If you tweak the CWiG autoit file you can send commands to Destinator, Just need to specify the window title and define the commands. I don't have Destinator to test with though but it can be done without too much coding, just switching a few lines.

Couple of issues when i display this in 800 x 480... If this isn't meant for that resolution, then nevermind.... I'll point them out for your info anyway...

In navigation view, the left navigation menu didn't get resized accordingly...
In video, viewable area didn't get resized accordingly which makes the bottom navigation part floating about inch above from the bottom...

That's all for now..^^

Oh by the way, just for my curiosity, when i click zoom in.. it runs an extra script which I can see on the task bar.... but i don't see that when i click zoom out... It works great, just puzzles me a little bit what the difference would be..

The skin is not compatible with resizing... yet! Since the navigation pane is essentially another program, it is not aware of RR resizing. I am sure the CWiG could be coded to read the general.ini skin settings and size itself accordingly.

The extra script you see running on 'Zoom In' is the start of the button push indicators code for the CWiG script.

I've also noticed a small issue with IG while navigating, The turn by turn arrows get partially covered by the menu. Its not that big of a deal but I am going to ResHack IG some more to move the display location of those boxes, and maybe even remove the arrows from the map and place them on the skin somewhere.

Thank you all for the compliments!! I'm glad you guys are enjoying the skin! I agree it is a fresh look, and I love how much depth and dimension there is to it, espicially running it in the car on a xenarc. If possibile, can one of you guys with a g35 or maxima photograph it in the Nissan enviroment?

D6 does not accept key commands unfortunately, I just used that as an example to say it still looked with it.

All in all a very nice clean skin.

For my private using i change the NumOsk screen... no identity with radio screen in shadowing of mid function field, the Mixer screen....too much letter in the Sliderfield. Also no switch for wave and line ON/OFF.
Make a Exit_Menu screen with Hibernate aso..
Change the Radio_Player to 9 Preset Stations and worked for the ADS/SILABS stick.



Again, a very nice and simpel looking Skin. Thanks for sharing the PSDs too.

downloaded and used the skin yesterday. I really liked it alot. One thing that I would like to suggest is that on the main menu, there should be a menu for shutdown, restart, exit RR instead of just "Back" that closes RR.

I agree with that, also a minimize button would be handy.

Well that's just plain handy. Thanks for pointing that out.

You wouldn't happened to be working on a XM screen for this skin would you?

another thing i noticed is that if the GPS is not correctly set in RR.ini (had it on "menu" for Teknik skin instead of "external") the left side of the skin gets stuck and stays that way even when you change skin or restart RR. The only way to get rid of it is to restart computer.

Cool


I have to play with my setting some more, but when I come back from hibernate the play list in MP3 mode is blank. I have to re-load the skin or exit and re-load RR to get it back.

i worked on this a bit tonight. Which setup do you like better.
I like the first one because there is more real estate for the channel lineup and station info.
The second looks more like the FM radio screen.
