Support and General Use > Theming and Appearance Customization
new default theme concept.

I'm likewise a fan of clean, easy to read, themes. Likewise a slightly larger font would make it even better. Have you tested it for readability in the sun?
It's clear and already gives the user the requisite information they need: name of song, time elapsed, time left etc.
Increase the default screen dim out time and it will make a huge difference--it looks like a mp3 display.
Great job.
You'll never be able to please everyone. I like the next song info while perfectdrug doesn't. We need a basic set. Perhaps you might include instructions for customization?
Again if the average user loads Rockbox and up comes your theme, it's something approachable.

Thanks for the complements :).
It is yet to be tested outside, but that will come into what the backdrop ends up looking like. I had thought about using a larger size 14 font but as a trade off ended up with size 12. Targets with larger screens will have much larger fonts.

Gotta agree with what is being said here, I'm also a fan of a clear, concise layout and this is what you have accomplished here. It does look very portable so i hope you have an easy time with that, one thought though, maybe you could add the time for RTC targets? (just hrs and min), and maybe a bit larger progress bar would be nice.
I like how you came up with a WPS that suites any backdrop, gives the user a chance to try out some quick and easy customizations. Maybe you could include 3 or 4 different backdrops that look good just to try out.
Nice work, keep it up ;)

I'll try out a clock on the top highlighted line. hadn't thought about that, thanks!. Initially i had a large glass type progress bar but the minimal single pixel one seemed to be just as easy to see and took up less room.
I don't know what the rules are on multiple backdrops in daily builds. I think it would be considered as bloating so may not be possible.
Thanks :)
Yotto:
I like the theme as well. My only nitpick is that the battery at the very top appears out of place Instead of being over the %, I'd put it to the right of it. Saves a line too.
As to the multiple backdrop, I'd add a readme text file with easy changes you can make. Not everybody will ever see it, but the curious will (I would have :) )
