and basically its the image.res file some of you may have downloaded plus the navi settings, history, and favs... complete with puffy buttons and red boxes for GTImatt and CMH data.zips. Or even without GTI or CMH's.
if you try it out, let me know how you like it, and even post up pics.

Looks like his files have been taken down. You will have to ask him if he still has them somewhere.

I would, but I don't have it anymore. I couldn't get used to the red.
They don't - looks like that user has posted blog links for every post made on different topics.
(if you pull up all posts by that user)
Very useful stuff

Another user was kind enough to provide a download to the files for me. All is good!
I started with a stock f90bt, updated successfully the image.res from the "fireworks + red" image posted here:
That worked great.
When I went to replace the data.zip from the "NAVI SETTINGS ONLY" data.zip (from the same link above) with the one on the avic at "myflashdrive/apl2/igo", the file copied over fine, but when I reboot, everything works fine until I reach the "System Startup in progress. Please wait" screen. It's just hangs there then reboots itself after a minute or so, then continues this loop.
I ended up loading the GTIMatt data.zip and it worked just fine. But as soon as I unzipped it and copy/replaced the graphics (.bmp images) with that from the "NAVI SETTINGS ONLY" data.zip, everything hangs again at the "System startup in progress. Please wait" screen after rebooting.
I went to download the specific "NAVI + GTI MATT" data.zip (from the same link above) to try my hand at that, and the link always gives me a java error and will not download (i've tried from 7 different computers with different browsers and operating systems, so I think it's a hosting problem). Also, it was mentioned this update needs a specific sys.txt document to get it running, but after searching for hours, I can't find it available anywhere.
Any ideas because I love how the "phase one" layout looks, and really want the red styled keyboard greatly, I just can't it to happen. What am I missing?
attached is the "hang up screen" i keep getting.
Mark.

it might be that the files are corrupted or you're not rezipping the data.zip properly, are you using 7zip?

well, all WAS good.. Red install went well, then installed GTIMatt's Mods (http://www.avic411.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=34&t=23003) and my AVIC reverted back to the prior install I had done of GUGA's theme. So, reinstalled GTIMatt's. Nav theme is back but no red.
Solution?

AFAIK you have to change a couple of bmp's inside the data.zip

OK, anyone know which ones in my current data.zip I should replace with ones from the Red theme?

the best way is to compare the red data.zip with whatever data.zip, try searching for a software called examdiffpro so that it would be easier for you to compare folders

I did not try 7zip. I compressed the file into a zip using Mac OS X Leopard, then but right click-compressing the file with Windows XP. I'll try the 7Zip though right now.

That did the trick. Everything is perfect now. FINALLY!

glad you got it working
Does anyone know what program/editor these people are using to "create" the image.res files? Because I want to swap out the fm, am icons on the red theme with another but the are stored within this file that I cannot break apart. Ideas?

7zip
My understanding was that 7zip was a compression program. I'm wanting to know what program these users are using to edit the file image.res (or al least be able to create one from scratch). If 7zip is able to do this, please let me know. If not, please let me know what will.

I believe most of them are using Photoshop.

for you to be able to edit the files inside image.res you have to extract it first, so 7zip for the bmps in image.res and photoshop or any image editor for the bmp's inside image.res
Ok, the 7zip was a good suggestion. It allowed me to extract the Image.res file into it's subfolders. Now I am having issues finding a way to compress all the folders back into the ".res" file extention. Other posts have said to use 7zip on it leaving an extention of .7z, but after uploading that to the APL folder, the unit will not boot properly. I've tried changing the extention manually to .res, and that works a little, but it's causing my main screen to just have text.
If anyone has sucessfully uncompressed a .res file, edited the contents, and also re compressed it back with the extention ".res", please let me know what you are doing, programs used, and OS platform.
Thank you guys.
