John, Joe,

Thanks very much for your comments!

I have packed (zipped) up the dash pages and the associated PID file. This can be downloaded from HERE.

Only thing is my laptop is a really high resolution widescreen, so this may look kinda out of proportion on a non widescreen. :wink:

Even if you use this as perhaps an example... I actually found once I got started it didn't take as long as I imagined it might.

Would be interested to see other peoples "examples" if there anr any out there.

Cheers,

Maybe sometime in the future after things settle down and after SEMA, they could add a small section for user based Dashes (Skins). People could display their skins and make them available for download. :idea:

That's a nice one Andrew, very functional and easy to quickly get info from.

Yes, a dash section would be nice.

Cheers,
Ross

Have you read this doc?

I've read http://www.efilive.com/doc/Tutorials...20Tutorial.pdf

I have no trouble moving guages and creating new ones ect.. But some of the gauge styles and the back ground graphics I'm lost on. If its in the pdf I'm probably reading it but not understanding it.

I would like to use this guage background

Duplicating this layout

[Black02SS]

Doing that won't be in any tutorial. You have to be firmilar with Photoshop or other software that will allow you to crop/smooth/modify the existing image. When you get the image you like, you will have that as the desktop and place your gauges in there.

[Black02SS]

Here is a quick idea. Take the gauge you have now, remove the needle and numbers. Set that as your background for either the gauge, or make a entire dash from them, the choice is yours. Then add the needle and font for the values.

MN C5,

Where were you when the dash competition was on, that blue dash is actually mine as well 8) 8) 8). I did that blue "functional" dash before EFILive added the functionality to produce these way more awesome ones.

With your vote I might have beaten Chad

Cheers,
