I started coding a front end to customize my 2007 Mustang.
I've made it skinnable now so it's possible to customize the look.

Features:

• Fully skinnable using XML config file. Configure a button's size, font and text, then select it's function.
• Uses WMP library to play media.
• Radio and TV using DirectShow
• Launcher to launch any program with a selected parameter (good for running games from emulators)
• Gallery function for viewing images.
• Uses Phidget Encoder to change volume and select music, etc.

PM me if you would like to test this front end.

Screens from the first skin are here:

But, it's skinable so you can make it look however you want.

What happened to Enforcer's Website?

Do you have a feature list of things your front end supports, like GPS, etc.

If you need help developing any of it let me know.

Hessian

No GPS feature yet.

Features are at the top of this thread.
I'll add more if there is an interest.

Hi hessian,

Well I tried to run your frontend but ran into a few problems the program shows up like this:



So what did I do wrong. I guess there is a problem with the fact that I use windows xp pro (dutch edition). I included my config and current settings file.

With kind regards,

FG van Zeelst

Are you using WMP 10?
Anything in the library?
Check your Configuration.xml file.

That skin was created to have something with more contrast. In the next version it will be updated to look better. I'll also have a skin that looks like the newer nav version of the head unit for the Mustang.

I've decided to devote some more time to this project. I'm reworking the app so it will be possible for other developers to provided extension screens or plugins.

Features:

The app will be able to run at any size the skin is created at.
Plugins will be easy to create and test inside and outside the main application.
Plugins will be in effect separate applications that can communicate with the main application for configuration, appearance data and basic functions.
