I don't think we need a new thread for this. Imho discussion will be easier with only one thread to follow.




introduced two new icons:



basically they're the old icons treated the same way as the progress bar background. opacity is set to 44%.

Thanks for the fixed graphics ZincAlloy. Is there any way you could also provide me with larger status icons, as previously suggested. I'm not that great with Photoshop or I'd do it myself. Thanks again. I'm also thinking of making the next version with larger fonts. Could anyone give me an idea of which one to use?

You could try to use helvr12, which is a larger version of the one we're currently using.

you can find all the original graphics here: http://www.naturalbornyoers.com/forumpics/cabbie2graphics.zip

simply drag and drop the icons (or even folders of iconsets) from the icons.psd to your gigabeat.psd file and resize them until they fit to make a layout.

I'm afraid you won't be able to make them much better, though.

If you don't get it working with photoshop you might be able to use the icons from the unfinished ipod video port I've started (http://www.naturalbornyoers.com/forumpics/cabbiedefipodvid.zip)

ZincAlloy, the new icons thing is not a good idea because in order "to keep the same feel of the theme on all targets", we would all need to reupdate your themes do that it looks like that. I am not willing to do that at all. What do other people think about this? And also, are the new icons included in the .psd for the theme?

...it should look as if it was done by one person in the end (in my opinion).

I agree.  Keeping it uniform is nice.

The suggestion was to also use the wiki page to discuss this and my additional suggestion was to start an own "Cabbie 2.0" thread here. Don't you think?

Using the wiki is a good idea, it would, if used properly, allow information to be organized better.

@ZincAlloy - I like the fade-to-grey icons in place of no-icons, good idea.  I figure once the theme has been adapted to all the players there's going to be a few rounds of combing over to get everything alligned.  (Which won't be any fun and I'm not volunteering.)  :)

I am currently using helvr12, but apparently it still isn't large enough. I'm thinking of using the Unifont font. It's slightly bigger and I don't have to move anything around. Thanks for the icon idea.

in the end it will be worth the effort.

oh, wow. didn't look that large. I would recommend you to try out fonts until you find one that looks good and is easily readable.
or are there larger versions of helvr that we are allowed to use but aren't included in the fonts pack?

check out http://rasher.dk/rockbox/fonts/
there are bigger sizes of helvR fonts as well as bold versions


EDIT: I guess I will have to include the newer icons into the nano port. I will also use 50x50 album art now (more standard).

I added a little discussion area to the wiki for anyone who's interested, and also left To-Do lists next to my contributions.  If anyone takes care of any of the problems, please either delete them from the list or put a check-mark next to them.

Can you guys try to follow the forum guidelines. Specifically the whole posting multiple times in a row thing? They're pretty unambiguous if you go and actually read them, and you agreed to follow them when registering.

Well, I follow the rules, but I think someone like ZincAlloy doesn't!
I'm just kidding! ;D
But seriously, read the rules. The multiple post thing is with pretty much any forum.

Here is the font I picked - Unifont. Do you all think it looks ok? I still need to fix the status icons, which I'm currently working on.

Edit: Nevermind, I found the right helvR14 font, it matches the ones we already use.

In my opinion too much editing is confusing for readers.

If nobody has responded, and you edit your post, and precede the edit by the word "Added:" or "Edit:", the fact that it shows up with (New) next to it in the list, and the obvious notation probably shouldn't confuse anyone.

Either way, we decided to do it this way for a reason, so please abide by our rules.
