Hi , in includes.xml the visualisation are from position 253 . Here you can play with the dimensions - <width></width>
<height></height> https://github.com/idorel77/skin.CarPc-C...cludes.xml

And if you want to the visualisation back to the all buttons you can move the line 34 <include>Visualisation</include> from home.xml before the line  29 (video).

I will try to make a mask but i don't know if will work.

Thank you for your swift reply! I got it behind the buttons. Had to move logob above it to make it look the way I wanted, but it works!

Hello Idorel77,
I'm trying to execute openAuto through an "action button" with CarPC-Carbon. It is running on a Raspberry 3 B. I installed Raspbian, then OpenAuto, then Kodi and finally the CarPc-Carbon. In terminal I type /home/pi/openauto/bin/autoapp and the program will launch fine. However, I want to be able to launch it via the "Navigation" button in CarPC-Carbon. How does one go about this? Please help! Thanks!

Hi , you have to make a script inside the skin/script/your_file_name.py , like here: https://github.com/idorel77/skin.CarPC-t...er/scripts
inside your script will be something like this:

#######
import os
import xbmc

os.system("your terminal command"); 

#########

And your action command will be:
RunScript("special://skin/scripts/your_file_name.py")

Have fun!

Could you add a repeat button? (or tell me how can I mod it?)

Thank you!

Hello again Idorel77,
Please be kind I am rather new to raspberry pi and Kodi. As you had suggested I went searching for the "script" folder and I could not find it in the "skin.CarPC-Carbon" . However i did find a folder named that in your "skin.CarPc-touch-carbon" file. So I did try to install that but it wont install and says "The dependency on xbmc.gui version 5.3.0 could  not be satisfied". So that add-on will not work for whatever reason. I am running Raspbian Stretch with Kodi 17.6. I have even installed Raspbian Jessie with Kodi 17.3 and still no luck with being able to install "skin.CarPc-touch-carbon". What am I doing wrong? I have to be missing something. Or is there another way to launch a program (example OpenAuto) from an "action button" in Kodi with Carpc-Carbon? Please help! I am really struggling with this one! Thanks!!!

Did you installed this skin? https://github.com/idorel77/skin.CarPc-Carbon
Download as zip file , in kodi install addon as zip file.

Try to look in this folder after installed addon:~/.kodi/userdata/
and enable - Show hidden files and directories

Yes. That is the skin I installed. And installed perfectly fine.

However I am not seeing a "scripts" folder. This is what I'm seeing under "/home/pi/.kodi/userdata" folders- addon_data, Database, keymaps, library, peripherals_data, playlists, Thumbnails. Also there are 5 additional files - favourites.xml, guisettings.xml, profiles.xml, RssFeeds.xml, sources.xml. That is all I see. I have additionally went into all of the previously mention folders and I still do not see a folder named "scripts".

This is what I have tried....I tried to create a "new folder" and named it "scripts" inside that folder I created a file named "androidauto.py" .

The androidauto.py code reads as follows
###############

import os
import sys

os.system ("/home/pi/openauto/bin/autoapp");

#########################

When it is ran in Thonny it works perfect and launches OpenAuto program fine.
 But when I go into Kodi  and which has a navigation "action button" and has the following command ... RunScript("special://skin/scripts/androidauto.py")..... nothing happens.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. 

Thanks !!!

 Hi ,
is not working because the script and action command have not the same path.

You have to find the path where is installed the skin , look for the folder skin.CarPc-Carbon , inside is the scripts folder.
Or you can try to change the path of the action command .. RunScript("special://path to your file /androidauto.py")

Hi, is there any trick to switch between this skin to default raspbian desktop and vice-versa?

Hello,

I would like to see if there is a way of getting contact with yourself directly over the CarPC system. 
Forums are a little long winded and it would be nice to discuss a few things beyond the current scope of the project.

Hopefully you can help me out.
