Problem with Themes on Sansa
« on: October 07, 2007, 06:13:00 PM »
I've been trying to get a new theme on my MP3 player for some time. The manuals state that you just extract the contents of your downloaded theme to the "Theme" folder. And so I did, and the forecolour + backcolour usually change, but nothing else changes. The icons and interface do not change. I downloaded a theme specifically for my MP3 player (Sansa e260), so I hoping it would work. When I try to add the theme, I go to Settings > Theme Settings > Browse Themes, and I select the .cfg files. That usually just changes forecolour and backcolour. When I select the .wps file, there are no changes. My question is, can I load font, fore/backcolours, interface all at once? The way I'm doing it does not seem to be working.

The theme I trying to add was DockPodAA. And yes, I have the font package.

christianity_9,

There should be a few folders, which will be placed into the .rockbox folder (Themes, WPS, Fonts, Backdrops).  Do not place the entire WPS contents into just the Themes folder.

DockPodAA needs an unsupported build. Which is, as the name tells, unsupported.

But, I've tried other themes too, and they come out to having the same problem. Only the forecolour and backcolour change when I add them.

Probably because they all require patches, meaning you need an unsupported build.
AA = Album Art

the themes web site states exactly what build a theme requires. Why don't you just read this information? I got the information from the same location ... besides, as long as you only speak of "other themes" but don't give any details there is no way to tell you the problem. But I'd bet all those themes require an unsupported build.
