A little backstory: I used to have an iRiver H3x0, which died a while back. I've been slumming it with a non-Rockbox player since then, but I recently ordered an iPod Photo, and (having seen some new functionality available) thought I'd update
my previous WPS. That arrived dead, and I'm getting an iPod Video instead, so I ported my new theme to the larger screen. I'm not planning on posting it to the theme gallery until it's been tested on an actual player rather than just the simulator, but in the mean time, I thought this would be an excellent opportunity to get some feedback before it's made properly available.
The play / pause etc icons come from RockBoxed, but other than that it's all my own work.
The status bar shows date and time (respecting both 12 and 24hr settings), HD activity, lock status and battery level. If the hold switch is on, date and time is replaced by more detailed battery information.
The main WPS area contains as much data about the track as possible, including rating data on the 320x240 version. 220x176 uses 75x75 AA; 320x240 uses 120x120 AA.
The footer contains the next track (the currently playing track on menu screens), along with playlist name (or directory name, if there's no active playlist. File position is also added to menu screens.
220x176:
WPS with album art, hold switch off, 24hr clock
WPS without album art, hold switch off, 12hr clock
Menu, hold switch on
320x240:
WPS with album art, no rating, hold switch off, 24hr clock
WPS without album art, track rated 7/10, hold switch off, 12 hour clock
WPS with album art, track rated 6/10, hold switch off, 24 hour clock
Menu, hold switch on
So, any thoughts? What would you change?
Edit: Added extra screenshot to show AA and rating together.
Edit 2:Hrm. It occurs to me that for people who make heavy use of the database (I don't), the directory name is not going to be a very useful fallback for playlist name. Is there any way to pull some appropriate datum from the database? For example, if you've searched for all songs by "John Williams" with the genre "Soundtrack", would you be able to show "John Williams / Soundtrack" on the WPS? Or even just one of those elements?
It looks like the answer is no, but I'd appreciate knowing for sure.
Thanks.
