New (iPod 5G) theme: Pen&Paper

[jswetzen]

What do you think about the font? I resized the original font (Matttsro) to size 7, but it looked ugly I think the current one (Nimbus-12) is good enough.

Edit: Uploading on rockbox-themes.org is currently down... Can I put it here until rockbox-themes.org is fixed?

The font looks good, I know that Matttsro gets difficult to read in small sizes - even the size used on the 5g looks a bit pixelated.

You could upload it to the wiki, but the forums is the wrong place to post themes.

But I can't upload it to the wiki (uploading is down... )
Can I upload it somewhere on the internet and put a download link here?

I doesn't seem to be down to me, I can both edit and add attachments to the WpsIpodNano page...
Do you have permission to edit the wiki? If not you will have to ask for it in IRC.

Hey,

I uploaded the Pen&Paper theme for iPod Nano .

If something has to be changed, please say it and I'll change it asap!

jswetzen: I've got permission to edit the wiki, but I tried to upload it as a Theme, not as a WPS... Now I uploaded it as a WPS.

nice to hear that

Would it be easy to whack a clock on it too?

Do you mean a real clock or a drawn one?

Hmmmm, either! A drawn one (that actually displays the time) would be awesomee but I can imagine it being quite hard to do?

[sammienator]

Would be really cool But I'm not sure if that's possible...
Edit: I think that it should be possible in the 'wps-code', but I don't think it's possible in the 'theme-code'. I'll try to work on it

StsIkel:
I'm sorry the font hasn't got the characters you need, but it was difficult to find a good one and I went for design rather than support for different languages.
If you find some other font that you like, I could convert it for you and include it in the theme as an option. You don't get the right feeling without a handwritten font!    

Just wanted to say thanks for converting the font I sent you - I've now got all kinds of icelandic/cyrillic goodness in a matchingish font, if slightly older looking

I am pretty sure that a hand drawn one would be impossible with SVN Rockbox. I had a wonderful idea about making an analog clock for my Sudan theme, but the hour tags only had true or false values, no conditionals that would allow you to display a picture for every hour and minute.

Hi

Over here; http://forums.rockbox.org/index.php?topic=15260.0 I foolishly suggested that I'd try and modify your theme for the iRivers (H300 & H100 - probably because I and my wife have them). I struggling to find the handwriting font - the link you gave previously is now 404 - do you have a source?

Edit: I re-founf the message - I've got the ZIP from filefront - lets see what I can do...

[Strife89]

I know the output will be ridiculously small, but could someone please try making a Sansa c200 port?

[devoinregress]

This is the theme I am using right now. I love it, it gives my iPod such character.

[shuler]

Wow, this theme is the best!
But I have a big trouble(((

May anybody give me a font for this theme with russian letters???
I need it very much...

[hhannah]

One option you have is to find the fonts you want to use in either TTF (TrueType) or OTF (OpenType) formats, and then convert them for rockbox using the rockbox font convertor utility
