I love that the two "Hate It" Votes so far were from people that never post, the second one (Stormbringer) hasn't posted since '02.

If you vote hate it, please let me know why so that I can make improvements.

is anyone running this skin with the new version of RR. I can't seem to get anything to show up except the albume art and when you curser over where buttons are they show up but nothing on them.

You could improve the poll by having less extreme choices

I don't Love it, I don't Hate it however it's better than OK.

I think you did some fast work with the text colour chooser and new custom sliders, I'm also playing around with that but have run into some problems as I am tring to do some different things with it.

Wow looks really well done monkeyracer, DL now to test it out and take a look at your color changer code, this is something I want to implement into my skin.

Very nice layout, easy to use and easy on the eyes, and an amazing archive size, overall I give it 5 out of 5 stars for an automotive UI.

few things:

Make sure you have a background folder with images in it, and that it's referenced in the rr.ini at picspath = ...

The version that was archived may not have had any info under the color.skin, open this up in notepad and add the following lines:

/DEFINE FRed 255
/DEFINE FGreen 255
/DEFINE FBlue 255

once you have the fonts showing correctly, open road runner again and go to menu, then settings then background, then select a background and click go.

The download package will be updated with the correct color.skin file to prevent the invisible font issue, and the background path will be better explained in the readme file.

I'd like to say that guino implemented the custom sliders at least in part because of me, i was trying to get this done for a while, but couldn't find a viable solution. I'm trying to find a way to use this to select the skin's background color. (sort of like digitalfx's color chooser, but without needing flash) so that's in the works.

compressed to 751kb, uncompressed to just under 9mb, I think that says alot about the skin. You can still make a great skin for computers that aren't running the latest and greatest stuff. A lot of the other skins are a lot bigger, example - DFX2.0 = 35.4mb, my AvicZ2 = 53.5

Thanks for all the kind words and suggestions. <fixing the color.skin thing now...>

EDIT: for anyone that had an issue like the ones above with the invisible text, the current download link has this fixed

ok, the first post has been updated with all the new info, and I included the backgrounds and weather folders for those that don't already have these folders.

I am working on the OSK now, so that will match the skin a little better. I'll be saving it for a future release though.

I would love to see the text color chooser implemented and improved upon, so when you guys put it in your skins, let me know, and I'll take a look at it.

monkeyracer · 10-31-2007, 11:04 AM

here's a preview of the new osk (nothing to write home about, just more closely resembles the skin and adds transparency and allows the custom font color.)

Not an important enough change to add to a new release yet, so it'll be out when the next update comes.

Did the new download package work for this?

venealis · 11-02-2007, 11:43 AM

sorry haven't tried yet will try to see if fixes though. thanks again for all your hard work.

Everything is working perfectly and the color changing capability is fascinating!

One thing i noticed in the custom color screen is that the left and right arrows on the left(my mistake, see below) side , when clicked, will skip focus from slider to slider (as i think it was intended) BUT if you continue to click, it will scroll through all the other buttons as well.

Is there a way to just limit it to scrolling just the sliders?

Thanks for sharing.

EDIT: Correction - the < > buttons on the RIGHT side. Thanks Enforcer.

Enforcer · 11-06-2007, 12:36 PM

He could make the buttons 'clickable' labels.

monkeyracer · 11-06-2007, 01:37 PM

I want to make buttons that just increase each slider individually (one on top and bottom of each slider)

But i'm still working on getting this to work right. I tried to use the "EVAL;REDSLIDER;$Red Slider$+257" but that didn't work. I'll be trying to work on this tonight once I get to my laptop.

@enforcer - they are clickable labels, but they just go through the different buttons past the sliders. Same thing happens in the mixer.skin.

monkeyracer · 11-10-2007, 03:17 PM

updated first post with new hAv1cplus download.

Reorganized first menu to include background and text color chooser quick links, from all other screens, the menu is the same as the old one.

Added transparent OSK, and redesigned the color chooser to have seperate controls to the left of each slider. You can either just press the spot on the slider, or press the buttons for more precision. one thing though, if you hit 255, and press the up button next to the slider, it will go beyond the 255 limit, and the text will not work right. Working on a fix for this soon, it's a minor thing so it may be a while for that.

any other suggestions?

monkeyracer · 11-14-2007, 01:33 AM

updated first post, new video that shows iLists and new custom text color chooser... (iLists will be added in next release...)
