TomTom Skin?

[scottmo]

Hi,

Firstly, I'm new to this forum - and the whole site! It's been a great help to me already so... Thanks, everyone!

I run TomTom Navigator 6.030 (8320) with Uk and WE maps v6.75.1409.
I run this on my HTC TyTn II and everything is fine.*

However, I like to run it in 'map display off' mode because I find the full maps distracting. I like my HTC black and moody look and wondered if anyone knows how to get something similar on TT? Is there a way to skin it or change the blue colour to black or dark grey?

Thanks for any help you can give me!!

The only way I've noticed to change the vibrancy of the colors is to run it in night mode (which I do most of the time as I find it more appealing)

Have you tried the fix(s) for that?

Thanks for the V quick replies...

looking into them now.

The Night colours only work if you use the MAPS view, I want to run TT with the maps off (using just the white arrows on - the standard - blue, except I want to turn the blue black!)

Thanks anyway :)

Go into the safety options!!!!

Just set your speed really low (10 - 15 mph) & it will go to the arrow (Safety) screen any time you go above that. It says turn off screen above xxx kph or mph, but what it really does is give you the safety screen with only the arrow & pertinent details.

Thank you GSLEON3, but that's not what I mean...

I can get the white arrow etc no problem, it's the blue background that I want to change to black / dark grey to fit in with the htc theme. Maybe it just can't be done! I know it can't from within TT but I was hopeful that some sort of skin or program hack might be available for this??

Any ideas?

Do a google search or wait till Monday. Look for TomTom map schemes or colors. TomTom has a guide to making color schemes & also some downloadable color schemes on their website. I'm on the road so I don't have the links with me. I have a black & gray one I use though.
