John, The Install changed my fonts also, although I believe it just made them "bold".

You are right that is what it did.... I like it though!

There is a new version for download on the site.... Sorry for those that downloaded it already, but as it is early in the release, just packaged up the whole thing again.

Just Re-Download, and install over the the current DigitalFX that's there

It fixes problem with:

- Should fix you guys's fonts all back to normal
- Video not showing when the brightness overlay was on
- Fixed missing label on the weather details skin
- removed the brightness selector from the color chooser, as 2 windows were fighting with each other, the brightness is available as a selection for the main menu buttons.
- iList on and off has been added where the brightness control was in the color changer screen. When changing, will drop you back a screen with a list in it to test it.

Should we uninstall and reinstall or just install over it?

Installed, everything working for the most part. I'm absolutely stunned, by far one of the best skins ever crafted. The best part about this skin is that you can install the default skin into any car PC, hit a few buttons and the skin then becomes modified to suit the vehicle.

Awesome work John + Blue, with DFX and RRmedia, and many thanks!!!

GPS has been working since version 2.0. You need to have a zips.dat file in your Road Runner root directory. (The skin installer installs it if it does not exist already) if that is in place, and you have a GPS signal, as well as RR configured for a GPS port (If you show satellites connected in the gauges screen), then tap the top display area on the gauges screen. The entire area is a hot spot to test the zips.dat LOCATE feature. If the cities and such fill with information, then it is working. You just need to add:

localdatacaptureinterval=1

To the RR.ini to update the information automatically. The "1" above means it will update the city labels every 1 minute.

Thank you, it is nice to see some positive feedback mixed in with all the this and that does not work

Btw, another nice feature now, is when you "hit a few buttons and the skin then becomes modified to suit the vehicle" you can save all the settings in the Users screen, so when someone messes with it, one click and you are back to normal

I currently have this installed on a desktop with no gps receiver attached. That could be the cause of increased cpu usage as it may be searching for the receiver. I'll update once I install in vehicle.

Okay, finished installing in vehicle. The database feature is wonderful. Really improves the performance and seek time. Excellent job John and Blue. Only issue at all is using the gauges still cranks the cpu, but that's the nature of flash.

check all your screens for their online indicators in the top left. some have doubles, some have the word indicator, some have the icon, etc... its just not consistent. thats the only complaint i got so far!

More positive feedback:

It works great John, I was skeptical about some of the look related changes but it really came together.

Now I just need to learn the nuances of Blue's Media plugin.

is there a mirror to download from? maybe torrent? no matter what machine I've tried to download from, it only gets to 18.7MB and stops - trying to run results in an error stating it's corrupt. Tried from my desktop at home, my laptop at work, and my car.

Definitely deserves another donation. Just a hint for the rest of you downloaders. Mine will be on the way soon John.

Thanks for the hard work.

Small bug; the Sat and Ter bars don't work in the Sirius screens.

If someone with XM could see if it works in that screen.

I'll see what was done last time and try to create a fix.
