This has happened to me a LOT during testing the skin. Having to end Task Winamp all the time when restarting the skin ect.

JohnWPB, your work on the software is outstanding. Calling Streets and trips, the buttons are dark, your thoughts on same? Would it be possible to access CoPilot within the program?

Thanks Johnnie

Well that was the trick. At least on my test computer. That got it working. Thanks for reading through the posts and responding. I am finding that once you post a question, you might get one or two quick responses but then it gets lost in the vastness of this thread.

Once again thanks for the help.

and replace TEMP2 and TEMP1 with the variables from ShowSpeedFanData.exe ?

ok i did this so it looks like:

L,516,4,71,25,#DFX1R#,#DFX1G#,#DFX1B#,16,"Arial"," SFT0","left"
L,408,4,101,25,#DFX1R#,#DFX1G#,#DFX1B#,16,"Arial", "=Computer:","right"
L,212,4,89,25,#DFX1R#,#DFX1G#,#DFX1B#,16,"Arial"," =Interior:","right"
L,311,4,87,25,#DFX1R#,#DFX1G#,#DFX1B#,16,"Arial"," SFT1","left"



and it didn't work, i think it said in the skin

Quote:
Computer: right Interior: right

......i just noticed though on my monitor there is a space before the 'temp1' and 'temp2' that i probably didnt put in. maybe thats it?

S&t

Normally I can figure things out and learn, but I'm stumped on this one. I can't get streets & Trips to load when I select Streets & trips button on the button selector. If I choose the IG Button S&T will load with the IG png file ? I know in 2.5 I had to edit the button skin to read "GPS" as supposed to "Remembergps"

"B06,559,261,240,83,"RememberGPS",@gaspricefinder@ " this was changed to -

B06,559,261,240,83,"GPS",@gaspricefinder@ for it to load S&T .. I tried the exectbl file and it still won't work ? I can select the IG button get S&T to load then go back and select the S&T button and it will load, but once I reboot it won't load again ?

Stumped !

I removed the "left" phrase, try it again.

Update: Well that worked on the car pc as well. It seems to solve a couple of other issues with the way songs are displayed in the music browser also. There must have been a couple of files in DFX 2.5 that did not make it into or are different in the installer for DFX 3.0.

On my GPS screen, I dont get an option to select which GPS I want to use. Id like to use my copy of streets and trips but it never gives me the option to choose it. When I hit the GPS button, it loads S&T but it loads it separately from the skin. Any ideas?

Thanks

You need to adjust your RRconfig settings for S&T.

Yes it works for me. You need to keep the speed fan programming running at all times.

Is anyone using IGQwerty program? The ABC keyboard on iGuidance drives me crazy, and I just discovered that cool program that converts it into a QWERTY keyboard. It works great, but I'm not happy with the colors. JohnWPB made some skins for it and I've been unable to locate his IGQwertyBlueDevilSkins.zip file. The old links are dead. Can someone provide those skins again? Thanks.

Great, so can I just re-download the installer and install over the top, or how do I add the fix so I can keep my already-configured skin (button choices, theme, etc)?
