here's a skin that i started. saw the concept in another thread and applied it to the brushed metal skin. comments and suggestions are welcome.

That looks nice!!

doode.. i love it. one suggestion thought. I think it would be more intuitive to have the buttons horizontally on top on the browser page then vertical. looking forward to the completed skin.

That looks awesome! Definitely one of the best looking skins I've seen...
Keep up the good work and keep us posted!

oooh man, I love it.

I see a minimize button for the first time, that can be very helpfull some times.

any release date?

kuo · 04-08-2005, 07:36 AM

release will be soon. i just have to finish the file browser screens and the web screen. i don't currently use mappoint so i may not do those screens until later.

Looking good... you know, since you use Routis, you can actually make skin buttons to perform Zoom+/- and other menu items like Enter Destination etc... just use the sendkey command like "SENDKEY;%(FD)" to simulate ALT-F, ALT-D for instance .. or "SENDKEY;%FD" to simulate ALT-F, D ... all you have to do is change the letters.. this basically simulates the button presses in the menus, but it's better than relying on clicking the small menus.. RRs application osk also works in the routis dialogs now, so you can also make a shortcut for it... those are not requests or critics.. I'm just saying that if you want to do it, you can..

Most of the times I read posts around her I can decipher what they mean....
this one..... not so much..... maybe someday when I get deeper into this skinning/interface thing...

Nice skin, Look forward to trying it out.....

almost time to release this skin. shooting for sunday.

thanks for the tip guino. i didn't know you could do that. i'll definitely get those buttons into the skin. i have an osk skin that is 200 pixels high. in screens like the audio player, apps, web, and mappoint, the osk loads at the bottom of the screen. with all embedded apps except mappoint, when the osk loads the application dissappears. in the external gps screen the osk loads at the top of the screen and the rest of the screen is black. is there any way for you to make the osk load and still show the embedded app? also can it load at the bottom or have it so that we can specify the location through the skin files? thanks again guino.

See, I only need ONE skin file to see how it goes.. then I can work on improving it.. all I have right now is that OSK from the brushmetal skin.. so if you can send me the current OSK skin you have, I can definitely improve it..

FreeDrive has jpgs and info which you could use.. but I did do a skin for Silent Admires Virtualkeyboard, your quite welcome to use that as well if you want.
