TEKNIK1 & TEKNIK2 skins.

** UPDATED : 13th March 2008 **
TEKNIK2 - Update #2 now available ... Many thanks to all who helped with this update, in particular El Camino & Carputer1. I hope you all enjoy this update.

This update includes support for ...

- XM & Sirius SAT Radio
- HD Radio
- Freefone
- Changable Splash Screens based on chosen car logo ... from El-Camino
- Delete Current Track plug-in ... from El-Camino
- Album Art Browser (nonflash version) ... from Sal-R
- Media Copy ... based on code form DFX2 by JohnWPB
- Task Manager

These are in addition to the existing functionality ...

Audio player / browser
Video player / browser
GPS Support for Destinator / IG4 / Autoroute
Managed Playlist support.
Web Browser
Picture Viewer
AM/FM Radio Support
Switchable iList support
Integrated Tag Editor
Playlist Search / Filename search
View/Play album from player
Changable backgrounds

AND .. introducing a new Ratings and Search feature courtesy of EL-CAMINO. This new "plugin" allows you to use the Winamp media library to store your song ratings and also offers full search across the media library on Artist, Album, Title, Genre or all of these ... Available from the Music Library screen.

IG4 support scripts from DFX2.5 courtesy of JohnWPB.

** NOTE ** : Make sure that your RR.INI setting for the background path is correctly called "backgroundpath", and not "background". This is required to make the background selector work correctly. Needs manually editing of the RR.INI file.

Also available here are the following skins ...
TEKNIK v1.1 - Integrated IG4 and updated the NUMOSK functionality.
TEKNIK v1.1 - RED : A special one-off RED version of TEKNIK1.

Enjoy.

may be a slight problem ,as this is not done in PS unless Val has managed to change them over.

what i like is the sharpness of it all, nice clear images.

at the moment the skin is about 90 % completed ... some work to be completed on the Radio skin, and some on the "ON" screens etc ... afterthat I'll release.

unfortunately these ain't in PSD format I haven't had time to learn it yet, so I'm using MS Visio and the files are in VSD format, but if anyone else want's them I'm more than happy to release them.

Here are some screenshots from Teknik v2.0 ... still in development. This is a sister skin to Teknik v1.0 and should have the same functionality as v1.0 ... coverflow may be added once I can get it working correctly (the album select function ain't doing what it should at the moment)

Images are ... Menu, Audio Player, Audio Player-2, Music Library, and Skin Browser.

Any comments or suggestions for either skin ???

Very nice. The color contrast is excellent.

In your first skin i think it would be more natural to reach for the most common functions (audio, video, satnav) towards the top. For sure move the "exit" button to the very bottom.

IMHO

That's a good point about the menu layout in v1.0 - I'll rearrange the items to allow for the more commonly used items at the top, and having the exit at the bottom does make more sense, but I just though having it highlighted somewhere different added to the visual appeal of the screen.

another one, would be the restart song button, you can have something else there, and relocate that to the "prev" button, using push & hold. once again. nice really nice.

1 word to both versions: "LOVE"

i really like the iphone style look.
it's flash? (hope no)
i'd lower the buttons a lil to get more visible area
and make the background transparent and choosable

moved to the top 3 on my skins wish list along with tensai's SE2.1 and mac flavour (long time unfinished project)

[]s

Humm ... lower the buttons is certainly do-able ... the transparent and choosablebackgrounds not so do-able unfortunately.

These are created using Microsoft Visio which cannot save with transpartent backgrounds ... I haven't had time to learn PS fully so for the time being I'm restricted to non transparent skins ...

by the way - this is totally non-flash to run on my 1.1ghz celeron cpu !
