry for the entire download again, but it can get really confusing to have pieces of the skin here and there throughout a thread. I have seen it MANY times, where someone will say "XXX dosent work" and there is always a reply saying to get the file that was missed/patched in XX post in the thread.

Also having multiple downloads in the first post is also a pain in the arse to say the least

As for the "LOAD Playlist" that is something I am still working on. Right now there is no command in the SkinCommands.txt file on how to do it. (Other than hard coding the name of the playlist on a button that is).

I hope to have that sorted out here soon, and will be part of the next update hopefully.

Great work John!
I sent you a PM did you read it? if not let me know I'll resend

BlixAudi · 09-18-2006, 07:45 PM

Hi,

from what I have seen, the skin looks awesome! also love the way it integrates into iGuidance.

But I am having 1 problem with it:
Whenever RR loads up with Bluedevil, has the following features:
- it is about 50 pixels in from the left side
- about 1/3 of the screen is hidden below the bottom of the screen (loose everything from the right side of the blue circle in the middle)
- about 1/3 of the screen is hidden out the right side of the screen (loose everything from below the blue circle in the middle)

I know RR can work fine, because it works fine with other skin(s). Also I have RR running fine with another skin, then change to BlueDevil from within RR, and it shifts off centre again.

any ideas? Perhaps just keep downloading as you make changes until it finally works?

Thanks
Mike

In the beta a few days ago, I had forgot to set the resolution to 800 x 600 (My car uses 1024x768) and that would definately make the screen looked chopped off. in the "general.ini" file, inside the Blue Devil skin folder, make sure the display resolution is set to 800 x 600, or just DL the new release as there have been some fixes and updates.

Thanks a million!!! Works great now.

I tried DLing the file again but it seems to be the 4am version.
Even tried from another computer to make sure it wasn't caching or something.
Also, the post mentions the changes to version .92 twice.

i have all 3 releases, just pick the one you want

skywise · 09-19-2006, 02:00 AM

Nope, the latest copy on rrskins.dynu.com also has 'Toggle Names' in the playlist pane.

JohnWPB · 09-19-2006, 04:17 AM

Ok, the latest beta is in the first post. I Don't know how that toggle names is still showing up. I just verified 110% that the correct images are in the zip, so lets see what happens! Check the first thread for additions/corrections ect.

Here is a screen capture of the new Pop-Up menu to select and load a playlist:
The buttons in the left allow people with a lot of playlists (Ea:One for each artist/album)
to jump to the playlist FAST without having to keep scrolling/page down...down...down

Works like Text messaging, to get to say a "Jazz" playlist, tap the [IJK] 2 times to jump to "J".

I'm trying it out finally... Questions:

How do you get that iG menu that Ive seen you post... the 3x4 icon popup with cool iGscripts?

How do you make the Gas page link to auto Nav/Map in iG... I saw someone post they had that working with some skin. Will it be added to this skin soon?
