Title: Date displays incorrectly.
Post by: mosta on December 15, 2007, 05:09:11 PM
I'm a recent convert on my Toshiba Gigabeat F40 and I have the theme Yellow Jacket. It looks great, the only thing is that the top left corner is supposed to be day and date. Eg, "Tue, Feb 13". Well mine is using letters to fill in the date for some reason: "Sat, b dc". Any ideas how to fix this (for a willing novice)? (It stays [day]"b, dc" for any day.)

The problem is that the wps is old, and the wps tags have changed since the theme was written.

To fix it you will have to edit the .wps file a bit (it's in .rockbox/wps/"themename".wps).
Find the tags that should show the date, probably %b and %dc, and replace them with the new tags for date that you can find in the manual (http://download.rockbox.org/manual/rockbox-gigabeatf/rockbox-build.html), under WPS tags.
