Ok, I just cant leave well enough alone it seems. One thing that has been kinda bothering me is the plain old MS Arial font. After hundreds of fonts that I have seen, I finally settled on one. The font has been changed throughout the skin.

I think it has a more modern and clean look to it.... what do you guys think?

Yeah, that font looks so much better. I never quite understood why you chose to go with a plain font such as Arial with such an advanced skin...

Good choice on font and keep up the good work!

John, the new font is much better!..

Did I hear you say something about including a SlingPlayer skin with this release? =)

SlingPlayer skin would make this skin Super Duper!@!

I think i prefer the original font myself. I think it was a dot matrix font used in the original alpine skin that was pretty nice.

Blue ZX3 · 07-19-2008, 12:27 PM

Ya, i liked that dot matrix font in the alpines too...

Yeah I've been not sleeping trying to tie up every loose end of the Carputer possible with great progress... I notices that "A" I misspelled "use", and "B" it spelled another word and it made sense to a different degree...I was waiting for someone to rip that one apart.. So thanks haha

Font is nice, I like the whole theme in your pics of the Gauges screen. The grey and yellow contrast nicely together...Hopefully that will be a default theme....?? Nice work

Well... Too bad. Sorry....

Just kidding! hahaha Ok, I had a feeling people may like that old ugly original font, so what about being able to change the font on the fly? Just pick a font and hit apply. Thats it

Not sure if it will be one of the defaults, but with the user switching, you can make up to 6 of your own presets / defaults. This will save Font color, background wallpaper, slider color, pointer color, and font.

user selectable fonts is a GREAT idea! i was thinking that myself, but didn't know how hard that would be to implement.

but then again, you ARE the man... so im sure it can happen.

i know its against the rules to ask, but how soon are you shooting to have a new big release out??

I followed the instructions in the DFX3 help file, downloaded Winamp 5.13, copied the folder over, changed the Visualization settings in winamp, started RR config changed to AVS (could not find the box to type!winamp...blah blah AVS!) thats my problem.
