Hi Hermann,
Wow that's quite an extensive page that you have there!
For years we have been tossing configs, icons, and layouts in the wiki but this is hardly maintainable so I have been working toward a better solution.
Ideally, we should be able to download extra osd or map layouts that match your device's resolution directly from Navit. We're not quite there yet but I think it should not be too difficult.
To allow this, the best way IMO is to have a way to package extra ressources in a comprehensive manner. One (not the ultimate, but a proposed approach ) is to package the ressources in a github repository for example.
This allows us to :
- fork easily ( if you just want to tweak the work from someone else )
- test easily ( we can build automated screenshots of how the layout / OSD will look like )
- package easily ( we can build a zip, or any kind of archive automatically )
- deploy easily ( navit can poll the available archives )
This is not perfect, as it requires people to use a versioning tool. But in my opinion, using the wiki for that is hardly better.
As an example, here is an automated screenshot built for my own layout + OSD :
(you can see a small defect on the "3D" icon, i need to convert it )
The generation of the previous screenshot is fully automated, including generating another screenshot where no route is set.
As an example, I have started moving the OSD of Urfin78 here :

IRC and we can do it together, until we have some documentation in the wiki.
