new default theme concept.
denny:
Hi everyone.
I'm interested in taking on the challenge of creating a new default WPS for rockbox and so far I have come up with this:
*EDIT* see later posts for more up to date versions.
Its based off of a theme I completed for the 220x176 (h300, ipod 4g) targets, DGT. This layout was chosen as it seems easy to port to all the different targets.
I would just like some feedback on the concept above (anything at all). At present the only icons are for the battery and I would like to keep it that way on most targets so that it is as minimal as possible, and quick to load. Shuffle and repeat status are shown on the bottom highlight line in text. The backdrop is not set and the one here is just a quickly thrown together one, though it looks quite nice...
Cheers,
Denny.

*edit: changes to be made*
'of' to be replaced by '/'
add clock on top line
add virtual HD light

Nice. I'm a big supporter of a clean display with a good sized font (I'd rather have less info but easier to read as a tradeoff). This fits the bill nicely.
My only (small) suggestion from a quick look is that I don't care for the volume in the middle of the progress area. It would seem more consistant to have it either at the top or the bottom.
denny:
Yeah, I'm definitely aiming for less clutter and a large font and have toyed with the idea of swapping the position of the shuffle and repeat status (from the bottom) with the volume in the middle. Might take another look at that. Thanks for your input.

I'm not absolutely sure but i think the "of" between the number of the current song and the numer of all songs isn't good because of the multilingual support of rockbox
and i would like a unique backdrop which is perfectly useable for all targets. one which looks good in color, and for the greyscale targets in grey, so that the only devices without a backdrop are the mono ones.
and one other thing
i personally don't care about the next song info so i would like to see some other information on this line
but the tiny batterysymbol looks really good and the progressbar also :)
denny:
Ah, good point about the 'of'. That was part of the code stolen from my other wps. It will be replaced with a slash.
The backdrop will most likely be blank on greyscale targets, or very minimal, to improve clarity, and I'll probably create a similar but improved backdrop for the colour targets.
The next track line is one that I will not sacrifice as it seems to be a fairly commonly used feature and is one that I personally like alot.
Thanks for the input :)
