[Mike Pfeifer]

Hmm, going to have to check out Gimp. Thanks.

In case anyone wants to check the GIMP image manipulation software out, it is here.

You can still find copies of photoshop CS6 online that are not cloud based. I may or may not have a copy running on windows 10.

Being very un-artistic, does anyone have some backgrounds pre-made?

You can take any high quality picture and re-size or crop it to 800 x 480 pixels and use that.

Here are a few I made. The Bullitt ones, I grabbed off the net just now and readjusted.

EDIT: I just noticed this isn't a Bullitt.

I like this one better.

Here are some I made. Some may need to be a tad darker. Up to you.

Let me see what I can do with that.

Ok. This was the best I could do without making a whole new graphic from scratch. It looks a bit brownish on my laptop screen. It may look fine on the car. Let me know how it looks.

Love it!! Thank you!

Cool! Looks better than I thought it would.
I thought you had a transparent menu bar? You went back to default?

It's actually a custom theme, looks icy, but in the picture it looks blue.
So, guess what. I tried to revert back to transparent theme, like it the best, inserted USB, told me mod already exists. Hmm. Need to research. I am able to switch around using custom themes by reinstalling them, no go with transparent theme. Be warned.

EDIT: Submitted a "ticket" at FMods.

Thanks for the heads up. I have been reading that the mods are somewhat uninstall-able. There is a way to do it. I think you need to edit the script that installs the mod. Or create your own with the files you want to overwrite. Is that the Aquaglow mod?

Yes, need to look into this further. I do R and SQL programming. I believe its JSON, the scripts they use..
Yes, Aqua Glow mode.

I bought my radio through a third source to upgrade to 8” so I don’t have a warranty anyways. Thought I’d have some fun.

I like the transparent look, but it looks like it would benefit from some dark outlines around the fonts and glyphs. I wonder if it’s possible to do a translucent style where the background is obscured and blurred behind the buttons. Could be shaded to help with readability.
