Sounds good, Thank You. I wish I could afford a Delorean :).

Also, and it seems to me like the Driver/Passenger text is ever-ever-ever-so-slightly not centered under the numbers... but that might just be a little OCD kicking in.

Thanks for the pics TiPilot. I tweaked and repositioned the Entertainment glow. Where the text and icon are so close I had to modify it. Also I check the center of the Climate text and you were right it was a few pixels off :). I fixed it.

Thank you to everyone else who likes the wallpaper! I updated the existing links to the pics and the PS template. Also the PS template now includes the glows and text.

EDIT - due to the opacity mask the MFT software adds to any background, the text is a bit too gray for my liking. I'm going to have to play around with it.

Nice. The driver is on the road, but the passenger somehow ended up on the grass. Must have insulted the driver

And who says subliminal messaging doesn't work...?

Looks good gullwing, keep up the good work! I think the green circle will show a subtle "halo" around the compass at night.

Awesome gullwingdmc! that's exactly what I was suggesting!

Next suggestion, not necessarily to add more to this wallpaper... but an idea incorporating an icon or symbol in each corner, color coded or not, that represents the quadrant would be cool

Thanks. I wish I could have made the glow bigger, but then it would have run off the edge. Also it seems the non nav MFTs have a bigger compas. On the nav versions it is much smaller, or at least it appears that way in some pics I have seen on here. When I updated the template earlier today I included both sizes just in case.

Feta_mgp I tried playing around with one like that, but at times there was so much on screen it was hard to tell what the icon was, particularly in the entertainment quad. Nav and climate were easy (map & thermometer) but for phone I couldn't find anything that looked good, and entertainment was tough too.

For phone there should be some good really simple smartphone outline icons... and my suggestion for music would just be a music note. Either way the current one is awesome and I'll be using it for the time being :D

I think it looks terrific. Really nice job.

To finally answer you, yeah... haha, sadly, it would have been that way sooner if not for work, school, and the girlfriend. I'm pretty far behind the majority of my friends who have the game who don't have jobs or a girlfriend who demands attention. lol! But it's definitely fantastic and even the co-op multiplayer is a lot of fun, it actually will impact your single player campaign too so it's worth investing some time in.

Im not thrilled with it, particularly the phone icon. Also when your listening to the radio the entertainment quad doesn't look great.

Nothing too complicated, but for those people that just want a splash of color:



















They should all blend in with the color scheme.
