Cover Flow for iPod 5G (320x240)

[MrMEC]

I went ahead and posted it to the wiki.  If it's removed, so be it.  It's also at Rockbox-themes.org.  Enjoy!

Does the cover flow feature work? can you use the scroll wheel to search your albums and then click the scroll wheel to select one?

[GodEater]

No. It's just a theme - nothing in it moves, and you certainly can't use it to select your music.

It needs a better backdrop.  i tried mixing the Crashbox_AA backdrop with it and it came out okay, but it needs some tweeking.  

I was going to post this somewhere else (and still probably will), but I think there needs to be a googiTouch wps for the iPod 5g.  I think the only way to do this though is make on that requires you to flip your iPod to create a vertical screne.  The album art would be 240 by 240 which would leave little room for anything else, but I think it would come out nice.

I can easily make the visual parts for a wps like this and probably do a little of the wps coding that i know, but I'd need some help getting everything aligned properly.

Could there be an auto-flip patch?

That would be interesting an auto flip-patch that allowed vertical themes!

There are no accelerometers inside of a 5g iPod so there's no way to track the orientation of the device.  Auto-rotation can not be implemented in the way you would like.

That being said, there used to be a screen rotation patch for the Gigabeat on the patch tracker.  It allowed you to compile a build in which the display was oriented to landscape rather than the usual portrait orientation.  There was no dynamic switching, it just gave you a rotated screen if you booted that build.  However, it looks like that patch may have been rejected since my search of Flyspray did not return it.

A screen rotating patch is what I really meant.  A patch that allowed Vertical themes.  Not that you could flip the screen like on an iTouch.  





...The thing about Rockbox is that it only pretends to have moving parts...

[Chronon]

The thing about Rockbox is that it can only interact with the moving parts that a target actually has.  It cannot create new ones.

Well, with album art now in SVN, I'm going to go ahead and port this theme to the nano...
