Also to get the button 'press' effect you need to go into the DOT effects and change the bevel effect from UP to DOWN on the menu_down.jpg

Looking good fella's, i think the SDK file is more popular than the skin archive

i did include the menu press effect, that highlighted text is due to my mouse position during the screen capture.

I use both XM and HD radio so I left them that way for me but I think it is a good idea.
Maybe a pop up screen for choosing which radio you want when you select radio.

The only thing then is it would take 2 button presses to select a radio function.

Do you think we also need a menu3 to accomodate Gas Prices and future expansion?

I did a quick RRCam skin also and I wanted some input.
@blk02si do you think the cwig.exe could be used to do a floating menu like the iGuidance screen? I do not know how the live image and the menu wold worh together.

I now see that mixer has been relocated and tuner is still there! I like the idea of having them both, a pop up menu would work but I don't like the 2 press functionality.

YES we def need a menu_3, perhaps even a menu_4 with the speed this is developing!

I like the CAM, this makes me want to buy a backup camera now! It should work.. The CWiG script is programmed to always be on top and take precedence over any other application. Your proposal should work well, and would look REALLY hot! The CWiG script would just need to be programmed to send commands to the CAM program, and compiled to CWcam.exe or a unique name for the skin to call upon. In theory should work the same as the navigation menu.

Not currently, I was planning on putting one together in a a couple weeks after everyone is happy with their expansion menus and they have been either posted here in the forum or zipped and emailed to me at joe.shock at gmail dot com

I have good hosting and bandwidth for this sort of project

I will give it a try in a bit and see if I can get it to work

Well, how about mileage plug in?

--update---
dmistry, if you like Mario, i did little more work on it... icon should be sharper and more clear for details..
updated the post above.

Can you just add the Mario you have for the 3D? its better than what is there now!
