Is there any way a vector format could be used (svg etc)? I'm guessing your going to do something like a masking image with a transparent silhouette on a given coloured background, then overlayed with a semi transparent detail layer? A stack of PNGs would do the trick.<br><br>I'm also interested if the car configuration (including images), supported features etc could be expressed in a bundle of configuration files rather than code/static resources?<br><br>Chris<br><br> <br><blockquote type="cite">Can you hold a few weeks for this? I am working on the Apps to re-work how we do the vehicle images. They are just too large (13MB+ already!), so I am working on a better way of handling the multiple colours and making it easier to add them to the Apps. Once I have this working, I'll let you know what format we need the images in.<br><br>Regards, Mark.<br><br><br></blockquote><br>_______________________________________________<br>OvmsDev mailing list<br><a href="mailto:OvmsDev@lists.teslaclub.hk">OvmsDev@lists.teslaclub.hk</a><br><a href="http://lists.teslaclub.hk/mailman/listinfo/ovmsdev">http://lists.teslaclub.hk/mailman/listinfo/ovmsdev</a><br></blockquote></div><br></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><span>_______________________________________________</span><br><span>OvmsDev mailing list</span><br><span><a href="mailto:OvmsDev@lists.teslaclub.hk">OvmsDev@lists.teslaclub.hk</a></span><br><span><a href="http://lists.teslaclub.hk/mailman/listinfo/ovmsdev">http://lists.teslaclub.hk/mailman/listinfo/ovmsdev</a></span><br></blockquote></div>_______________________________________________<br>OvmsDev mailing list<br><a href="mailto:OvmsDev@lists.teslaclub.hk">OvmsDev@lists.teslaclub.hk</a><br>http://lists.teslaclub.hk/mailman/listinfo/ovmsdev<br></blockquote></div><br></div></body></html>
