phkAMP: New 3D Theme (FInished)
« on: July 22, 2007, 12:41:54 AM »
[EDIT] Updated screenshot





♪
This is the new theme I'm working, based on a guitar amp, or something vintage...

For Disk Activity a tube will flash "warm" behind the silver plate.

I'm thinking in something like a front of a speaker cabinet for the backdrop image.

Any other suggestions?

I don't say this often, but that is so cool.

LOL, soap!!!

I really like this one too.  I'll have to put this on my 5g iPod when I get it running.  Nice work!

Nice (although I'm something of minimalist myself).

How do the "Hold" and "Shuffle" buttons work? For most of the physical switches I've seen, up==off and down=on, but the light on "Shuffle" in the example looks like it's on. Is it a case of "towards the label" is on? If so, seems a bit inconsistent.

Very clear otherwise - I like the fact that graphics are backed up with a nice unambiguous label, and it "feels" good.

Not sure what you mean by backdrop? You mean for non-wps screens, or something additional to the WPS? (which would be gilding the lily IMO)

That is one of the best looking WPS screens I've ever seen.

Super hot! A tweed "salt and pepper" marshall grille cloth would rule as a backdrop.

Thanks for all the repplies. I have been busy, but I'll finish the theme this week.

@auto123: Sorry, but I think the Sansa screen size is not enough to display a good definition for this theme. Maybe I'll try to make a modified version for players with smaller screens.

seani, the physical switches in vertical position generally works OFF=Down an ON=UP. And on horizontal position works OFF=Left and ON=Right.

I think that is the convention for mechanical switches.  I am certainly not familiar with many cases of toggle switches oriented so that down==ON.

This appears to be true in the US, but isn't the case here in the UK.

Down is definitely On here, and Up is off.

Huh.  That's very interesting.  I wonder how unique that is to the UK.  I just checked and the electronics we have here from Britain do indeed have their switches oriented as you say.  However, Italy (and I believe France) appears to follow the same convention as the US.

In any case, it wouldn't be too hard for the end user to change the WPS code to make the switches operate in either fashion (since it only involves swapping references to images, not changes to the background image).

Ah, Ok. You learn something new every day :-) looks like it's a US/Uk thing

I guess it's because it's harder to knock something upwards by mistake.

That would be perfect!. I think I'll try the gigabeat landscape patch myself and give it a spin.
