Carwings v1.0 - RELEASED - Page 4

Awesome! looks great EL, only error I get is the "IG_hider" menu is off by about 30 pixels but I'm sure that can be adjusted in the CWiG.exe

Also In order for this to work properly you need a blank float_menu.png. If you just drop these files into the carwings skin it uses the float_menu in the skin that has the text already on it, and the CWiG text renders over it.

Very nice expansion though, much appreciated!

@Blk02si

If you get a chance, could you post that blank png of float_menu, please. I saved one out from the psd but i can't seam to get it to size correctly. It don't look the same as the original even after i re-sized it from 800x600 to 504x471.

Here ya go, blank float_menu.png

Also I noticed you have the code for the "down" button press implemented EL, can you share the button art so that we can get the press effect

For now I ditched the preset buttons until I can work on the art a bit.
This is what I am using for now. Please feel free to make suggestions.

Looks good Fixer!

The bars curved vertical bars seem a bit thinner but I assume you made it that way for a reason.

The menu flows much better with the skin now, the multi-color art just looked too busy IMO.

Only other thing I can suggest is perhaps go orange on the antenna level indicators, and remove the HD indicator from the top since it will never be active in XM.

@EL Camino

Started digging into your scripts a bit more and just wanted to let you know I like the way you laid it all out, very easy to customize!

Here is a screencap of my custom menu and the only issue im having, which is the 'wait' menu is off a bit. I wanted to take a look at the AUtoIT code but I cannot decompile the exe. I'm using Exe2Aut and it says only 3.2.5.1 scripts or earlier are supported. So you must be using a newer version. Perhaps you can post the au3 file so I can see if I can get the wait menu to line up.

The only thing I would change is to find a way to squeeze in the channel art for the current channel.

Maybe replace the EQ button with that.

I also agree with blk02si, that you should change the signal meters to orange.

Green is the next color I am going to work on, my interior is also Green

Blk - That "please wait" is off center on my test machine but it centers perfect in the truck - leave it alone and try it in your car.

EL CAMINO · 02-10-2008, 11:07 AM

ok, for a limited time offer heres the source, and with the pressed effect.

blk02si · 02-10-2008, 11:26 AM

Thanks EL Camino, I like the addition of the "ONSKINSTART","RUNQ;$GPSPATH$" in ExecTBL, makes the transition smoother.

Your code looks tidy and organized, thanks for sharing, its helping me understand AUtoIT much better!

I am still not getting the highlight on button press though, I think im missing the press art, when you first started working on CWiG you sent me a sample that had one of the buttons working on the menu. Here is the file that you sent 'btn1.png', I assume you have 7 files, one for each button?

EL CAMINO · 02-10-2008, 11:47 AM

not using that, i use the labels now, is faster and use less cpu, AND the way you have the skin, the labels change color on button press, so i use that, even my via m10k has no problems this way.

andrewfblack · 02-10-2008, 01:16 PM

I've started work on movie times plugin screens here is my first SS. Any comments I think the menu on the left make take up to much room not sure.

BTW the space under zip is going to show the current zip code you are searching.

I am also running the m10k

I compiled the au3 files from your source and it works perfect! Even the 'wait' pic is now right. Thx again EL.

Movie menu is looking good Andrew.

Here is a IG_hider that matches the skin a bit better, right click, save as
