New (iPod 5G) theme: Pen&Paper

[jswetzen]

Enough double posting! If I could edit posts as I'd like I would fix cocobomb's double posts, delete Llorean's double post about double posts and also remove GodEater's post on Llorean's double post about double posts. But I can't. And please don't respond to this part of my post. EDIT: Thank you Febs.

To the point: I'm creating an iconset to go with the theme and obviously it's made with a pencil. I thought it would look terrible when I made rough draft on the computer, but on the iPod it looks all right! I'll upload it when the second version is finished.

Enough double posting!

And please don't respond to this part of my post.

I'm responding only to say that I have deleted all of the double posts and most of the discussion about double posts.  If I see any more double posts, I am going to delete BOTH posts from that poster, and if I see any more discussion about double posts, that will get removed as well.  No more warnings.

I would say that Pen&Paper is just about completed now. The iconset is finished and I found a good font released under the GNU GPL, so just tell me what you think about the final product.

Maybe just a few more doodles would be nice... bored, anyone? Soader03?

Could you correct the zip file on the wiki so that it unzips correctly straight into /.rockbox rather than PenPaper/.rockbox?  Otherwise it will not work correctly with RockboxUtility's theme installer.

[jswetzen]

Done!

That new font looks really cool with the icons! I'm going to try it on my iPod to see how it looks!

[GodEater]

Looks pretty good here

now all you need is a "fuller" background and its perfect~

man i love this theme. the only things i didnt like are. the arrow for the line selector (i changed it to the bar) but the one thing i cant change is the status bar has to be off always. there is a new code that lets you have the status bar on but hidden in the wps

psycho_maniac: What do you dislike about the pointer? Is is too big/small/whatever or don't you like pointers in general? I've added the status bar tag, so you can have it showing in the menu now.

[psycho_maniac]

just the pointer in general. but i do like the idea of it. kinda like you drew it there. i changed it and sorta wanted to change it back but im used to the bar so i kept the bar. thanks for adding the status bar tag. this theme is cool and right now my default one for quite awhile. Some other things I could see on this theme. is pretty much what i see on most of the themes i use.
1. a symbol to show that the hd is spinning
2. when you charge your player a animated battery bar.

other than that i love it.

1. I don't like hd indicators, but I'll make one and comment out the line in the .wps file so that those who wants to can uncomment it.
2. I'm on it.

[Soader03]

According to the Gigabeat port for this theme, I don't have enough skills to change background, and cut the words on the new one, it looks bad. The only thing I could do is to place the icons on the WPS and convert the .wps file to Gigabeat one.

[jswetzen]

I added hdd and charging indicators and you simply uncomment the last line in the .wps to use the hdd icon. I haven't tested it, because I couldn't figure out how to indicate hdd activity or charging in the sim, but it should work.

Soader: I assume that you are using the psd file (the bmp files are almost impossible to use with another background) and at least Photoshop CS2 because otherwise you can't edit the "smart objects" that I've used.

Anyone can help filling up the backdrop by making some doodles on a white piece of paper, scan them/take a photo of them and post the image here. (The files can be hosted at a site like yousendit.com.) I could then cut them out and add them to the theme. Anyone interested?
