ONGOING DEFAULT THEME CONTEST!!!

[crzyboyster]

We need to optimize the repeat icons because I just looked in your original h300 version and I can't even tell the difference between each! I think that that's the next optimization needed. Do you agree?

[ZincAlloy]

I can tell the difference, but it ain't easy. for most targets it was on the to do list (fix play mode icons...) should have said "fix repeat mode icons" in my opinion...
I've updated the ones for the sansa e200 and h10 5 gb already. we should do this for every target individually, for the space between the pointers varies and and should be used as efficiently as possible.

[crzyboyster]

I'm going to make a new check/x thing on the wiki for all of the themes that need clearer repeat icons.

EDIT: added it to the wiki. ZincAlloy: do you want to actually do it?

[ZincAlloy]

just updated the h300 version

[crzyboyster]

I just added the better repeat icons to the nano and x5/h10 versions. I'm going to finish up the c200 version, but I need to know which font to use.

does this one look better?:


or this one?:


(the only difference is supposed to be the font, so just judge the font).

Also, can you look at my repeat icons real quick and tell me if they're ok?

pixelma: whatever happened to your archos version?

If I couldd make a suggestion for the 138 x 110 - 2 bit greyscale (iPod Mini) version:  Put all of the the next track info on one line so the screen isn't packed with text (i.e. Next: Song Title).  

Retail value: 2cents.

Or put "Next" as part of the background graphic like I did for the iPod 1G2G port.

[ZincAlloy]

I think it's better if we leave it  as is. A "next" bar would need a seperate graphic in this case.
putting "next:" in a line with the next track info is inappropriate here because the line is very short, which means more scrolling. Having the "next track:"text in a seperate line avoids this, though it looks a bit more cluttered.

crzy, if nobody has an opinion on the font use helvR for uniformity.

I've been fixing up the c200 version but I'm not able to draw "AB" into the ab repeat icon.

ZincAlloy: The icon is attached in png format. Can you fix it up?

[ZincAlloy]

sure.

[crzyboyster]

I've been doing the c200 unifont version but squeezing all 3 lines of info is impossible. I can only do what's in the screendump. Any ideas on whether or not to minimize the info or use alternating sublines?

[yapper]

I'd probably go for reducing the info, as alternating sublines would take a long time to scroll around. But it's not a clear cut choice (I like to know what's coming next, so dropping that would bother me too)

[crzyboyster]

ZincAlloy or others: what do you guys think? which one should take priority?

[ZincAlloy]

no idea. something HAS to be compromised here. just do what feels best.

Hey guys.

Has anyone considered using the acknowledge-12 font? It is very versatile, and can be used in different platforms
