TWEAKS - IMPROVEMENTS
Thx to our friend Boki_Srb and Arimi I was able to improve the overall user experience in my iGO_Avic navigation.


TIME (Vertical) + BATTERY IN MENU

(battery in Menu and the CODE for TIME was added in this ux too) in order to get TIME IN TITLE but in vertical position.

Adding show_time_in title in our Sys file we can get time but only in HORIZONTAL position. If we want to have it in vertical position we need to play with the code little bit.

I edited Arimis ux and his code inside .css code (decreased the size of the font so it does not overlap with the X to cancel the route etc etc. I also removed the "glow effect".

NOTE!!!
In the images below this one are the old screenshots before I made some changes (battery percentage still overlaps) but now with this UX it is not the case anymore.

It took me days to figure out how to PREVENT Avic from changing color of the street names. Every time you start Avic it changes the color of the current street. So I tried many options and the trick was to remove everything after the line color: inside housenumber.css I kept adding lines after the
"color: ( %screen.nightmode ? current_street_color_night" but the trick was to remove all of it after the color: hmm simple lack of knowledge

color: ( %screen.nightmode ? current_street_color_night : current_street_color );

and just add this:

color: map_main_color

Just one line but due to the lack of simple/basic .css commands it took me days to figure it out..but the result is there..

WEATHER FORECAST
Of course it works in case of Pioneer but little bit different. We need some Copy/paste from GIFT or PAL.
We need to copy those files from the SAVE folder:

- service_register_v1.sav
- service_register_v1_A.sav
- service_register_v1_A.sav.cks
- service_register_v1_B.sav
- service_register_v1_B.sav.cks
Plus folder
- WEATHER

and place it on the same location in our Avic Save folder

BIGGER ETA/FONTS

As you may have noticed, Avic fonts are extremely small and it is very difficult for older drivers etc. If you want to change that you need to edit

Inside
Pioneer_skin/ux/pioneer_skin/plugin.ini
fonts to "BOLD"

[fonts]
default="roboto, Bold"
defaultbd="roboto, Bold"
defaultit="roboto, Bold"
tahomabd="roboto, Bold"
valuefont="roboto, Bold"
valuefontbd="roboto, Bold"


SIZE OF THE FONT

Pioneer_skin/ui_nextgen/common/ui/params_override.css

and the results are like this...(no need to lose your nerves with dpi/base dpi)..

REMOVE FAVORITE FROM THE MAP

If you are like me than you have many favorites. In that case you will have "Favorites Forest" of yellow icons on your map.

Problem is that in case of any "non-skin" version you can not disable Favorites from the map unless you edit data.zip

Here is how it is done:
Data/ui_nextgen/defaults/poi_visibilities

and remove "favorites" section

Inside save file remove poi_visibilities file and that is it..clea map. Favorites are still inside your menu but not on the map.


LOADING/SPLASH SCREEN

And as a bigest Pioneer Avic fan I decided to play with the loading screen to make it more personalised.... it is still work in progress but here are preliminary results...

iGO_Avic is my favorite NNG flavour.

EXTRA UX SET THAT CAN BE USEFUL

Here are some UXs I collected over the years but can be very useful with AvicSync. Those are all community created UXs. They are not the property of NNG or Pioneer and therefore do not breach the infringement rules.

Spoiler: CLICK TO EXPAND

Umwelt_Zone
works in Avic and gives you extra option in Route Preferences. It is very important for countries that are strict with Green Zone policy

Route_planning_o4i
Gives you additional route options - Green route (normally not present in Avic) and more like "More Highways" Less Highways or Scenic (Motorcycles) etc.

Grid_menu
Amazing ux and very useful for Tablets and big screens. This is useful for truck drivers. It rotates your screen and gives you real standalone navi look.

Button_Parking and Petrol + Labs
Buttons for cockpit which are very useful if you want to check parkings and petrols stations only along the route not few kilometers away from your route.

The rest of the UXs are easy to guess. I edited some of them to work inside AvicSync and to keep White colour etc.

THEY ARE TESTED ON AVIC!!! NOT SURE IF THEY ARE GOING TO WORK ON OTHER VERSIONS. THIS WAS POSTED TO IMPROVE/GIVE EXTRA (missing) OPTIONS INSIDE AVICSYNC.
