First attempt to fix address_search_classic
Today I tried to figure out what "address_search_classic" is supposed to do.
Supposedly it should bring back the "classic" search by country/town/street, but on my install there not even an "address" menu choice (did I misconfigure something?)
As a total newbie to IGO skins, I tried to disassemble the LUNA LUA files without success (seemed to work OK with older skins)... :beating:
By hand (LUA 5.1 byte-code is not too complex), I was able to get a quarter of the way, added a few print statements ... only to find out the code is broken: it seemed to match with an older IGO runtime.
Then I tried to modify "the_skin_by_pongo.zip" but could not find how to edit "info.ini" to preload a new ux extension and/or "hg_search" (seems to be some 16 bit UNICODE code file).
I then tried to modify "hg_search.zip" (the OneBox search) and that (finally) delivered some progress:
and it does allow to select the country and city:
Not quite the same as the old address search but IMHO a little better than Search all --> global --> select "in a country or City".
Maybe I can add the street and number at a later stage...
To install:
- remove "address_search_classic.zip"
- replace "hg_search.zip" with the attached version
If any of the experts have some suggestions, I'll be happy to look into it.
Hopefully it works for you too,
Ewald

Condensed lists and main menu modification
I found myself scrolling a lot through menus and lists and often wished there was a bit less space padding around the list items.
So why not attempt to get a bit more information on all of the screens that contain lists ?
The modifications work both in portrait and landscape mode and are calculated based on actual screen dimensions. It won't be optimal for more square devices though.
Right now all list have been condensed but it's possible to do it more selectively based on your feedback.
It should also be possible to make these changes work for all skins and for native Luna (when I get some time to figure out how to best do this)
To install, unzip (7z) the attached zip file and overwrite the (3) Pongo ux files. NOTE: changes are based on Pongo skin dated 27/5/21
Happy and safe driving...
