ONGOING DEFAULT THEME CONTEST!!!
crzyboyster:
OK, we have some serious issues here. I think that the porting effort needs to be stopped (or paused) for a couple of days while all of us can think up of what EVERY port has to have. We are all over the place! We need to finish this up and figure out what information should be displayed and how and what font should be used.
I think that unifont no longer remains an option as it's too small on larger displays and too big on smaller displays. We would also need to redo most of the themes to accomodate this change.
Once this theme is released, however, and made the default, people are welcome to do "remixes" and one can be made using the unifont font.
What do people think about all of this?
zajacattack:
Seems like a good plan. I'm really excited for this new default theme to come out!
ZincAlloy:
If we use fonts that are the same size as the helvR fonts we will have a smooth drop in replacement without the hassle of rearranging everything, right?
karashata:
As long as the pixel heights match up, there shouldn't be any issues with changing fonts, though wider fonts may tighten things up a little under the progress bars, where the time elapsed/remaining and the playlist position on some targets, and possibly later all targets, is.
For the record, the helvR10 font is actually 12 pixels high, so it could be replaced with the nimbus-12 font or any other 12 pixel high font.

I considered this myself but thought maybe I was just getting old. Not feeling super-motivated to do a full re-haul of the thing right now but I'll drop a note on the wiki for whoever has the energy... P.S. There's a lot less empty space when the album art is displayed, but it would still be possible to bump it up to 12.

As for the unicode discussion, I mentionned it before and I'll say it again: I think it would be best to have a unicode font for the default theme. Just because the website is in English doesn't mean that everybody speaks it or uses the same alphabet.
