ONGOING DEFAULT THEME CONTEST!!!
saratoga:
It was not, since I didn't know what you actually changed and I didn't want to compare 300 different files to figure it out. It also didn't help that you modified the non SVN compatible version of the theme, so I couldn't use a SVN's diff to check what was new.
yapper:
All the icons are included, it just looks like the build script isn't using the right ones for your target. I think I'm going to change the script so that all entries in WPSLIST specify exactly which target they refer to. That should resolve the ambiguity here.

Will the volume meter be changed so that, like the default theme, it changes to show the decibels? Because I really think that gives people a LOT more control over volume than just five slots on an icon.

no way.
most themes have 9 volume icons btw...
MaW:
It also doesn't give you any more control over the volume - just finer-grained visual feedback. Actual ability to change it to whatever volume you want is entirely unaffected. Most people probably don't know how the volume system works anyway, and the idea of the volume being measured as a negative number is bound to confuse people.
If this is a default theme for the masses, the graphical volume icon is much more appropriate.
Oh and by the way, it is an utterly awesome theme. I can't wait until trunk has some sort of multifont-like thing, because I think that's the only way you could make this better right now.
Llorean:
Many consumer electronics, especially the more expensive stuff, may measure volume in negative dB. I think it's not so confusing to expose the user to it now. It's a default theme for the masses that use Rockbox. This isn't "everyone mainstream" as they're unlikely to install alternative firmware on their player anyway. We should be safe in assuming people installing Rockbox have some clue.
I really don't like people using "for the masses" as a defense for "dumbing it down." "Graphical volume looks better" is fine, but "People are stupid, don't confuse them" is insulting to our user base even if you wrap it in kinder words. If they can read the manual and install Rockbox, they can figure out our numerical volume, I should imagine.
psycho_maniac:
Actually EVERYTHING in my room uses the negative db effect. My surround sound system, my other receiver, even my cd deck in my car. Rockbox was the first thing that exposed me to this and then i had gotten my other things so now im quite used to it.
