both versions of the skin are night skins, im only supporting the current version (LSX) which is only the latest update to the older skin, its not a complete redesign. You can use SkinBedder3 if you like, its super buggy IMO thats why im still using 2.9 The way the skin is setup now, it should be fairly easy for anyone to customize the GPS screens to do whatever they want with them.
The paths are configured in the ExecTBL.ini file so you dont have to edit the .skin files just for the paths. Also, all the buttons in the GPS screens are labels, so you can edit the text on any of the buttons on the gps screens and also the code for those buttons to do whatever you like. You can also use the gps screens as a starting point for embeding a custom app etc.

That great Liquid_Smoke, I like the fact that it's text based for the labels, is this also true for the main menu screen? I'll like to modify that, maybe take out some of the options to make it simple. Can I do all of that without designing images? Will that be in the ExecTBL.ini file also? Thanks a lot.

unfortuanately, the main menu is about the only place i didnt use labels for the text, believe me i wanted to. But for design reasons, i was unable to use labels on the main menu. If you noticed when you mouse over the buttons on the main menu, the text color changes from black to white, i cant do that with a label and if i picked only one color for the text, i would of had to change the way the mouse over/down images looked because the contrast would of made it hard to see the text if it stayed black or stayed white. I do plan to release alternate main menus and a simplified ver with all labels.

As far as editing the labels found elsewhere in the skin, you will need to load the skin up in rrskineditor.exe or hand edit the .skin files in notepad both of which are very easy.

Thanks again. Any reason why you did a mouse rollover considering this is for car use and touch screen would be used? Anticipating your updates.

Thanks again

cuz a lot of people (me being one of them) use keypads and joysticks etc to control the computer so you need to know what you have selected. I for one use a xbox controller. I have a touchscreen but the touch part broke a long time ago, and ive become used to using the controller.

I noticed there's an alternate main menu in there as well. Menu2.skin seems to utilize the alternate, very red menu, but I get an error upon loading RR if I try to rename menu2.skin to menu.skin.

Any tips on using that alternate menu as my primary interface, as it implements exactly the buttons I need?

Also, I made a Sony Ericsson HID Remote file to match the skin and posted it here: http://www.mp3car.com/vbulletin/show...t=62791&page=3 (posts 38 & 39). I hope you don't mind, I tried to follow your vision as well as I could. I'll take it down if don't approve.

that looks hot, all good by me. I would probably make the top left corner look like the top right corner metal all the way across.
Looks good though, i like it. What do the up and down arrows do?

I need to upgrade my phone i have a T680 and want a W800 badly sony phones rock.

as for the alt menu, that is the start of a set of alt menus i plan to release. I wasnt too thrilled with the one your talking about. But it should work for you if you rename it. What kind of error do you get?

i see the problem

there is a label in there that has missing data. At some point i had a bad save a while ago and a lot of my labels had bad data, this one slipped through the cracks.

open the file in note pad and delete the last line at the end of the file right before END

the line to delete looks like this
L,0,0,0,0,,,,,,"GPSSPD",

for astetic reasons, you may want to delete these two lines at the top of the file also. I think it looks funny.
/, J, x, y, w, h
J,17,136,126,111

OK, to use the menu2.skin as the main menu
rename it to menu.skin, open the file in notepad and replace all the data inside with this

Code:

note: this only applies to the initial main menu when you first load RR. The other menu screen that has exit,power, weather etc will still be in the default style.

Good stuff, I like the red menu because it has exactly the functions that I use, I don't have a DVD player or sat radio, and I never use the apps screen.

The up and down buttons on the remote are for scrolling through the playlist. The up and down arrows on the side of the phone control the volume.

What do I change in the exectbl to get it to work with mappoint? I changed it to reflect mappoint, instead of skinbedder/iG, but whenever it launches it launches full screen, not embeded.
