[REL] iGoBMW transparent - Page 4

WaRFiElD · 05-20-2008, 10:38 AM

Thanks ALOT Dan! I love the new look of the BMW screen! Gotta try this tonight

Dan, you are my god ;-). The Last screen with all ligths are very good.

This is a great skin with BMW IBus functions, I love it! With FreeFone it would be perfect

Browsing music with steering wheel buttons is great (although page up and page down are backwards, dunno if it is iGoBMW issue?).

There is one thing I haven't figured out yet: how to turn off vis in audio player skin (to show CD cover)?

Anyway, thanks for great skin!

Click the CD cover again to turn it off, but you need to set VIS to transparent in RRconfig first. (I noticed the albumart does not show back after this - need to reload playlist I think)

The IbusRR.ini in my skin should have the correct UP/DOWN for the audio player screen.

Thanks all for the feedback!

OT: Go on Man U!

part from your IBusRR.ini:

Code:

[audio_player.skin]
PREV_PRES="DOWN"
PREV_QUICK_REL=""
PREV_HOLD_REL=""
PREV_HOLD="PGUP"
NEXT_PRES="UP"
NEXT_QUICK_REL=""
NEXT_HOLD_REL=""
NEXT_HOLD="PGDOWN"
PLUS_PRES=""
MINUS_PRES=""
PHONE_PRES="!SWITCHSCREENS!"
RT_PRES="PLAY"
REPEAT_HOLD_CMD=1

I think PGUP and PGDOWN should be placed the other way around, but I guess it is a matter of opinion.

Dan do you know the code for changing Fahrenheits to Celsius in OBC (like consumption unit is changed in SET_OBC_TO_L100Km)? I don't have OBC in my car and BMW skin shows fahrenheits instead of celsius in outside temp. Or is there a way in Roadrunner to take part of $OUTSIDETEMP$ (stripping + and C) and then doing a conversion (C=F-32x5/9)?

Also one thing is bugging me.. after stopping the engine RPM meter wont go to 0. Is this normal?

Oh yeah, I only changed the single press command, I have't noticed the hold command cose I didn't use it.
I'm not sure of a code to change C/F and 12H/24H - I used the right knob on the cluster. Maybe warfield knows cose he gave me the code for L/100Km.
You can try editing bmw.skin to convert F to C:
FROM:
L,610,271,167,19,240,240,240,14,"Arial:B","=OUTSID E: $OUTSIDETEMP$","CENTER"
TO
L,610,271,167,19,240,240,240,14,"Arial:B","=OUTSID E: $OUTSIDETEMP$","F2C"

I think the RPM thing is cose of the pugin not updating the variable to 0 when doesn't find a value in IBUS.

Tried F2C instead of CENTER, but it didn't help.

Maybe it wont work because $OUTSIDETEMP$ variable shows +54 C and not +54 F (RR thinks, that it is already fahrenheits). Gotta ask from Warfield if he can think of something..

Maybe Warfield could add something to IBusRR for detecting when motor is not running and then reset RPM variable inside IBusRR and update RPM to RR..

Nice Skin! The IBUS stuff is terrific. One question.... do you have a code to switch OBC back to MPG? (Edit: Disconnecting the battery works!) However a code would be a lot more elegant. Not to mention easier to do while driving

mjassbong · 05-24-2008, 10:23 PM

Excellent BMW skin. iGo is now my main RR skin. One thing I couldn't figure out:
I used to be able to use my Navi right knob to scroll through the menu items and pressing on the knob acted as [ENTER] with LSX, Simplistque, or FX skin. I couldn't do the same with iGoBMW. Any ideas or help is appreciated. Thx!

i am only getting a vertical small (pink) bar with this skin where i can see half of the compass/speedo, although background path set. anything to do with flash - special version or player required?

I had the same problem... check your rr.ini file for fastmode line.. it should be "fastmode=-1".

Check again and make sure a valid background is set.

You will need to update IbusRR.ini with your previous settings but in the new format.

Sorry, I don't, will have to wait for WaRFiElD to come back.
