ONGOING DEFAULT THEME CONTEST!!!

DancemasterGlenn:
Purely out of curiosity, since I'm under the impression it'll still be a while before we have this in main builds, how will the addition of multifont be able to help out this theme? Different fonts for the players with remote screens come to mind, for starters... has anyone who works on the theme thought much at this point about any uses of this to improve readability and aesthetic appeal, once the patch is finally merged in? I wouldn't actually expect someone to have already been thinking about it, but it came to mind as I was browsing flyspray.

ZincAlloy:
well, we designed everything to use just one font. I don't really think this theme needs to use multiple fonts apart from the remote screens. I'm gonna experiment with it, anyway - just to be sure.

EDIT:

There are hundreds, if not more, of other themes and so many different things about them. Especially in an example like this, where eventually a technical means (the resize patch) will render it a non-issue. It's just a matter of time, more than anything else.

just read the flyspray entry of the bmp resize patch. does anybody know what's keeping this one from being commited?

I just used cabbiev2 on an ipod mini (then checked on an ipod video), and noticed that two of the battery icons seem to be shown switched. Maybe it is just meant to be like that, but for me the icon meanings are:

Battery plugged and charging (not fully charged yet):

Battery plugged and fully charged:

Battery unplugged and "fully" charged:

If this is true, then the first two icons are shown switched or inverted (at least in the ipod mini and video's versions), and since cabbiev2 is the default theme, it would be worth correcting that. If this is not true, it's just me having a weird way of interpreting icons  :) ... I mean, it is like that in different targets... no one said anything before...

ZincAlloy:
you're right... the SHOULD be switched  :o. I never realized that before. The h300 version is the same. I guess most (if not all) ports have need the switch.
A good opportunity to change the %Cl line to official syntax (c is the only modifier that is supposed to be in there) as well.

Showing (graphically) when the battery is fully charged is a great feature cabbiev2 has, and only few other themes have; in fact that's how I noticed; switching those icons will make it just clearer  ;)
