LCARS theme (240x320x16)

Chronon:
I eagerly await your submission of this to the wiki.   :)

Hey there, thanks for all the support.  It really means alot and encourages me to work on this some more.  Just a quick update.  I chose a font for the static stuff (courier) and i think it looks quite nice.  It's cleaner, more readable, but the only problem is that it takes up alot of room.  Still haven't chosen a font for the dynamic text, but i guess snap is out considering how much room it takes up.  (i tried it out, but it simply takes up too much space i'm afraid... the font is too wide.)  



It looks so much cleaner with the new font, but the challenge now is trying to find a font that can fit all the info i need into the space available for the frequency, bitrate, etc. etc.  I'll probably end up abreviating some of the longer ones (such as FREQ for FREQUENCY, RATE for BIT RATE, etc. etc.)  but other than that it should be fine.  If I do that, I might be able to use snap after all... we'll see how it works.  I'll continue when I get back from work today.

::EDIT::  
Just a quick update, quickly added a pause button: when you pause, a pause button will replace the play button.

Just adding here the things I need to work on, so i don't forget them when i get back:

1. choose new font
2. fix battery meter (doesn't seem to work properly, if anyone can tell me why i'd appreciate it)
3. fix time/date (doesn't seem to want to display on my gigabeat, i get some numbers but mostly letters.)

Chronon:
Regarding the letters instead of time/date, it sounds like you might not be using the most current WPS syntax for the real-time clock.  I have a bunch of themes that currently exhibit this behavior.

marshallw:
this is what i'm using:


--- Code: ---%cl:MP      d/m/y

--- End code ---
It works in the simulator i'm using, but that's probably because the simulator is like 2 or 3 months old.  

Chronon:
Yeah, I think the syntax changed over that time. . .
