Dashboard - v1.1

If this software is cool or useful to you, consider a small donation to the programmer! There is *no* need to pay to download and enjoy this software! But it's a lot of work and I do it in my so-called spare time, so a couple of dollars would be really appreciated! :) (Alternately, there's my Amazon Wishlist)

Notes

Since I wrote it specifically for my car, it also has a number of limitations: Runs at 800x600 only Heavy CPU usage Most settings are hard coded Tach and Speedometer are always drawn as full-page left-to-right images Only supports US ISO through the BR16F84 interface IC. I got my box from http://obddiagnostics.com/, and it is the only one I've tested. Limited error recovery. Always starts with KM/H, and WinAmp in shuffle mode Folder BMP objects must be 120x120 pixels Only tested on Windows XP - might work on 2000. Not likely to work on any other. Font sizes, layouts, and colors are hard coded Bitmap filenames are hard coded, but may be changed. The masks must be mono bitmaps, with white representing all colored areas in the related color file (see the provided samples) Mouse is invisible, even if not using touch screen
