CarBox is a front-end application, designed for use in a Carputer. Its primary aim is to make it easy to play music, videos, and have satellite navigation in your car.
Support for Windows Media Player 9.0 (for Music and Video). Support for Destinator 2.0 (for GPS Navigation). Can embed GPS application of your choosing within the CarBox window, so alt-tab is not required. Fully resumes play after hibernate/restart (windows must be configured) Select a directory subtree to replace, or add to current playlist. Allows for queuing up as much music as you need for your journey! Search facility, to find individual songs/movies, or full albums. Fully skinnable. Patience required! Scalable skins, so you can view them at any screen resolution. Run-time switchable skins, for example day/night skins. Option to embed GPS application in Visualisation screen. Small, but handy. Option to startup GPS application when CarBox starts. Ability to embed multiple applications, as required. Gamma correction, for adjusting brightness for night mode. Configurable Keyboard Controls - Mean a remote control can be used, eg with Girder. Integrated clock. Woot! Possibly other things which I've forgotten about/deemed unimportant.
