ONGOING DEFAULT THEME CONTEST!!!
weirdal:
try a starwars theme one with a lightsaber as the time bar
Llorean:
Now see, that wouldn't be suitable as a Rockbox theme.
Star Wars is someone else's intellectual property, as well as the fact that while I said it doesn't have to be Rockbox related, it should at least not have nothing to do with Rockbox (for example, a generic theme that doesn't say Rockbox anywhere, like the current default but with nicer features, would be fine, but a New Orleans Saints theme would be somewhat inappropriate).

Rockboxed is one of the few that covers all targets, but some of us felt it's a bit garish, some of us felt it doesn't really "show off" Rockbox (it's still pretty much a basic text theme), and others liked it just fine. But there wasn't really a solid agreement.

I know this topic is not a poll, but what about the "Cabbie" theme for Rockbox default? I think this theme fits nice in the purpose. I like it.

While I do like the cabbie theme, I still see it as a very basic theme, it is better than the default, but like Llorean is pointing out we need something that shows off rockbox on the newer targets (iPod's, Gigabeats, nanos, and sansa) but can still have a presence on the older less flashy targets. This is definitely something I'm considering taking a shot at after school finishes; really excited to see how this all turns out.
Llorean:
I will say that I'm personally *very* fond of the Cabbie theme. It doesn't "show off" (looking mainly like text) but it does a good job of showing a bit of style while staying simple. There are definitely a few of us who feel very strongly that simplicity is important.
One thing I personally don't like, I'll admit (in general) are themes that have a Play, a Fast Forward, and a Rewind button as separate buttons hogging a bunch of space. Since you can't really do more than one of those at once, at most (in my own personal opinion) you really only need a single indicator (and to me personally even that's overkill: I find it fairly unlikely someone doesn't know what button they're holding down, with the exception of pause which is a toggle).
So keep that in mind, perhaps, because "clutter" is definitely the opposite of simplicity, and I do have a vote in this (though really what we're going for is consensus and if everyone but me agrees on something, I'll have no choice but to accept it, it's not like I'm stuck using the default anyway, eh? ;))
JdGordon:
pretty much in agreement with Llorean there... except I have a gripe with the cabie theme...
If you must put the rockbox logo on the screen... make sure its the correct one!
