ONGOING DEFAULT THEME CONTEST!!!
terrence1019:
karashata, I can make a recommendation to use the shuffle and repeat icons from this theme:
http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/WpsIpod5g#Escape_Pod_Plus
I say, just do your magic, and paint them gold. Modify the size to suit ;)
karashata:
I can think of a couple reasons why not to use those icons...
1. The shuffle icon for that theme is the image I use to represent crossfade (since in my opinion it resembles one track being faded out while the other is being faded in, rather than tracks being shuffled...)
2. There's no way I could scale those down to the smaller targets, keeping the graphics aliased (I hate anti-aliasing small images on small screens) and still resembling those images.
I will try to come up with something that will fit the smallest screened colour target (the c200) and work up from there, I think I'll adjust the repeat and crossfade images some so that the mode indicator doesn't cover the rest of the icon (though I'm not sure how that will fit... We'll see what I can do...)
EDIT: I've made some changes to the icons, I'm posting screen shots (from the c200) here to get some opinions on the changes before I go through with it. I'm not the happiest with these over the old ones, but space is limited and I did the best I could with it.

Hey! Now that looks good! :D
Don't want to make it a chore, but just make the circle for the repeat-all icon a little thinner, as opposed to how bold and thick it looks.

I would also like to see the 128x64 cabbiev2 port more "complete" as there are also some possible future targets (like the ifp or the Logik Dax) which would have such a screen as main screen. Since viewports there is no need to place everything line wise and so I came up with the following two:
These are just mockups with the use of the 112x64 graphics (already slightly edited) but you'll get the idea. I think it is possible to use the complete screen up to the border of what is seen in the sim because on monochrome/greyscale displays you have some "spacing" through the display, the used area is not starting right at the border of the casing. This is what the slightly darker border around the actual screen should show in the mockup. What do you think - and which one of the two would be nicer? (I prefer the right variant a tad bit but like to know other opinions before investing more time.)
And my other question/suggestion was related to showing remote hold. As said earlier in the thread I'd like a way to see this information here's my idea, taking the biggest graphics:
That is from top: main hold, no hold, remote hold (only) and both parts on hold. This way nothing would change for those who don't use the remote. Of course this would need adapting to smaller screens and other colour depths but I'd try, maybe it needs character on the very small screens

I like the left hand one. Why does a WPS need a banner saying 'now playing' when it's obviously playing and displays play/pause symbols anyway? I think it's a waste of space adding it in.
@karashata
I suggest 'Bliss' as a name for your theme as it has Blue elements and incorporates Rockbox philosophy

I'll fiddle with the graphics a bit and thin those out, see how it looks...

I think I like that, so I'll swap that in place of "Modern".
Work on the H300 and other same-size platforms is on hold while I redo the status icons, once I've gotten those finalized I'll continue porting the theme. Thanks to everyone so far who have helped me get this going!
EDIT: New status icons, screen shots below. Tell me what you think!
