New (iPod 5G) theme: Pen&Paper

i'd really welcome a font with more glyphs too, if i had a nice handwriting i'd consider converting it to a rockbox font ;)

but i don't... if someone finds a suitable font that supports strange characters i'd appreciate it.

pen&paper is an awesome theme, thank you for making it!

edit: i'll look for a font tonight, perhaps i can find one...

I'm almost finished with an E200 port of this fine theme.

I am just awaiting permission to post it for release.  

The cute Icons set, that was initially developed on the I Pod and Gigabeat versions is not included, as I could not properly resize the icons, and all my editing programs would not properly work with the translucent channel  (It actually showed up as pink).  My inability to resize any of the transperancy .bmps also prevented the little stick guy from waving when the music is paused, so instead we have a simple static stick figure in the WPS screen.  

Also due to the size restrictions of the Sansa screen, the shrinking of the Icons required to be used with the 8 point font caused them to lose a lot of their charm, so the original Rockbox Icons actually work better here.

The size of the Sansa screen does make it a little harder to read than the wider I-Pod and Gigabeat versions.  The 8bit version of the Font is a lot less readable than the original 12 point version, but it's still pretty good.

While I would not use this Theme as my regular theme (cabbie is much more friendly to my 40+ year old eyes) , it's unique nature is where it's charm lies, and those who don't regularly use reading glasses should be able to use it.

This is the first theme conversion I had done, and I hope I did it some justice.  

I plan on tweaking a second version to make it more legible on the Sansa, and hope to be able to use the 9 or 10 point version of the font for version two.

That is how transparency is implemented in Rockbox. The pink color is the transparent "marker".

Anyone got enough spare time to port this to the H300 (and hence iPod Color/Photo)?  I know I haven't :/

Thanks, Linus.

That's exactly what I expect, but when I try to resize it using my basic editors, (paint and GIMP), it seems that it now saves that color as part of the bitmap.  

When I run the simulator, the pink comes through.

I'll try resizing the iconset again and place it on the player and see how that works.  Perhaps the simulator is not reading the transperancy marker correctly.

As I said before, this is my first real attempt to port over a theme.  The only thing's I've done in the past is use WPS tags to modify information on another persons theme, or use a different font, and adjust the WPS for it to fit.

This is my first attempt to actually resize all of the .bmp's and take a known working port of another player and convert it.

I appreciate all your feedback.
