ONGOING DEFAULT THEME CONTEST!!!

[ZincAlloy]

everybody should try it for a day before we meet a decision. It's a matter of feel that needs to be experienced in everyday situations

I just renamed and uploaded the c200 version. Remember that these new renamed versions will always need thorough bug testing!

[Yotto]

I'm not officially involved in this, but I'll always offer my opinion. I always put it Track, Artist, Album. If I used a WPS that someone else made that was different, I'd probably change it.

Here's a thought: Make sure it's easily changeable (It is right now, each just sits on a single line), and that could be the first "WPS tutorial"

wps tutorial...... nice idea......

Track, Artist, Album seems to be a common choice. Does this also make sense for audiobooks?

[Llorean]

Audiobooks make more sense as Track, Album, Artist (assuming "Track" has useful data, people split audiobooks in strange ways). But due to the haphazard possibilities tagging audiobooks, and the wide range from "1 file per book" to "1 file per chapter" to "1 file per 5 minutes", naming beyond "Artist" and "Album" is often inconsistent anyway.

I'd say not to worry about them too much in this case, and stick with Track, Artist, Album

[ZincAlloy]

Ok. Nobody seems to like it as it is. We'll change it.

I've actually had the idea since this thread began. Take the new default WPS and document how to make changes to it. Start simple (Like modify track/album/artist) and move up to more advanced topics until you're making your own WPS, but always start with the default WPS that a new user is probably using anyway.

[crzyboyster]

So now it's decided? It will be track, artist, album for all ports? I'll modify as many as I can...

What text needs to go in the "header" of the .wps file? Currently I have:

Code: [Select]

# cabbie 2.0 default
# 160*128 greyscale port by Mark Fawcus (yapper)
# works with 64*64 album art if present
# (C) 2007, Johannes Voggenthaler (Zinc Alloy)
# derived from "cabbie" (C) Yohann Misquittaand I'm not sure if it's correct/acceptable ...

And what is the 'official' name? Cabbie 2.0?

[ZincAlloy]

looks good to me.
I called it Cabbie 2.0 default - 2.1 would have been more appropriate, though

I agree, like the default display in Rhythmbox, but pity DAP screens arent wide enough

[MaW]

In the absence of that, I'd also agree with

Track
Artist
Album

It's a bit of least-surprise for people used to other firmwares too. At least there's a path for people who want a different order to have it the way they like with Rockbox

I've been using Cabbie 2.0 default on my iPod Video for a few weeks now, and I really like it graphically. The font's not brilliant, but that's been done to death already and I know getting decent fonts isn't easy for this sort of display.

Ideally it could do with some multifont love on the WPS, but obviously we can't have that until some sort of multifontish system is in trunk.

is anybody currently working on this: http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/FontSystemProposal ?
