Standard interior display colour?

[S@njay]

Just wondering what’s the standard dashboard display colour of your car?

I’m doing a car pc front end for my dissertation; need to have it as professional as possible, so I decided to see what original car makers are putting into their cars!

Don’t want to have a bright orange front end on my hands!!

So what colour is your dashboard and audio equipment lights? If a poll could be made it would be great!

Thanks

As I'm writing a CarPC frontend myself, I'll give you a tip - don't even think of mentioning you're writing on on the Digital-Car or MP3Car forums until it's finished. They're like a pack of hyenas who have been shown a slice of meat, they'll keep attacking you until they get it!

Anyway, to really impress both uni markers and the community if you decide to release it - make it fully skinnable. This way there can be multiple colour schemes and layouts for different cars. This should get you a few more marks.

However, don't think that it'll be easy! There's a lot more to it than just a pretty front screen (which can be knocked up in Photoshop in a little amount of time), it's the behind the scenes technology, infrastructure and content that'll win you the marks.

So tru, everyone is hunting for AIMEE!

I have been looking at making a skinabble VB aplication, shame they dont use CSS!

Looks like the main colours are red, green, white, orange, and some cases blue.

I would make it skinnable, but only in terms of colour, its dangerous having to learn new layouts in the car environment.

Trying to make mine very simple, and useable, i dont like RR becuase i find it complex, its not for your average blond bimbo!

Once i finnish it, i'll give you guys a test run, see how you like it, think i am going to be hardcore coding for two weeks!

Its goinging to feature media player, custom FTP or winsock's, gps, hopefully phone control, and a few other tricks up my sleeve!

Green and red.

If you do GPS, if would be good if you could have a bar across the top or bottom that lets you access media functions (track title, time, forward, back, stop, pause, shuffle) while staying on the gps screen.

Basically a feature that lets you play music without having to change screen.

I think some already do this, just throwing it in there.

way ahead of you! I'm also looking at a embedded system, so a literal dump an image onto the hdd or cf, no need for instalation. The microsoft embedded website seems really good!
