I've been trying to edit the SVG to my liking, but failing a little.

I've attatched a quick mock up of how i'd like to have it.

It is a 440px x 190px widget i want.

The red lines are where i would like the button press areas to be, because i find just having the + and - part of the widget as buttons makes it abit small (i'm not using the full screen version).

As you can see, all i want it to show, is the power on/off button in the middle, the frequency at the top, and +/- symbols.

I don't know if it would be a problem, but as you can see, my button press area outlines overlap on the frequency text, but this is how i'd like it, as to give me a bigger area to press and less room for error.

What is a good SVG editor for me to use to make this myself?

Put it in /home/user/MyDocs . . . make sure the name is rds.svg

Under windows put it in the root that opens up when connect the phone to the computer.

It looks very nice, although to big for me. Good job.
If you want to make the buttons as you mentioned in the previous post, you need to make(i assume you work with illustrator or photoshop) a layer of the button icon AND the hitting area.
So copy the background with it and merge the icon + the background. This is the way to create a bigger hittable button.

PS: Dit is mijn club From Ajax? bit cheesy eh :P =3

i was thinking of collecting some of the skins and adding screenshts to first post with files attached to make this thread a little friendlier, with your permission of course?

and while i'm here anyone fancy doing a super simple skin? 3 buttons, vertical, full height about thumb width, on/off button, + button, and skip track button (if that command has been integrated yet) with status of rds indicated through white or green on said buttons. my artistic skills are as poor as my coding ones!

You have my permission:cool:

Buttons are with a invisible background yet. Now I like to have the font-size a little larger . . .

And yes Ajax, because they're playing Champions League again since a while, 5 years. ;)

Invisible background works? Ive done that too but illustroator wont see it as a vector, it just removes the invisible background....

Yes, anyone know how to make the Frequency font bigger?

So those invisible backgrounds dont work? try splitting op those layers in 3 parts with the icons merged to the background. That 'll do the trick(worked for me)
Frequency font is , i think, setted in the code. Ask BabelO, i think he knows the awnser

@BabelO
Are you able to let us know how to alter the frequency font. I can barely see it whilst driving along and I'd love to be able to have it displayed quite large.
