Thread: Newbie Question regarding destination summary screen

The only other thing I'd like, is to be able to do is change the skin colour so it remains on the night theme...The darker menus seem to match better with my car. If I could figure those bits out I'd provably use it as my go to skin.

Yes, you can remove that timer and change it to the night view at all times. The only thing that you can't do is remove the current speed from the bottom-left (but IMO, it doesn't do much good to display the word "Menu" at all times either). I mainly like the skin because you can have the 3 data fields open at the bottom of the screen, which clears the map screen to make more f the map visible. It can be cleaner than stock while also providing more functionality. I also like the Mute/Unmute hidden hotspot a LOT (upper left-hand corner). The skin adds a whole new menu to the Setting menu - in there you can disable that time. You can make the screen the night view at all times in the Map setting (I think, I'd have to look it up). You can also get rid of the compass (and go back to the regular "More menu icon" and also remove the "average speed' from the button in the bottom left (the smaller blue number). You can also change transparency settings, fonts, etc, etc, etc. TONS of options. :-)

Explore the settings menu. If you can't find something, let me know. Also, check the images I posted way back in the start of the thread to see all of the new "hotspots" you have with Decent. Once you get used to it, you'll never go back to stock!

Also to change the boot-up screen, the easiest way is to create an "ui_igo9" directory in the main primo directory (where the primo .exe is) and put an 800x480 .bmp file that you want to use in there and call it "loading.bmp" - then Primo will display that image at startup. Let me know if you need any help!

Many skins provide better choices than just fixing the 3 fields at bottom, which by the way take the place of current street and doesn't really clear up any more screen space for map. I even argued that having data fields at the side instead of occupying the middle of map is better. I want to see more middle than side of a map. Personally, I only care about distance to destination. Some skins even provide option to switch between seeing one or all fields with a single click. But my favorite skin ability is timed display where a set fields are shown when the display is touched and disappeared after some time.
NextGen default skin, to me, looks much cleaner. But then that's another story.

Yeah I kinda agree on most points...Less clutter is better and the maps run smoother without the need of it having to update too many fields.... I do quite like the 3 data fields hence why the default skin looks a little cleaner with it up the side in my opinion

It's the "intelligent" management of data that's important. Cast in point, do you care more for a Nav to tell you instead of show you things? Especially when driving where you should be looking at the road and not at your Nav unit? But hey, some people preferred their radio over a Nav announcement.

I never knew that...hey I learn something new everyday
