name & address/phone on ipod video

(1/3) > >>

Flippy112:
Is there a EASY way to place your name and address or other personal information on my ipod video 30gb on the rockbox boot screen?

thanks

lights0ut:
There is a program on misticriver here that you can use to switch the boot image of the rockbox.ipod file.

After you get the program you will need 2 things:
1. the original bootsplash (if you're using a current build you can grab the imagefrom svn)
2. The image you want to replace the original, which must be a .bmp (16bit or 24bit will do) I don't the size matters, but it cannot be bigger than 320x240.

good luck with that ;)

On a side note, is there/should there be,  a wiki page for this program? It seems a lot of people would make use of it.

Llorean:
Well, someone could also just implement a patch to load that boot splash from file, instead of compiling it in, and then no program would be needed. Someone went about this a long and complicated way, rather than simply fixing the actual problem (that the boot splash is compiled in rather than themable.)

Wouldn't you too prefer that themes could include different boot splashes each?

ColdSphinx:
I can have a look at this after my final exams (this week).
We already have everything needed to load bitmaps so it shouldn't be very hard.
But if we implement it than is the question should it be a fullscren bitmap or just the current size of the logos?
Because I already heared in a discussion that it shouldn't be fulscreen but there where nothing of external logo files (just about logopatches).

Llorean:
I believe that if Rockbox loads a file from disk for the image, it should be a fullscreen bitmap. This way it allows the user to have whatever they want on the screen, "wherever" they want it (by use of transparency or whitespace) rather easily.

But that's definitely up for discussion, right now the best bet should just be to mirror the existing behaviour, but rather than compiling the image in, load it from /.rockbox/bootsplash or something similar, and preferably be settable via config file.
