Hello,
I've tried using the "Brushed metal" theme and have set both the forground and background color to 000500 in:
\.rockbox\config
an even tried \.rockbox\themes\brushed_metal
I've also used MS Photo Editor to reduce the gamma of brushed.bmp to help compensate for the ipod video's extreme brightness and poor black levels of the LCD.
When navigating the configuration menus the brushed metal is less bright and looks as intended. However, when playing a song the screen becomes full brightness (color) and looks to be FFFFFF. If I menu out, then the brightness is muted and looks as desired.
Is this a bug or am I missing something? I didn't find anything definitive in a search and viewing the documentation (page 111) the color settings in config are supposed to be for the WPS as well.
Thanks!
