Well, I am working on something a little different now. It is not nearly close to completion, but I want to put some pics up to get everyones input. This is a Chrome theme (I think I have done everything else,) that is based on Dragon's 'Mayhem theme'. Some of the icons used are his with a mixture of mine. I want to get everyone's thoughts and suggestions. Here are some pics, I will update them as they become available.

 

Update V1.5

-Added new text boxes to match the Chrome theme

-Added new icons to both the main menu and the AV Menu

-Improved the look of some of the buttons as they did not match

-Improved the contrast slightly on Chrome bars for visual appearance

 

Update V1.2

-New AV Source pic and Destination pic on main screen

-More shadowing and enhancements in icons and graphics

-Ipod wheel is slightly bigger with bigger buttons

-Buttons no longer dissappear when pushed

Lol, thanks, I have it almost completed. I am just worried about it being too bright for those that do a lot of night driving. I dimmed it down a bit but I will have to test it out on Saturday when I go back on shift.

Well, here are a few that I have converted IDT's Skin 2 mod to tie in with the Chrome theme. It is ready now. My only concern is that it is too bright for night time driving. I gotta do some more testing at night to see if it is a problem. I toned it down some before I took these pictures

If you tap the compass button you get the Destination Dial, if you long press the compass button for 2 sec, you get the speedometer. They are both modified and available in your RedBlast theme.

Once I have the Chrome theme perfected, I will send it to you and you can test it out. I am kinda worried about night time driving. It is fine for me, but I really could use a second opinion.

beautiful skin! ..... I want it .......now !!!! :-)

Do You have created an European version?

 

thanks!

Posted Mar 09, 2010 · 12:42 UTC#17

I dont think that there is a difference between a european version and the US version as it is only the image.res file and not the Nav section

Hey Abb

 

Looks good!

 

Where did you end up finding the file for the AV display on the on map picture, where it displays the song title?

 

Thanks

It was in the image.res, in the AV folder. It was in smaller bars as it was a collapsable menu. That is why I had a problem finding it. I was looking for a larger file.

Posted Mar 09, 2010 · 19:30 UTC#20

is it up yet?

Posted Mar 09, 2010 · 20:06 UTC#21

Yep, I am awaiting too, even though I own a Droid and not an iPhone, this looks too good to pass up.
