First shot at custom theme

[ayce]

Hey guys, just started using rockbox about a week ago and love it.. some of the themes got me inspired to create my own so tell me what you think of this concept please. Thanks

Sweet!  

This is definitely one of the more original themes I've seen. Keep going!

It looks like some sort of futuristic dashboard, cool
good luck with this.

looks very cool, its the goggles of a fighter pilot in a sci-fi movie, surely.

Hey hey! That's a theme worth having - let us know when the concept's a reality

I'm really excited v1 is doneee, im suprised how easy this was to pick up on.. howeverrrr I do have one problem. It runs on an older build fine (april 20th) but it defaults on the newest build for ipod 5g. I followed the coding tutorial the best i could so I'm not sure where I went wrong. Anyone? Thanks in advanced and it will be up as soon as I can

i don't know too much about it, but the real time clock\date code has changed

i've also heard  that a lot of little things that slipped through before now cause a theme to fail, so double check the code for spaces where they shoudln't be and missing characters

ayce, the WPS parser is now strickter, it will not run a theme if there are errors in it. For example unclosed conditionals.
before this would be ok
%?it<%it|

it would show the title and then nothing if there was no title, but now since there is no > at the end the wps parser throws an error.

You can debug wps's with the simulator by doing this through the command line

rockboxui.exe --debugwps

rasher's rockbox site has some simulators of the standard build you can use. If all else fails, I could offer my help, pm me with the .wps and I can debug it for you.

Also, if you haven't read the thread about licensing, I'd suggest that you license your theme. I think Creative Commons by Share Alike 3.0 is good, but you can choose any license you want.

thanks

It would make me so happy if you could make that for a Nano.

markshelfer, no promises but once this theme is up for the 5g and I have the time i'll try to work on a remake for the nano
