Title: ipod Mini 2g grayscale Theme ipodimproved - need some support
Post by: thias on February 05, 2007, 06:41:53 AM
ATM. I am having problems, registering myself to the wiki, so I can upload my theme.
But I already have some questions about the wps-thing.

I am trying to create a ipod-like theme, as I like it much.
So far, I created a very similar look of the play-window with playback-mode, battery status, Song title, Album name, status-bar and the time remaining/current time in the lower corners.
I will upload some screenshot as soon as I get access to the wiki.

Now, I am not too happy with the font and I wanted to draw my own. That would be very similar to the font used by apple. Does anyone have a suggestion, witch program I could use for this task? I would like to draw the letters pixel by pixel, like it is possible in paint.

Then I have a Problem with the charge-icon. I made a .bmp for that, but it doesnt work. My code for that looks like that:
%?bc<%xdd|%?bl<%xde|%xdf|%xdg|%xdh|%xdi|%xdj|%xdk|%xdl|%xdm|%xdn|%xdo>>
while pic d is the charging-picture, pics e to o are the different load-levels.
Looks right, but doesn't work. When I plug in the charger, the pic doesn't change.

PS: What is the difference between http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/ and http://www.rockbox-themes.org Where should I upload my theme?

If you have registered an account at the Wiki, you have to ask for write access (the IRC channel is a good place to ask) to be able to upload to and edit the wiki.

Hej! I am happy, that someone likes my theme. I had not time to work on it lately and as I have a Harman Kardon Drive+Play Ipod connector in my car, I am not using Rockbox atm. It doesnt work with the connector :(
But I am very curious about your modifikations. Please send it to me: matze_spam@yahoo.de

Don't know if you've figured it out or not yet but the reason the battery charging wasnt giving you an animation was because you werent writing it correctly. You need to use alternating sublines (ex. %t0.5%?bc<%xdd|>;%t0.5%?bc<%xde|> and so on and so forth)
