Thread: Newbie and totally confused

Thanks NAWAF for the explanation skins/schemes. So , it seems I have 76 schemes to chose from (confirmed from my directory tree).

From what I had read elsewhere, I should be able to change the skin by going to 'Change Day Colour' and selecting another skin - is that correct? If so, it doesn't work for me, which is why I don't know if I'm doing this in the correct way.

Schemes are changed under Map Settings/Day/Night Color, Skins are changed under Settings/Program Settings/Display

I think I understand now. I have put 2 more <skin>.zip files in the iGO/content/skin folder, I have deleted all files un the save folder before starting iGO after putting the zip files in the skin folder but STILL, when I select Tools, Display in the Menu, I only see the option of Default, and Default-night. Is there something else I should be doing?

you can change the skin by going to ... settings>display>day skin theme .... and select the skin you wish to use ... like diMka WA aP.1.3.3
again go ....while on display>night skin theme .... and select the skin you wish to use ... like diMka WA aP.1.3.3

exit and restart iGO for changes to take effect ... and redo your setup according to the new skin.


scheme:
you can change the scheme by going to ... settings>map settings>day map color ....... and select the day scheme you wish to use .
again go ....while on map settings>night map color....... and select the night scheme you wish to use .


here is an example:
skin: diMka WA aP.1.3.3 modern
scheme : nextgen day, nextgen night

it is easy ... just keep trying you will get it (eventually).

good luck
