Themes not working right after Daily Build update

[bloodbath]

I just updated my Sansa e260R to the latest Daily build.  Afterwards, my theme (which I created myself, but is based on the Acotil series by one_human - thanks for the turorial) does not work anymore.  When I get to the WPS screen, none of my settings load correctly.  The background does not load and the format does not load.  I seem to also have this problem with the original Acotil series themes.  Prior to the update, everything worked fine.  Also, I've checked all files, but everything seems to be fine.  As a matter of fact, when I run the simulator, everything works fine.  

Anyone have any idea what's wrong?  Thanks in advance.

Well, I installed a previous version of Rockbox, and now everything is back to normal.  I guess the latest daily build is screwy.  I hope they fix it soon.

Confirmed problem on my ipodvideo64mb with many different themes. I loaded daily builds back to http://download.rockbox.org/daily/ipodvideo64mb/rockbox-ipodvideo64mb-20071111.zip before the problem was fixed using Ajant Blue as the test theme. (Broken in 11-12, fixed in 11-11)

The theme "Blackbird" (http://www.rockbox-themes.org/data/320x240x16/Blackbird.zip) worked even in the most recent build (11-23) but from poking through the wps and cfg files I was not able to find what made it go.

please do not double post bloodbath. i would suggest to check the wps. its probably something in the wps and not the daily build.

I thought double posting was posting the same topic in different sections.  I only posted this in this section (and only once).  However, if I'm wrong about the definition, please let me know what the proper definition is and let me apologize for the double-post.  

As I stated before, I reverted to a previous version and it works fine again.  The Rockbox simulator, which uses an older daily build than is currently available, works fine also.  Since I didn't change any of the files, it's hard for me to believe it's the wps.  

Also, someone mentioned that the problem occurs in several different themes, which I do not even have.  That makes it even harder for me to believe that it's just the wps.

Llorean and psycho_maniac, my sincerest apologies.  I did confuse the terms.   It won't happen again.

You should have a look at the svn log page for the last few weeks ( http://www.rockbox.org/since-4weeks.html ) and look at what might have changed around that date that you identified.

(Hint : there are a few entries from the 12th to 14th detailing reworks done in the WPS engine. AlbumArt is now officially supported, but I think you're problem may lie with changes to the left-margin and left-scrolling-margin)

The wiki may have some good pointers too.

There was a recent change in how the WPS handled a syntax error.  I think it used to ignore the error, now it aborts.  I forget the FS number, but I do recall reading something about this in a recent SVN update.

People sometimes double post because they are un-aware that it it possible to modify their last post.

SO if you forget something, or find the answer to a question you asked before someone else posts an answer, you can always MODIFY your last post.

Yes, but anybody who's read the rules should know they can modify because that's what the rules tell them to do.

Could someone enter this into Flyspray?  Unfortunately,  I can't activate my acount; the password doesn't seem to work.  I'm trying to rectify the situation, but I don't know how long it will take.  Thanks in advance.

I have a feeling your problem lies in a missing "|" at the end of a line and not with the daily build.  Some suggestions:

1) Upload your .wps file and let someone take a look at it.
2) Re-download the acotil .wps you used as a guide and see if anything tiny has changed.  I think there was a thread started by one_human talking about how he had to update his stuff for it to work with the new builds.

Thanks for the help.  You were right; I was missing the "|".  Thanks again.
