Configure the background

Place the image you want to be a background in the theme directory and edit the theme.xml file to point to it. Or you can name the file BG_Frame.jpg and overwrite the existing file in the theme directory.

Added chassis, motors, scales, makes, etc. to the edit racers page popup menu's

For the chassis, motor, scale and class popup menus edit the raceparts.xml file in the application directory

For the make and model popup menus use the Edit Make/Model? button on the Config. page.

Change sound effects

Most of the sound effects are now driven by the built in text to speech engine for Windows or Mac OS X. Two sound effects defined in the theme.xml file located in the main program directory are still used. The entry S_Countdown0 should point the name of the wav file for the start race sound effect. The entry S_CarLapBeep should point to the sound effect for the wav file played when a new lap is detected. The files need to be stored in the theme directory.

Change the report logo

On the Config. page of the application select a different club logo image.

Change the report appearance

You can change any part of the look of the generated reports. The reports are generated using an XML file containing the data and an XSL file that defines how the data is displayed. If you edit the XSL file race.xsl in the reports directory you can modify the appearance. This file will be applied to any new reports you generate. Existing reports will not be changed until you regeneratet them.

Change the logo on the Main and Race Config. application screens

To change the log on the main and race settings screens you must create both a image and an image mask and place them in the theme directory. The mask defines the transparency of the image. Edit the theme.xml mainlogo and mainlogomask entries to point to your new images.

Change the color of the text used for racers on the Select Racer and Race screens

To change the color of the text used for racers on the Select Racer and Race screens all you need to do is go to the select racers screen and click the text with your mouse. A window should pop up allowing you to change the color of text on the screen.
