New WPS -- "Rocker". Its for those who have an inner musician ;D. I tried to take a unique route for my WPS, hopefully it paid off
iPod Video 320x240

Cool, do I detect that your inspiration was HiPod dark? The only thing I'd complain about is the font is so small, but I suppose that's inline with HiPod. Maybe some minimalist icons or text to tell which line is which would be nice ( song, artist, album). I'm good with the whole alternating sublines, so I would make the playlist position scroll through some info like the time & date, battery time, sleep timer, playlist name etc. Maybe add a line saying what type of file is playing, or a next song dialog.
If you want the time into and time remaining on the same line as the progress bar, put them there in the WPS, and move the %pb tag to a different line. You can specify a y coordinate for the progess bar by doing this
%pb| height | left | right | ypos |
if that didn't make sense check the wiki (http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/CustomWPS#Playlist_Song_Info)

The %m tag is used to define a "margin". To use this tag for the wps you need to be using a patched build of rockbox that has the scrolling margins patch applied to it (which allows the use of the %m tag). While this is a viable option I wouldn't recommend the use of the %m tag on one line of your WPS, you would be cutting off a lot of users from using your WPS, many people like to be up to date with the current build rather than using the (slightly) outdated unsupported builds (granted, they are not that outdated, but any build older than the latest SVN commit is considered old).
Unless you are using an unsupported build to test your WPS, I'd say the %m tag is the cause of your iPod's unresponsiveness.
If you used instead:
%al %pt %ac%pv %ar -%pr
that may work, the spaces will be displayed first, then the time aligned left. Then the volume aligned centre, then the spaces, followed by time remaining aligned right.
(haven't tested this out mind you, so can't say if this will work)

Thanks evilG for your help, I finished the WPS. Sorry I made your posts look irrelevant by deleting my own, I didn't want to create a new thread and get in trouble ;D

Is there any chance that you might convert this WPS to work on the Sansa? I love this WPS!

Im so happy you like it!
I have a sansa myself, so I sure could try but the screen is much smaller. I am not sure how well I could do it!

If you look at it, the screen is very much centered to begin with, your WPS is almost a "portrait" WPS to start, so porting to the sansa shouldn't be much of an obstacle.

I couldn't get the "[song] of [songs]" higher because of the fontheight and the hold-image.
So thist time I resized by cutting, not transform :) looks better

Let me summarize, this theme is currently aviable as:
320x240 : iPod Video & Gigabeat
220x176 : Sansa e200, iPod Color/Photo & iriver H300
160x128 : iAudio X5 & iriver H10 20GB
:D *cheer*
-
Haha thats awesome! Thanks for supporting me ;D!
-
Could you port this to the iPod Nano? ::)
-
I'm working on porting this for my iPod nano, will release the port here if I get |2eM!x's permission.
-
Awesome! Go for the port man ;D
-
Really like this, very minimalist 8-)
-
I submitted the port to rockbox-themes.org, still trying to figure out how to submit to the wiki :P
-
thats is sweet, please please if you ever have the time please port your design to the gigabeat i'm in dire need of a pleasant dark themed layout for my gigabeat.
-
Hey, i have made a version of this theme for my own personal use on the gigabeat. I wonder if the original creator of the theme would like me to submit it to the wps-themes page or not. I won't do anything with it without permission. Its basically the same as the Ipod version, except it has space on the top and bottom, i suppose you can see that in the screenshots though...
Great work with this theme!
