here is my dashboard, it is for my supercharged mk2 golf.
i've made a background with the round borders of the gauges and some custom text, i've used custom fonts, and from there the rest was easy.

use it on 1024x768 fullscreen mode in tunerstudio :), i've made it for my 7" tft display.

here you have it :) the archive contains the background image, custom fonts, and the *.dash file.

Yeah, that's a nice one!
I have 2 regular number gauges with colour. (Green, Yellow and Red for the different areas where I feel it's ok under boost).
If one is green, the other should be as well :P

I've been revamping the dash for a while now, as I'm planning to put a tablet PC in my car as the dash...latest screen cap & dash file below...It's got some weird issues with output channels, so YMMV.

I liked the Slimfull that much I downloaded it and tweaked it a bit more for my use

I've done some changes to the Slimfull dashboard too. Here's te result :

I like the three histograms. Really useful when tuning idle, boost and EGO control.

Here is my "work in progress" dashboard. The colors still need some work, but I'm happy with the info presented.

I just got signed up for the forum but have been browsing for years. I've had a MegaSquirt on my Buick since 2009, and on my Thunderbird I think in 2008.

I've contemplated going to a digital dash on my '77 Skylark behind the stock dash cluster trim. This is just playing around against the laptop screen.

Now that, sir, is awesome! Would you try to find an lcd with the right size to fit behind the gauges? And run it as a primary or secondary monitor?

Would be cool if TS could support a second screen. Then you could have the static gauges on the second monitor and still tune with the primary screen 8)
