[Release] iGSkinner BETA 3.9.5 - Page 2

I like the way that looks Rixst3r. Any timeframe you guys think that will be functional? It might be what I need to finally switch to RR from Frodo.

You don't get it off the screen. You just mask it with the application that is embedding it. Again, I'm not sure about Oleel's algorithm, but I've tried mine on 5 different PCs with different configurations and they all run my app as intended. No need to mess around with delay timings.

/me winks at Oleel

I haven't used iGSkinner because it does more than I care for, so I wrote a small app just to get rid of the nag removal and for the embedding. I haven't bothered with making the buttons bigger. IMO, a 7" screen is small enough as it is to give up real estate to bigger icons. As you can see, I've made the volume and menu button disappear, but they are still useable.

Actually, When I embed into RR @ 848x480 or 800x600, I get no borders, and the Zoom buttons are actually placed correctly.

Here is an actual screenshot of my skin embedded

I'm not sure why the "resize" issue isn't showing up when embedded, but I assume it has to do with how RR resizes the window prior to embedding.

Private Sub Form_Resize()
MoveWindow rHwnd, -5, -70, (Width / Screen.TwipsPerPixelX) + 5, (Height /Screen.TwipsPerPixelY) + 88, True
End Sub

rHwnd is the window handle for iGuidance.

Wow, this looks like just what I've been waiting for... I can't wait to try it out!

PLEASE post it!!!
I see you're using CF but I hope it can remove headers/statusbar in RR.

Also, in your 2D view, how come the car cursor is not centered? I've always felt that in "north up" mode, it'd be great to see more map in front of where you are and less of what's behind you. Does the position change if you're driving south?

This really boggles my mind, I should be getting the same results...
what version of windows are you running, and is it iguidance 2.0, 2.1, or Routis?

btw, you overlapped my zoom buttons... you should skoot the zoom- down a few pixels pixels... (if you want it to look like my original idea)

I still have my illustrator/photoshop files if you want to resize them more cleanly... and make a better matching menu button

0l33l,

First off, great utility, it is really making the iGuidance setup much nicer. I do have one question though. Is it possible to pass keystrokes through iGSkinner to iGuidance? When I run this embedded, it seems that I have to actually click on the map before I can use keyboard shortcuts. Is there a way to pass these keystrokes to the iGuidance window?

Once again, thanks for the good work!

RiXst3r:

I'm running iGuidance 2.1, on Win2k here at work. It all worked (minus skinning) with BETA2 on my XP machine at home as well. I did have to edit my RR skin though, as it was "hiding" part of the screen, with its own negative offset.

Also, I thought your original Zoom buttons were a bit too small, so I did a quick enlargement. This is only for testing, I'll do my final testing at home.

Dang... why is it not resizing to full height for me!!! this sucks!!!

I agree they are a bit small, I will resize them from the original ai files tonight, and repost the new cleaner ones...

iGuidance keeps your position cursor equidistant from the left and right edges. I'm not so sure about the upper and lower edges, but I see your point. I checked by running iGuidance directly and noted the point you made. In either case, it was centered left to right, but not top to bottom.

Like I said before, (1) I use hibernation with my system and didn't write any code for handling the GPS mouse warning. (2) CF doesn't close the process when it exits, which is not an issue if you are using hibernation.

I'll try RR out and let you know. If RR handles it the well, then I'll post it.

i just need some affirmation here...
this still doesnt work with Frodoplayer, right?

antimatter · 05-31-2005, 05:31 PM

excellent work. I can't wait until it works like Rixters mockups

RiXst3r · 05-31-2005, 05:45 PM

I would include a screenshot of it running by itself out of RR, but it looks exatly the same, just has the IGSKinner title bar at the top...

It can, if you dont get the resize bug I am getting, for some users it works fine... although ol33l butchered my skin in the beta3 release, to show off his sub-menu thing... it is possible to put it back together to look like my mockups by modifying the skin file

DRWeside · 05-31-2005, 08:12 PM

Here's my app for the nag and embedding.

1. I have it hardcoded for use with iGuidance. So your install of iGuidance should be in the default directory.

2. I'm using it with CF and have tried it with RR and it works fine.

3. The window name is NagBeGone.
