BlurPod (iPod 5G)

[SliMM]

Hello. I have just posted a new theme in the wiki called BlurPod:
http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/WpsIpod5g#BlurPod
Here you can make suggestions/feature requests or post bugs.

Thanks.

I really like this, especially the edges around your icons. I also like the colors you've used inside the icons. A very clean and appealing theme, I can see this one becoming popular. The layout reminds me of escape pod (a good thing). There is also some potential for an album art version. Could you provide the .psd source, I'd like to change the bg?

[SliMM]

I'll post the psd tommorow, I'm not home now. The layout is inspired from Escape Pod, a theme that I like very much. I hope that some sort scrolling margins thingie will soon be included in the SVN. (maybe SVN AlbumArt will help a bit).

I did this because I wanted a badge, and a "coder" badge is pretty difficult to get.

I have attached the PSD source in the wiki, you can get it from there.

Wowser, thats a fine WPS. I might even go and declare it as the best looking WPS for standard build. Little thing though, I reckon the font could be a clearer one, thats based on seeing it on screen not on my rockbox though.

Thank you for making such a wonderful wps that doesn't need a custom build

This is really nice, if you weren't planning on it, perhaps I could try to port it to the gigabeat?

[SliMM]

BigMac: Please, feel free to port it to gigabeat. Use the PSD for the layer style

psycho_maniac: I don't like themes for custom builds, because I want my build to be up to date. The scrolling margins would make this theme even better, but it works fine without it. I'll wait for the viewports.

jambamkin: I chose this font because it has quite good unicode support. The total line height is 15 px, so i think a nimbus 12-13 would work fine.

Please do!

This theme is awesome

[psycho_maniac]

Yes I dont like custom builds either because there not supported by the rockbox team and there they dont get updated as much

I really like this theme!  With your permission I'd like to up an album art version of this.  Granted that would involve the album art, bmp resize, and scrolling margins patches but those patches are generally very stable and I'm sure all three will be accepted in time.

Don't be so sure; it isn't just about stability.  It has to be done the right way both in terms of concept and coding.

That's why they're on flyspray getting sorted out.  I can't imagine album art and scrolling margins not being in our future.  Come to think of it, I can't imagine multifont not being in our future either, just not the near future.

[AlexP]

The desirability of them is irrelevent.  I'm sure somone sometime will implement the feature, it just might not be using with the current patches at all if they are not written in the right way.  It may require someone to completely recode the feature.

[tdtooke]

If you're that concerned about album art not being implemented right you should come over to flyspray and contribute to the effort, that's the purpose of flyspray.
