Seems sometimes when i start really getting into the code I find it hard to stop!

I called it quits today for a few hours to study for my MS server midterm and I ACED th test! Got me all excited so Im hackin away at the code again.

Few changes I had to do to have global button function settings. now the mp3 and vid buttons work a little bit different, click for player, hold for browser, from any menu! same for nav, its click for nav, hold for full screen. Its nice because now I can just jump to a browser of full screen nav from any menu.

Heres a screen that you guys running / loving CFX will like, the GE Drover font

Also, maybe I can get some feedback on this, here is what the settings.txt file has evolved into. Just wondering if you guys would be able to decipher what does what or if it needs more comments and/or clearer define's

Code:

I am doing the same thing right now with my OMEGA skin. One skin layout, the buttons on the same place and you can name them what you want and it will execute this command......
But it is so much freaking work. I don't now if I have the time to finish it.

crooper · 09-27-2007, 12:24 AM

I created this font a while back because GE Drover just didn't do it for me. I loaded Handel Gothic BT into a font editing program and created an italic version, which I aptly named "HandelGothic BT Italic". Thought maybe you guys might be interested. In the skin file you call it out as "Handel Gothic BT Italic".

I haven't done anything with my skin lately, too busy working.

My kids told me they like the "bouncing lights" on my "new screen thingy" though, which was cool.

OSK's shift key don't work.. (Shock V4)

blk02si · 09-29-2007, 10:39 AM

You are right treetop, I never actually used the shift key but I just tested it and it doesn't work. I will have this fixed in v5 along with a few more OSK tweaks, The OSK really needs the equal sign for editing rr.ini

blk02si · 09-30-2007, 01:36 AM

I've been hacking at the OSK for a few hours now and got nowhere. I've looked at the code for many other boards and my code is the same but the shift and caps buttons I just cannot get to work. Anyway I ended up making a 800x480 version of digitalFX's OSK and am using that untill I can figure out why the shift and caps buttons refuse to work. Anyway if anyone has an idea why this

Code:

K,1,344,79,66,005,046,046,"SHIFT"

will not work for my shift button please advise.

tja · 09-30-2007, 02:59 AM

my osk has ascii code 058 for shift... and 020 for caps/shiftlock

i have no idea if it is different to other peoples.. it's just what I have and it works for me!

blk02si · 09-30-2007, 10:35 AM

Thanks Tja, I am going to give another stab at the osk today.

I also finished a lot more coding last night and this morning. I tweaked all the labels so different font don't get clipped at all and you can run a large size on the top bar. I am also implementing directory list selected item to match the global color setting for the the top bar.

The doc's for version 5 were also begun so I can get the best version to date into the hands of the community

Also looking for some fresh wallpapers for v5

treetop777 · 10-01-2007, 09:16 PM

Here are some backgrounds, nothing fancy. The plain ones look good with the Ford logo from V1 on the main menu. The only bad thing is that they are watermarked - I just ignore it!

@ crooper

I just got round to installing the latest RR release (30/09/07) and it seems to 'break' Album Art within your skin - Album art is correctly displayed in the Audio page (I'm running the larger icons as discussed earlier in this thread), but when an Album is selected the cover Album usually found on the right of the playlist has vanished. It was confirmed working before the RR update.

I assume the updating of RR has caused this, but not sure how as Album art is still displayed ok in the Album page.

I hope this is clear...if required I can post screenshots.

I've also noticed - when I click on GPS RR loads D6 fine (I'm using D6 as setup from the "How to Run D6" thread, but clicking on GPS again takes me to another screen with a load of buttons and a blue background..it looks like possibly an Iguidance skin? Didn't notice this before so not sure if the new RR had any effect on this?

crooper · 10-02-2007, 09:46 PM

I don't know about the Album Art issue, I haven't upgraded yet.

As for the GPS skin, that's intentional. It's a customized Streets & Trips screen that someone else made and I like. For good IGuidance skins you can look around and have it use them instead.

I've made a couple mods to my skin lately, nothing spectacular. Just fonts and stuff. I might post it eventually, I dunno. I've been doing other things.

I think you just forgot showicons=true in RR.ini again.

That or you did not define what album art is in the new rrconfig. Enter *.jpg in the album art field of the config to use any jpeg in a music directory folder.

Also just wanted to keep the thread updated that the newest code (shock v5) will be available in approx 1 week. Just need to finish the read_me and get her up on the net.

Checked and they are ok. I didn't think it would be this as the Album art is displayed correctly here:

But when I go into the Album and loads the music tracks the album art found on the right side of the screen no longer appears?:
