Night Skin

Most skins seem to be cluttered with buttons and options like cdrip, tv, audio, phoco, browser, etc. All those options are cool and all, but I never use them, so I don't need them and I'm going to leave them all out.

(Maybe when the skin is done for my needs I'll add screens if there is a request for it, or I'll just release the psd files.)

Screenshots:

Main Menu (night skin): (added new screenshot 25-09-05)

Audio Player: (added new screenshot 25-09-05)

I also made skins for FreeDrive and MapMonkey check www.zdclan.nl for more info.

Looks great..
Like the fact that it is not cluttered as you say yourself..
Not _everybody_ have tv and/or phoco needs in their car..
I atleast know that I am not one of those who need it..

Cant wait to see the changes to the background..

Cheers

Looks great!

Maybe you can change the button fonts a little, I think they don't match the 'LCD screen' in the middle.

Meelobee · 07-11-2005, 08:08 AM

Agreed, that's why I asked for good fonts, I've spend hours (litterally) looking for a good font, but I can't find one. So if you happen to know a good font please tell me!

I've updated the pictures in the 1st post. Still not happy with the background, but it is better than it was.

Thanks Mauri, I used "Venus Rising" on the Main Menu.

paran0id · 07-11-2005, 06:17 PM

Yeah! Nice update to the first pic, now it seems more "alive" so to speak..

Blue ZX3 · 07-12-2005, 01:26 AM

I too like this one...it does have that simple look to it, and yet is interiging...will have to try this one if you finish it...

Erwin · 07-13-2005, 04:47 AM

The new font looks much better. I hope you finish the skin soon.

Erwin · 07-13-2005, 05:19 AM

Hey Meelobee, I just saw that you are from Amsterdam. There is also a Dutch 'carputer' forum.

www.carputerforum.nl

We are trying to make a 'carputer forum' skin, you may want to take a look at it

http://www.carputerforum.nl/carpc/showthread.php?t=704

We are now collecting some skin ideas. When we have gathered some skins we pick out the best looking skin and finish it.

Groeten Erwin

BTW: I think you better remove the 'Artist Album Time Track' labels from the menu.skin picture because you always get some color difference between the labels. I think it is better to put in all the labels with the skineditor.

I've got an account there, but I don't think people like me much there, because of a comment I gave on someone's car

(admitted I wasn't very subtle, but said what I thought..) But I'll have a look.

You mean take out the labels in Photoshop and add them in the skineditor? Nice, I didn't know that was possible. As you said the color difference is a PITA. Thanks, will try that.

Do you have msn? might be nice to have a chat sometime.(meelobee@hotmail.com)

I've never noticed you there. I just searched for some of you posts, and most of them are deleted. You must have said some really bad things there.

That is exacly what I mean. To add a textlabel in the skineditor just use the = sign. E.g. "=Artist". If you want another example just look at the Brushed Metal skin. At the upper right corner of the meni.skin (L03 CAR and L05 outside)

Yes I have MSN it is implemented in XP, but I never use it. If you want to contact me you can always send me a privat message.

Looks great!! I like it

Hi Melobee, is it possible to have more space between the 2 sliders. When change one you can by mistake change the other too, especially while driving.
