I have a problem. I do not know, which from your skins to use, because all of them are excellent! I love Glikogliko-skin, Jocco, B1967, and so on...

I want to ask Glikogliko, I know that you have a lot work, but only if it is possible to set line-navi arrows to appear upstairs, now it appears in the middle and when I have most-tilt view, would be fine to have these line-arrows on clear sky upstairs. If you will have a while to do it, I will be gratefull, butt even without this change I will use your skin very glad!!! 8)

And another- in some skins, these line-navi arrows are smaller in night scheme - I have a solution - when I create folder NIGHT in folder "320x240", and copy every files (only files, not folders) from "320x240" and paste them to "NIGHT" folder, after that line-navi arrows appears same (bigger) size even in night scheme. Only for people, who want to got it like that.

Glikogliko, your skin evoke that I am stopping to miss TOMTOM NAVIGATOR, because with your skin I have TOMTOM with functions of IGO8, which is REALLY heartwarming, clarion, simply ingenious.

BIG THANKS TO ALL SKIN - MAKERS !!!



mickielli15, thanks for your recognition.
I positioned the lane arrows in the middle of the screen, because could be more important to foresee the upcoming road than watch the blue arrow, in that case.
I try to explain better: when the lane arrows appear, it means that a maneuver will be requested in a while. This means that probably there is a ramp, or a crossing or a junction. It should be important to be aware of that junction *and* have the lane arrows displayed. In that situation, the lane arrows will cover the blue navigation cursor, but you still can see in transparency.
I can arrange a version with lane arrows in the upper side of the screen, but I definitively don't like the choice.

And yes, I agree with you: I'm stopping to miss TomTom too :-) At the very beginning of the Igo8 usage, I told to a friend of mine that this software is well done, but has an horrible interface. How wrong I was.. I missed that this app can be fully customized.
The real thing I really miss is some documentation. At the moment any change is difficult due to high volume reverse -engineering work.. :-(

I cannot use your skin :(

I'm sorry lilitheking.
I think you should start using ONLY the Skin and the color scheme, avoiding the usage of the DATA.ZIP.
As I said, my DATA.ZIP is a reduction of the "Lewys 1.3" I got from PPCwarez, reduced to be used only at 320x240 *and* 240x320, removing every other resolutions.
Other this I overwritten the dayheightcolormap.bmp with a new one done by myself. This change has only impact on the color of the green land (I hate the bright default green, too strong. I prefer some kind of a "military" green-grey.

I hope this can help.

thank you


Visiteur57, thanks for your interest in my skin.
I'm still struggling with the 240x320 porting, and it is everything but easy :-(
I really don't know if I ever do this resolution, and neither I know when, in case positive...

Le skin de Gliko fonctionne très bien en mode portrait (240 x 320) avec le Mio P 550 (même si toutes les fonctions ne sont pas encore accessibles).
Merci pour le panneau de limitation de vitesses qui est très utile (bien plus que les alertes radar).

The skin of Gliko works very well in portrait mode (240 x 320) with the Mio P550 (even if all functions are not yet available).
Thank you for the panel to restrict speeds which is very useful (though more than alerts radar).

@b1967: Really great skin. I love it !! Thanks for it.

I have one personal suggestion. Is it possible to make the information on the left to have different colors? Since all of them are black on green background is difficult to see the information you are looking for. For instance, the distance to the next manouvre can be of different color and maybe a bit bigger (font-wise) and the current speed a different color. Is it difficult to do? Can you please explain me how to do it and I will try to do it myself.
Thanx once again.

Maybe you can try your self?


Thank you for the answer.
I would try but I need a guideline to determine which files must be modified.... :D
Where can I find information?

Glikogliko: Yes, I understand your reason to not use upstairs arrows in your skin, I think because you dont use "as tilt as allmost possible" view, in that case are those arrows on right place. But in my "tilt" case, route is very flat view and in some cases those arrows are blocking to view next turn, for example. Of course not in every cases. Is simply abot individually preferences.
Anyway, I dont want to disturb you in your work, because this request is only from me, which is one-person request and here are many others, who wants many others new things on your skin to have it even better, so- this my request you can leave "on the table" and if you will have sometime in future "empty" while, mickielli15 "tilt" user of your skin will be happy for this little change. Anyway again- BIG thanks, your skin is for me not good skin, but solution of use of my navigation, and I am sure not only for me. :-) Have a nice time.

Not only on highway, in my country they are working even in town. Not all roads, but often, which is very helpfull... (Tested few hours ago) :-)

mickielli15, I'll try to release a separate branch just for you: I love your country, and I hope to use my navigator to be another time there: last time I drove to Czech Republic, there was TomTom 3.xx and at that time there were no maps for your country.
I'll keep you posted.
ciao
