Title: Can't get theme to work on ipod 4th gen / grayscale version
Post by: rockboxiscool on June 22, 2019, 08:17:12 PM

I installed the themes downloaded from this site and tried to install them when I load the skin, the font is off and misaligned. I have 2 ipod 4th gen ipods doing the same thing. I tried the most popular themes from descending order. I drag the files into their respected folders. What am I doing wrong?


Edit: I Found that only themes that come with backdrops work. I only found two that actually worked on my ipod. the rest do not work.

Do you have the font pack installed?

It should come with the download package right? I put everything from the download into rockbox folder. I noticed that every theme that i downloaded that didnt' have a backdrop folder inside would mess up when i apply the theme. Only the ones with backdrop works flawlessly.

The font pack does not come with the theme if that is what you are asking.  You can get it from the "extras" link on the left side of the screen, or from rockbox utility.

Yeah that worked at least for the themes that I want. Thanks.
