Now look for [iGGPS]. Its self explanitory from then on.

K. Make believe I have to explain a complicated legal idea to you, and I just used words that make no sense to you.

Panel, what the heck is panel? I just got used to nudges and nudging, and now I have to deal wiht panels. And all this [ig...] stuff, what the heck does that stuff do.

Come on, explain things, in ENGLISH please.

For 3D view toggle, just send a keystroke value of '3'
Typing '3' on your keyboard toggles 3D view. It's a standard iG feature.

Sweet, just updated the ini, and it works. Cool

I also have a list of the rest that I could find in 3.1.1

F=Full Screen mode
w=weather
v=volume
r=route list

I bet there are more.

Hehe... "3"... hehe. That's much easier

psyrex: I just changed the SKINbedder window stype from wsNormal to wsNone. Now SKINbedder will have no menu bar nor Max/Min/Close buttons nor boarders that allow you to re-size it. That's what you want right? I will make the WindowStyle configurable in the INI.

WiredWRX: Do you get it yet or not? The default settings should be fine, I don't know what is wrong with your RR. If you want to try playing with the nudge settings, then just change the settings under [iGMain].

[Panels]
PanelSectionName=(class, )name.

This lists windows to auto-embed whenever they appear. The "WindowClass, " is optional. The "WindowName" or Title is not.

[PanelSectionName]
ListOfPanelSettings

This contains all the panel positioning and window embedding nudging values to use for the window once it gets embedded.

To give you the basic tree structure:

Form - The main SKINbedder form. Form settings and general global-variable settings are all now under the [SKINbedder] section.

Panels - Panels are created on statup. One panel is created for each line under the [Panels] section. The panel gets is position/size info from it's own [x] section. When a window opens that is listed under the [Panels] section, it is embedded to the existing panel and nudged acording to the settings under its panels [x] section.

Buttons - Buttons didn't change from the last version and will be totally re-done for the next version (each Panel will have it's own set of buttons).

List of default iG panels included in the packaged INI file:

iGMain - The main iG map window.

iGGPS - The GPS Info window is automatically embedded over the lower right corner of the main map window if it ever opens.

iGMenu - The main menu is embedded when you press the "menu" button. This is just to show people how it works. Once the new buttons are done you will be able to SKIN your own iG Main-Menu. Add a ";" in front of iGMenu= in the [Panels] section to dissable this currently pointless embedding.

iGEnter - This is the Enter Street Name window. This is set up for adding a skinned OSK in the future. If you just want to use this version in your car right now, you should probably put a ";" in front of this one too.

Alternatively, you can add [x] sections for every window that appears in SKINbedder and position everyone where ever you want it. Currently you can not hide the buttons because we don't have SKINbuttons per-panel yet, but this is comming. If someone does spend the time to add every iG window to the [Panels] section so that SKINbedder always embeds everything, please share the INI with me to save me some time

I am curious, did you test this with IG 2.1.1, or another version. Not sure if it makes a difference, but I am using 2.1.1, if you want to test Sb with it.

Thanx soo much.

As for my problem, I can not figure it out at all.

It always worked so well for me. How can I nudge the screen to be correct?

Thanks! that's pretty much what I wanted it to look like.

WiredWRX: Check this link out for (some? all?) hotkeys plus a program called iGKeys which has more mapped keys: gpspassion

Update...the answer is still NO,NO,NO...the only way i can get it to work is if I either start SB first then RR or before I goto the gps skin that I min RR start SB and then goto to gps then all is great, or at least till I standby/resume then it really doesn't matter cause with the tool bar a the top theres no way to reconnect the mouse...

Blue ZX3 · 07-06-2005, 01:41 AM

I got mine to work with RR finally.

If you like, I can send you my ini, and you can test it with your setup.

Blue ZX3 · 07-06-2005, 01:44 AM

another thought...

I also noticed after having the sat in the cormer that if you go and scroll the map around, its really hard to click the X to get back to the reg map view

The skin you got in the zip is the skin I'm using.

BTW: For those that have iG not fully in the panel, try closing SKINbedder and starting it again. Repeat a few times. Post if it put it into its proper place.
