Hi everyone,

Just would like to find out how could I change the colour of the main route in my navi screen from green to something else?

Also the clock -font and color if possible.

And last can I change the direction arrows that appear in the top left corner with the distance to the next turn etc. from green to different color or even make my own ones?

Just not sure if its all to do with .bmp files or scripts.

Cheers for any help/info,

stm

Also the clock -font and color if possible.

look for this code in your navigatemap_800_480.ui

and change color and color2 values to a hexcolor of your liking

And last can I change the direction arrows that appear in the top left corner with the distance to the next turn etc. from green to different color or even make my own ones?

 

for the direction icons, you have to edit diriconbig.bmp in common folder,

IDT you are a legend! Thanks for that info. Will try to play with it a little.Anyone knows which code is responsible for the main navi road colour?

Cheers everyone

Cheers everyone

i think that's controlled by the color scheme

not sure about the main navi route color but when you are in route, when the road is highlighted, that is the planned route line of the color.ini file in the scheme you are using. make sure you change it in the day scheme and night scheme. i used the color hex tool. i only changed the color not the ref values. good luck. i used the real day stormy and real night.

Thats it JLEA, where abouts is the color.ini file or more info would be great:). Sorry to be pain lads just want to do it right

Cheers,

Stan

hey stan

just go into the scheme folder, you should then see different zip files, click on one to open it and then in there are the color.ini files. just change the colors to what you want and save it. i pulled the color.ini file to my desktop then edited saved and replaced it right in the zip file, no extracting necessary, and it works fine. good luck

JLEA I found the shemes folder and inside it I have Pioneer blue day, Pioneer blue night, Pioneer red day, Pioneer red night.

This is the content of the Pioneer blue day color.ini file that was zipped in it:

Could you please point out to me which values I should change to make it black for example? I wouldnt have a clue where to even start on that

Also do I have to change all Pioneer blue day, Pioneer blue night, Pioneer red day, Pioneer red night?

Cheers and sorry for being a pain

http://www.colorschemer.com/online.html hey stan this is the link to the hex editor. i don't know if i attached it right so just copy and paste if i didn't. the color code for black is 0,0,0. so here is what to do, do this in all the scheme color.ini and if they have color3d.ini also

look for this section:

if you want something different then use the hex tool and play around with the colors this is all i did and it worked so good luck! don't remove any comma's or quote marks because i am not sure what they do...numbers only!!!! k

Nice one dude, tested night mode and so far it works

Cheers

Tried Notepad yet?

i used gimp to edit the pictures. this was the only way i could get the file to open, i don't have photoshop but i think that would work to. if you download gimp then drag the file to your desktop and right click..pick edit using gimp.. the file should open up for you. i only used the colorize option though because i didn't want to start messing with alpha layers and things like that. good luck!

I tried to change my planed road/rout line from green to purple following this info but it does not change.

tried on all planed road with and with out ; in front of it.

you must have not saved it correctly. try the directions on how to replace color.ini back into the scheme at the beginning of the post somewhere.

Which one would be responsible for main roads folks? (not planned but the one that is blue in Pionner Blue Day/Night etc.)

Cheers,

stm

i'm not sure about that one stan... sorry

There's not once set for all main roads, software distinguishes several classes (you could look into some of color scheme files... some include more comments than others).

It seems that a/A are the biggest ones, b/B are smaller, etc. down to h - city side streets.

No problem JLEA

BorisM I will play with the codes in the schemes, I find the blue kinda too bright for my liking to be honest in day/night mode.

Thanks a lot,

Stan

Here is my Color.ini file I changed but it is still green and not purple.
