(320x240x24) iPod Video - Unnamed So Far

Okay, So I don't have a name yet, and it sure as hell isn't anywhere close to done, but here's my attempt at making a wps with AA.





Questions? Comments? Name ideas? I could use them all. I think I'll end up making it black and put it in the top right corner, jClix style.

Oh, and I'm going to figure out how to center the text when there isn't album art (idea borrowed from cBrownPlastic and the normal iPod AA, but I'm not borrowing the code from any of the other AA themes.)

By the way, this is coded from scratch, I actually didn't copy anything from any of the other builds. Its annoying, but I believe that it's coming along well.

Kudos.

Edit:

Okay, So I'm facing this problem.

With Album Art:


Without Album Art:


The code is as followed:

--- Code: ---#disable status bar
%wd

#Images
%X|bg.bmp|
%xl|A|AAS.bmp|115|146|
%xl|B|Batt5.bmp|278|10|
%xl|C|Batt4.bmp|283|10|
%xl|D|Batt3.bmp|288|10|
%xl|E|Batt2.bmp|293|10|
%xl|F|Batt1.bmp|298|10|

#Battery Code
%?bl

#Static Text
%e|6|220|60|6|FFFFFF|%al%cI:%cM

#Non- Static Text


#Album Art
%Cl|115|56|sc90|sb90|

%?C
--- End code ---

Any ideas why it would be acting strangely? I mean, I got it mostly working, just that one issue is bothering me.

I *think* each %e tag needs to be on it's own line. Maybe you could try this:

%?C<%C%e|78|30|160|3|000000|%s%ac%?ia<%ia|Unknown Artist> | %e|78|60|160|3|000000|%s%ac%?ia<%ia|Unknown Artist>

I'm not sure about using %e inside conditionals though, it will probably upset things. It might take some reworking but you could also try:

%e|78|30|160|3|000000| %?C<%C etc.

hope you get this working, because I do like the concept, good job on the high contrast in this theme

ColdSphinx:
Am I right that you also use custom list position?

This is true. I'm using EvilG's Fusion Build, and I'm making good use of every patch in it.

@EvilG: I'm going to try that. Thanks for the suggestion.

knight4led:
what I have found is that you have to define the largest %e tag that will be used in the line before the conditional and then define a smaller %e, that completely fits inside the original, inside the conditional. Then if you feel like it you can forget the %e for the second part of the conditional.

Also keep the %C tag on its own line.

i.e.
--- Code: ---%e|30|90|260|2|000000|%?C
--- End code ---
this will check if there is AA, if there is it will left align the text at 160, otherwise it will center the text.

For your case where things appear to be on different lines based on AA or not, I'd make conditionals with empty "false" parts for the stuff with AA and conditionals with empty "true" parts for the stuff without. Defining %e tags with different Y coords seems problematic on the same line.

Also be aware that text will no show anywhere where a picture has been preloaded, even if it is not displayed. (The obvious exception is AA, for what reason I do not know.)
