ONGOING DEFAULT THEME CONTEST!!!
lazka:
imho the color of volume indicator should be more like the dark grey used for deactivated icons...
i can hardly tell what the volume is on my sansa because it mixes up with the yellow.
ZincAlloy:
good idea, I will fix the volume icons. I will have to make new ones anyway - 8 at least according to the wiki.
Iriver rwps is working now. Thank you, Llorean!

I too agree that the font could be a bit heavier and I'd also like a font that comes in different sizes to adapt to different screens a bit better. Personally I'm in favour of the Nimbus font family as there is a Nimbus-12 which would make replacing the currently used font on most screens quite easy, Nimbus-10 is nice on my c200 and I found Nimbus-19 on a Video suitable too. Unfortunately it does not have asian characters but at least all of them have accented characters, greek, cyrillic and hebrew (see UnicodeFonts).

It depends on the font you find but most of them need a bit of editing for a nice result as you can't taka a clean convert for granted. So if you also want different sizes of the same font this probably means quite a bit of work unless we get very lucky and find one that just works, just in my experience though.

You should use the %x (lowercase!) for loading bitmaps statically, this is less code and cleaner. And I think the progressbar should have a "frame" like the standard progress bar would have - you could also make this frame a statical bitmap and the progress bar bitmap would be made of the "innards".
Speaking of monochrome WPS...

--- End quote ---
Actually I didn't want to but somehow I got an idea so I'll probably look into making the Archos version - guess I'm the only one lurking around here that has the possibility to test on target (and it will definitely look different from the sim) and already did some WPS for it, too.
By the way: there is a small H10 version, which reminds me... Looking at the collection of the WPS in the wiki, I get the impression that there are tiny differences in the yellowish that's used in the different colour screen themes, especially when I look at the Gigabeat version. The latter also has the shadow of the now playing bar in the lower left direction, all the others are to the (as far as I know) more natural lower right - will leave a note in the wiki too.
Edit: I remember now...it was about the number of volume indicator bitmaps. I'm all for grainier but would make the actual number dependent on the width of the icon (e.g. if it is 16 pixels wide in on screen, you could easily make it 9 different steps, starting with "all zero" - or 8 if that's not wanted). Something between 5 and 10 would be nice.
P.S.: Sorry for lengthy post. 8-)
ZincAlloy:
cool, now the rwps is working as intended! Thank you very much! Didn't know about statical bitmaps yet.
A new version is up now.
I didn't notice the shadow was wrong - my bad. I gave Keith the file.
Keith, you'll get an updated version with a correct shadow and a better proportioned logo later today.
I can't explain why there are differences in the yellow. I had the impression as well. It seems they come out differently at larger resolutions.
pixelma, there's no need to be sorry. quite the contrary. Thank you for this very helpful post.
Great to hear you're taking on the Archos task. This leaves only the ipod mini portless, but we cannot start to port without having decided which greyscale bar and icon design to use.

You may be right, probably it's only a "human eye and brain" effects. The same colours will seem different (1) in different quantities (like a wall compared to a small sample) and (2) with different colours in the surrounding (even the slight gradient in the background could be important).
I think that's ok then, just wanted it to be checked.
