Just a though, is there a specific path that I need to put your indicator images into?

I think just switching XM to SR should work.
From "skin Commands.txt" "SRSAT" - SIRIUS Satellite Signal Quality
"SRTER" - SIRIUS Terrestrial Signal Quality

Is the folder called slider_battery in your carwings directory? If it is not, copy it from the DFX folder to the carwings folder and that should fix it. That is the path I used for the XM signal. Do you have the recolored slider images? If you don't I will post them tonight when I get home.

I have to look, but I think I'm a dummy and forgot to copy that folder into my carwings directory.

That's what I get for working on this at 5 in the morning.

Sort of, it's Access Control (the title in the picture kinda gives it away )



Anyway here is the main screen of Traffi Cams. It woul look nicer if we could get the floating menu over it but trouble is when it switches screens you would need to change the icons and functions in the floating menu, and traffic cams would need to be able to accept commands from RoadRunner. Hmmmmmm

Looks really good Enforcer! I am very interested in the Upd8 menu.

Just so you know the floating menu is all AUtoIT. The script sends commands directly to iGuidance, it does not use RR to send the commands at all. AUtoIT is quite clever in how it can pass commands to other windows applications, so the only thing RR needs to handle is the embedding. As long as the traffic CAM app has a window title and some way of passing key strokes, mouse clicks, shortcuts, etc. to it the floating menu would work as is does in the CWiG script.

I want to add a left menu to the mixer screen, and also am going to experiment with having a float menu over the video screen.

The buttons for the #'s are much larger than the # itself.

Alright, I finally finished modifying Fixer's XM screens to Sirius. The screens are attached.

I'm going to take a run at Coverflow next.


Edit: I noticed that the date position didn't match the other screens. I fixed it.

I have taken the NUMOSK graphic and and used that to keep it standard with the rest of the skin, as blk02si says the buttons extend to the lines and meet halfway between each other.

Well for it to work with traffic cams it would also need to be able to receive commands to tell it to change graphic when TC switches screen.


Here's the two screens

The first is the main camera screen (of which there are three, but the buttons on the left stay the same) then second is the search screen which has different buttons and therefore button codes, these are screens within my program not RoadRunner screens, so the floating menu would have to notified that which screen my program is in and then charge appropriately.

It's amazing what happens when you actually copy everything over.

All the credit goes to you, I just worked with your code.

Here you go; coverflow for Carwings. I haven't tested it in on my carPC yet, just on my desktop. I turned off reflections to improve performance. I also created a carwings background and deleted all the others.

If you've never used coverflow for RR before, I'd recommend reading the plugin thread by moahdib.

Enjoy!

I like the coverflow! Looks like the left buttons should be a curve menu though to fit the rest. Either way Very nice development Machinehead!

Thanks. I was going to make some changes to it but the flash file is locked and can't be edited. At the very minimum I was going to change the blue highlighted buttons to orange highlights. No dice though.

I'm going to play with a few other album browser options. I know not everyone can run coverflow due to how resource heavy it is.

I aint too clever @ skinning... although i get the basic principles using the skin aditor, and just started using Adobe CS2

How does everyone create logos/icons on there buttons?

Like the folder icon on this image...

This skin is coming along nicely, glad to see everyone chipping in...
