@Andrey Form I found it!!!
In order to get the "Right hand drive" and keep everything else (like preferred speedcam icon pack) as before, there is no need to replace all four provided zips.
The replacement of three files which are included in the_skin_by_pongo.zip is just enough:

Spoiler: +

These files are located in \the_skin_by_pongo\ui_nextgen\common\ui\ subfolder.

And of course activation was done by inserting to sys.txt:

What is the benefit of "Right hand drive" feature?

What is special/important/good about it?

If your navigator device is on the middle area of your vehicle's dashboard and your steering wheel is on the left then the "Right hand drive" iGO feature (menu buttons on the left side) are closer to you.

Shorter & quicker stretches

less distracted driving

We can also reason by saying that when driving on the left, normally having the buttons on the right on the screen allows to have a constant visual on the map when manipulating with the right hand,

By using the "Drive on the right" mode which can result in driving with the right hand on the steering wheel, allows the free left hand to be used for manipulations on the gps when the latter is either in the center in a driving vehicle on the right or when the gps is on the window on the left of the driver on the mirror side in the event of driving on the left.

Hi friends,

Thanks

As you can see in the photos below, in the Pongo skin the buildings appear flat, while in other Luna skins, they are in classic 3d.

BIBOUT, Yes, that's what I mean. Perhaps the word "flat" is not exact. I do not mean flat without distinction of the ground, but they have a minimum elevation, see the pictures of my post.

They are both LUNA skins .

I can't understand why Master Pongo publishes a skin with flat buildings.
It may be the taste of it, but it could give you another option.
I've been happy with the Pongo skins on Nextgen for a long time, and if something squeaked at me, it was easy to dive into the skin and change it.

Now with this skin, I'm only missing the 3D buildings and ... something else ...

those annoying labels roads ...on the horizont.

As you can see in my pics, Pongo's skin shows roads labels on the horizont, while Aldo's skin shows a clean horizont, that's what I'm looking for in Pongo's skin, apart from buildings!.

I have tried everything in default.vis files, but with Pongo crash. while Aldo is rid of absurd roads labels.

I want a clean screen, without any poi, or gas station, or speedcams, or crosswalk in a town miles away from my route...

for example: I go from Madrid to Paris, ... on the highway, should the number of secondary roads jump around?

that bunch of road signs numbers are just a sht .

if I need something, that's what the resources are for, I don't need a screen overflowing with things .

You may ask yourself: then, why not use the aldo skin?

Because I like Pongo's, I've used it a long time .

only if it's on my route !

But, that will be my next problem ...

I will be grateful for any solutions to my various problems
