New dashboard for EFILive (sneak preview)

[SS2win]

now all we need is a LCD display to replace the dashboard so we dont have to look at the laptop. damn I should have finished that EE :lol:

oooo, interesting concept
Bet that could be created pretty easily now.

Am I the dunce? I followed Blacky's instructions above but only get the background.

There may be a folder naming mismatch in the EFILive Metric.vdb file.
When I copied it to another PC, I had to change:

[DashPages]
DashA=C:\Documents and Settings\Paul\My Documents\EFILive\V7\VDash\EFILive Metric_A.vdp
DashB=C:\Documents and Settings\Paul\My Documents\EFILive\V7\VDash\EFILive Metric_B.vdp
DashC=C:\Documents and Settings\Paul\My Documents\EFILive\V7\VDash\EFILive Metric_C.vdp

to

[DashPages]
DashA=C:\Documents and Settings\HP_Owner\My Documents\EFILive\V7\VDash\EFILive Metric_A.vdp
DashB=C:\Documents and Settings\HP_Owner\My Documents\EFILive\V7\VDash\EFILive Metric_B.vdp
DashC=C:\Documents and Settings\HP_Owner\My Documents\EFILive\V7\VDash\EFILive Metric_C.vdp

[Blacky]

Actually it should really be changed to

[DashPages]
DashA=EFILive Metric_A.vdp
DashB=EFILive Metric_B.vdp
DashC=EFILive Metric_C.vdp

There must be a bug causing the full pathname to be saved.
The reason full pathnames are not used is to prevent situations just like this.

Still working on the other pids but like this ???




since my wife was whining about the green burning her eyes out, here is her suggestion just using a black background

Very cool, very scientific "cathode-ray-tube" style.
Two thumbs up.

Man! I can dig it!!! The cathode ray look is cool but I was thinking that with a laptop style LCD you wouldn't be limited to any style or layout. Someone could take this idea to the bank :lol:

I am going to have a blast coming up with dashboards and gages.

This was actually pretty simple to do now. invisible gages ROCK...

Personally I like the light and dark green but have to try both out in bright light. Also I need a font other then courier that looks better on that.

Going out in the GTO tonight and will try to match up the radio and dash font to this one.

OOOO
There is a dash theme, the GTO has gages and dic together.

NEW GOAT DASHes COMING TONIGHT!!!!

Hey Paul, there is something for EFI, CAR SPECIFIC Dashes. kewl huh !!!
