Looks amazing! Computer is out of the car at the min for rewiring and a broken touchscreen so look forward to getting it back in soon with that to show off!

Nice work CDR!

Can't Wait! Your skins are absolutely AMAZING. Perhaps one of the most talented skinners on mp3car! Keep up the good work!

You

but lets just hope you finish this one.

CdR - smooooooooooth.....

That video tells the tale - what you've got done is "tight" and you were cranking thru that and everything was smooth - quick - and just well woven.

Very much looking forward to running with it. Should there be any issues with a full flash skin and the IG and other external app integration - i.e. if someone wants to add pages to a skin like that, is it hard or impossible to do without flash coding those pages?

Thanks again - great work and appreciate all the efforts you must be putting in.

I will also release two blank flash skins, these will allow you to have the flash bottom / top and bottom / top / side buttons but still have your normal 4 jpg skin which you can then use to do any additions needed. These will be issued with the first release, but may also change as time goes on.
