Again, works perfectly. The full GPS didn't work until i made some minor change in ExecTBL from this:
"FULLGPS","Load;FULLGPS.skin||RUN;$GPSPATH$;$GPSNA ME$"
to this:
"FULLGPS","Load;FULLGPS.skin;$GPSNAME$;$GPSPATH$;$ GPSNAME$"

And it automatically switches to full screen GPS flawlessly.

The volume slider is much better that where it was. I'm just going to add a % indicator just for my reference.

I just read the reame for the first time and i see there are a lot of stuff i didn't know about like press'n'hold to go directly to the browsers - that should come in hand.

Well, let me go overwrite the old one in the truck.

Thanks again for the update.

I just put the readme in the most recent version, it was omitted in the earlier releases since all the info was included on this thread. There's some other cool things coming soon, here's another teaser:

The yellow box that is highlighted is the switch. If the album art is showing, (which should appear first automatically) you can press the area that the yellow box highlights in the top right corner to hide the art, and the GPS SPEED at the top, then display the flash guage. (You can use any guage you'd like, this one is included in the next download.) Then if the guage is showing, press the button again to switch back to the album art.
As far as the guage goes, I will add the shadows to it, to match the rest of the skin a little better. I have the movie set to "SOLID" to help with CPU load. And I might also add other guages that are hidden by default.
The only issue I've seen so far, is that since the visu button is over the center of the guage, you must click on a blank spot to activate/deactivate the visu. The VISU button on the right will work either way.

I also wanted to add a VOL% label, but something that only shows for a very short time like 5 seconds after the volume is changed.

About the volume label, I just right justified it on the vol - button.

If you go to the fullgps without going to the smaller gps, then it won't embed correctly, what treetop posted seems to fix it, and will make it into the next release.

a little more tweaks:

The volume % is now next to the volume bar, and at 95 and 100% it ends up over the bar.
Pause indicator similar to the way that the mute indicator works so that it shows only when the song is paused. Still trying to get this to work perfectly, not quite there yet.
Guage with visu overlayed to show it is still visible through the VISU (with the way I have my rr set-up) Still need to make the shadows for it...

The issue I have is that everything shows and hides correctly onskinstart, but after reloadskin, all the labels are visible again, instead of some of them hiding.

I've gotten most of the above issues worked out, but the "Paused" Indicator only shows in the main.skin.
Also, if you've got the speedo up when you exit, and restart, and you press the center switch button (the area highlighted in the screenshot above) it will show the speedo again. If you press it a second time, it will show the album art.
The first time you press the button it will show the speedo, then after that it will toggle between the two.

Expect a small update soon... I might wait to see what happens with RR's update first though.

Also to be released with the new update will be a reshacked version of IG3. It will only work for IG3, not 4. This is based on Sonicxtasy's IG4 hack (he originally did this to IG3, but has since moved on to 4) but with a few changes to come:

monkeyracer · 05-16-2008, 11:34 AM

Added some more idle timers. On the exit menu and main menus after 10 seconds of inactivity they will close out. Also, added a background previewer:

The button on the right labeled "Hide Skin" will hide the flash skin preview and toggle to "Show Skin" which will go back to the previous set up. It will default to show the preview when you first navigate to the screen.

uploaded the new update, and updated the post on the first screen.

I need to have someone try out the flash guage on the main screen and let me know if it works or not.

Enjoy!

You probably had a feeling it wouldn't - it didn't! Probably just a matter of adding the Gps speed label.

I got the guages from this thread here:

http://www.mp3car.com/vbulletin/rr-p...urce-code.html

And modified them to match my skin's font. I noticed the label was just "spd" rather than "GPSSPD"

So I don't think it was set up correctly, and as I just noticed here:
http://www.mp3car.com/vbulletin/rr-s...-tutorial.html
I think I also need to add the label code back in...

I updated the .rar file, or you can download the guage and menu.skin here and just copy them over your existing version:

Speedo <-- edit; see post below for new version

menu.skin

Let me know if that works now. (I think it should because now it's saying 0 Mi/h...)

treetop777 · 05-20-2008, 09:42 AM

It did indeed work; the only thing is that the "Mi/H" gets cut-off when you get into double digit speeds.

Other than that it works fine.

monkeyracer · 05-20-2008, 11:05 AM

I thought it might do that...
The text field was pretty small,
here's the expanded version:

Speedo

Let me know how that goes. (Screenshot at speed would be nice, but I don't want you to risk your life to get it.)

treetop777 · 05-20-2008, 12:18 PM

yeah, don't hold your breath for that screencap.

monkeyracer · 05-20-2008, 12:46 PM

If I had the GPS antenna in the car, and if my laptop battery wasn't shot, I might get a screen cap at speed (low speed...)

Otherwise, does it show the whole speed?
