gmschiller Posted April 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2007 Sorry it took so long to get back on here. OK, I added them to my Album. Here's the link. Enjoy my friends. I'll post more as soon as I have a little more time to find the right backgrounds and alter them. http://avic411.com/gallery/thumbnails.php?album=34 Gerry Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gmschiller Posted April 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2007 I posted a couple more backgrounds in the gallery. I'll continue to add more as I find images I like so check back every now and then. Let me know what you think. Some images I can change the colors slightly on. Let me know if you'd like one a little custom for your color theme. My truck is dark on the inside, so I like the darker themes... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wazooz2424 Posted April 26, 2007 Report Share Posted April 26, 2007 feel like centering an audi logo in the 2nd and 3rd from bottom left on page 2? issa appreciates it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gmschiller Posted April 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2007 I'll give it a shot. Haven't really layered any of these yet, but that's not to say I can't figure it out. I'll message you if I get something worth sending you finished Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ok, I got ahold of some logos. Slapping them onto the backgrounds should be a snap. Now, would you mind looking at the file names in my gallery and telling me exactly which ones you want modded? Ducatiboy, I have a few more logos that you didn't have in that photoshop project that you had on your site. If you would like them, I can zip and send them for you. They're nothing really special... just some extra ones I noticed you didn't have is all. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gmschiller Posted April 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2007 Ok, I found some logos. Again. I didn't make these... I just found them here and there. They are easy enough to slap on the backgrounds though... also, I've found a nice little blending tool that adds an intersting effect if you like the abstract thing.

gmschiller Posted April 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2007 Well crap, got the truck/Z1 back and decided I needed to play. so, I burned my images I have been working on according to the very vague instructions in the manual and it didn't read the files. WTF. Ok, I realize there is a certain format it likes, and a certain minimum file structure and size. Has anyone worked out a step by step how to for making these discs yet? YEs, I searched for Image disc background images. I got lots of psts and some eluded to how to's... most by Dutatiboy.... If anyone has mastered this, please pm me. I have no interest in making coaster after coaster. Also, has anyone been able to use a DVDRW? I only ask because after my coaster I just made... I only have DVD-r and DVD-rw left to play with unless I go to staples or best buy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
action Posted April 27, 2007 Report Share Posted April 27, 2007 I just use standard CD-R. I put the jpgs into a folder called "Pictures" and create a dummy folder, called "dummy", and fill it with about 100 Mb of junk (as per manual). I think you have to make sure that there are no mp3s in any of your folders. I create my jpgs with Paint Shop Pro 9, and burn them with nero 6.3 I think I read somewhere that this will NOT work with DVD-anythings. Buy a couple of CD-RWs. It should work with that (it works for audio CDs anyway) and you can just keep re-using it. Hope that helps. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I didn't think of calling the "Dummy Files" actual Dummy Files (in a folder). I just assumed that it needed to be a separate folder from the pictures folder. And here I am insulting the Writers of the AVIC Z1 Owners Manual. My apologies! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gmschiller Posted April 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2007 Got off my butt and bought the discs. Everything is working fine now. I started making some random images with a couple different logos in it based off of the number of views I have been getting in my photo section. I found that I couldn't load them. I guess there's limits on the amount of storage members are allotted. No biggy. If you want one customized, just send me an email. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
