Skin question...

[Thirteen]

Hi all...

I don't know what I'm making wrong, but there is always the same thing, when I try to activate my skin, there are just small yellow quadrats on the top left.

I thought, that I would make a new video skin just with the informations: Uptime, Speed, Time, Altitude. For "my" skin I don't need any more controller options...But can somebody help me to make the "thing" running...I was about 2 hours between car and notebook...but I've don't found any mistake. I've also read the instructions on wiki, but nothing helps...

Here's the link to the skin: http://www.backward.ch/clio/rs.zip

Thanks for helping...

Add an empty line at the end of your ws_skin.conf file !
Sorry for this constraint and the pain...

HI

Here is an old tutorial :

Thank you master ,a question ... I can fuck any 480x272 image place the icons (play, stop etc) and tell the file skin.conf parameters where each icon? Is that correct?

[wolfgar]

Yes,

You design a picture and then you tell where the icons and text have to be displayed in the configuration file...
Once again, do not hesitate to ask for support if you are faced with issues to setup a working configuration file ...

Hello Wolfgar

This parameter is used for?
SKIN_CMD_ANIM = 17

[wolfgar]

Hmm
Let s say it is undocumented for now

Seriously it aims at enabling an animated png or gif on a skin...
If you want to use it : i will make it work but you cannot expect it to work right now ...

Regards

[manolomontero]

Hi, I have placed an animated gif with this parameter and the moving gif but the 3 seconds blokea the skin.
I say this because it could have a more visual and vibrant skin.

[wolfgar]

As i said : "you cannot expect it to work right now ..."
It was not a lie

[Chris78c]

excuse me Wolfgar, what is the SKIN_CMD for year?
The DAY is ctrl=43,
the MONTH is ctrl=44,
the weekday is ctrl=45,
there is a ctrl for year?
can you refresh the post where is the CMD?
many many thanks ^__^

[wolfgar]

Hi,

No there is no cmd for year alone.
I can add it easily but I will not release anything before stabilizing integration image (including BT)
