New (iPod 5G & Sansa e200) theme: Sudan!
« on: July 04, 2007, 02:41:28 AM »
I've finally pulled myself together to make my own theme, and it's Made in Sudan!



This could be finished now, but comments and suggestions could make it better.

EDIT:

The psd (photoshop file) can be downloaded at http://files.filefront.com/Sudan+psd+sourcezip/;8158316;;/fileinfo.html.

The Sansa version is finished and put up on the wiki: http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/WpsSansaE200#Sudan

I might port it to Sansa using the simulator, but not until I come back to Sweden in a week (I've been living in Sudan for eight months now) and I'll post the .psd to the wiki then too.

Thanks for considering the Sansa e260. Just a few things: 1) can you put a minus sign in front of the time elapsed digits, and 2) a spelling correction: it should be "It's audible now," not "It's audiable now." I love the transparent style! You should some more transparent-like themes in addition to Sudan. Like one with the moon and stars or something. Very original concept. :D

Possible Improvements: Have you tried it with nimbus fonts? Is the shuffle icon symbol a double helix spiral? The repeat icon symbol should be more circular than oval-shaped? Both the shuffle and repeat icons should be semi-transparent, to give it a sleek effect. The system directory menu should also sport the cool semi-transparent style. Lastly, the little icon symbol for the artist (a brown man with blue clothes) should be fully black, with legs and arms more visible.

Is it that no one actually comment on themes any more but just download them, or isn't this one that good? Only two people have given me any response...

Thank you terrence1019 for the feedback. I've corrected the spelling and will give the menu a try. I'll change the artist symbol, but it won't be entirely black. About the shuffle and repeat icons: I just made them pretty much like the original iPod icons and the shuffle is semi-transparent.

Unfortunately I can't do much right now because my trip back to Sweden was delayed, (we haven't go the exit visas yet, btw., have you ever heard of final exit visas before? Entry visas are normal, but final exit?) but come back in a week and there will be a new version.

Far from the truth: your theme is very cool. That's why I've been paying so much attention to it. Hope you get time to finish it. Would love to see the final product.

I like this theme a lot also.  I only occasionally peruse 5G WPS topics these days because my iPod broke a couple of months ago and I am only now rounding up the parts to repair it.  

It seems you could adapt this to other backgrounds pretty easily.  I'm sure other versions with other background images would be welcomed.

I was actually thinking of making another version using darker images and a white/light text colour.
When I get the my computer up and running I'll both post v1.0 of Sudan and the psd source at long last.

Great theme!  Putting "Rockin' in the Nile" on the backdrop is classic.

I have started making a sansa e200 version, but expect that it might take a while.
