Are the themes actually on your iPod?  Are they located in the correct directory structure?  

Do you mean you can't find the fonts on your iPod?

did you extract the WPS to ".rockbox" on the ipod?

But you didn't tell where "everywhere" is and where exactly you looked. Also, posting in the right forum might help. The manual tells you where to find all needed downloads. I strongly suggest reading it.

The theme needs to be extracted so that the files will be present in subdirectories of the .rockbox folder. I.e. if your theme is named "foo" you should get a file /.rockbox/themes/foo.cfg, a file /.rockbox/wps/foo.wps and a folder /.rockbox/wps/foo/. Depending on the theme there might be additional data in other folders. Themes are supposed to get packaged that way that you can simply extract the archive to the root of your player. Of course it's possible that your theme is broken regarding that packaging aspect.

If your themes work such as the backdrop and colors but you get the default wps(while playing screen) then you have the same problem I did. You have to install an older version for some of the themes to work. I read there was a recent update that doesn't support some themes (please correct me if I'm wrong). For that I installed a build from April (25th) and Ajant Blue works for me because of it. Hope this helps!! - ayce

It's not that the update doesn't support the themes.

The themes are BROKEN. The errors are minor enough that they used to work with old builds, but they're technically incorrect. Newer builds of Rockbox refuse to load invalid themes, so the themes themselves need to be fixed.

Thanks Llorean for correcting me.. Not to jump off topic but for some reason my rockbox runs slowly or "sluggish" and will, at times, take 30 seconds to switch songs after pressing next.. any ideas?
