This might be a stupid question, but, reading about iG4 not being iGNative, I take it that the iG stands for iGuidance. Does this therefore mean that any other map software will not embed properly and fully into RR

Not at all. Road Runner can embed just about any program. When a program is embedded, it means just that, it is "locked" into an area of the skin that is defined. For Instance Windows File Explorer can be embedded into Road Runner.

But, just because it is embedded does not mean Road Runner can control it. Using Windows Explorer as an example, can you immagine trying to click on the toolbars, icons and files on a 7" screen? Not to easy to say the least

Thats where Road Runner has internal code to work directly with certain programs. Programs like IE, FireFox, iG (iGuidance), Map Point ect. With the extended code in Road Runner for these app's, you can skin buttons that can directly interact with the program better suited to a small screen.

Going even one step further, there are add on scripts. For instance DigitalFX has a few scripts that can extend the control of iGuidance even more. For instance there is one script, that with the click of the "Fast Food" button on the iG Pop-up menu, will show the closest Fast Food restaurants y distance. The script actually sends the commands to iGuidance to traverse the menu's to take you to that screen automatically. With out the script, you would need to press Menu, choose Destinations, click on Points of Interest, Then click on Restaurants and finally scroll down to Fast Food and click OK. The less presses you have to do on the screen, means the more time you can keep your eyes where they belong.... on the road


I hope this helps to understand it.

Were does it get the information about album names, artist names, because inside of winamp every thing is labeled but some of my music shows up in RR with just song title. is this a Skin issue or a RR issue? or is it an issue with the way the mp3 file is named?

Enforcer

It's either fromt the filename or MP3 tag, depending on where it is and what you have set in RR config.

I have a few questions in regards to RR and using this skin. I'm using an external hhd for all my mp3's and RR will show all the folders on the drive when I use the browser, but will not show any of the mp3's that are in the root dir ? When I first set everything up, it showed everthing, now it will only show the folders ? Do I have something set incorrectly ? Also, when I open the RRConfig thru RR it reverts back to the normal RRConfig even thou I renamed that file and have the Blue xz RRConfig in the dir ??

I've been reading the forum for about a year now and just installed my system this week. I'm still learning and reading :-) I just realized that the cheap usb hub I picked up at wally world isn't going to run my hhd & dvd drive. I'm going to need a powered hub after reading thru the forums.

Thanks for all the great reading and help

thx en4cer ill do a little more trial and error to figure this out

JohnWPB

I do not have speed fan set up on this PC to test with, but open the SPeedFan.skin file in Notepad and look for C2F. I THINK that that means Celsius to Fahrenheit. Try removing that, and see if that works for you.

Hi, I tried to install this today and when I opened RR, all I get is a black strip down the middle of my screen. When I touch this strip, it starts playing my videos but I cant see the videos. What did I do wrong?

Thanks

You have to read all 100+ pages, the answer have been posted already No, J/K

Couple things you can check: Make sure you are running the latest version of RoadRunner (a new version should be on your desktop) Also, make sure to copy those lines (i don't remmember exactly-fasmode or something) to rr.ini

Check those and report back.

MantisX

Yep that did the trick. I missed one of the lines in the document. All is well now. Kick butt front end! LOL after page 2 I was like screw it, ill just ask.

Thanks

Great! Still when you get a chance, read through the thread, there have been some enhancements and fixes that are not documented in the help file. Read the help file too, This skin can do a lot and it's all (mostly) spelled out in there.

How do I get DigitalFX/RR to default to IGuidance instead of always asking me multiple choice when I click GPS?
