Sector WPS Font Colour Goes Black on Reboot

[vostok4]

Hi, I'm just learning the ins and outs of Rockbox and I'm loving it, and I found a theme I love (Sector). Here is the proper WPS:



However after rebooting, my WPS font is BLACK, so I naturally can't see a damn thing in the now playing menu. I have to reapply the theme settings, and then after that if I restart, I need to rinse and repeat.

Is there a known fix for this?

Check the config.cfg file in /.rockbox contains:
 Background Colour: #FFFFFF
that should sort it out...i think for some reason rockbox may not be writing it properly...

Should it be the background colour that is FFFFFF? I thought the font would be something like foreground, but I'll give it a shot anyways. This is the colour settings in my config.cfg file:

foreground color: FFFFFF
background color: 000000

EDIT: Ok changing the background to FFFFFF did nothing, and the foreground stayed as FFFFFF, so I'm not sure its those colours?

Mess around with:

Settings -> Theme -> Colours -> Foreground

It should save it when you shutdown and start up with the settings intact...

OK, I think I've tried that but I will try it again.

In case that doesn't work:

What are the colours on your main menu when you boot up?

My bad, i meant foreground!

If the WPS BG and the menu backdrop always have images don't bother messing around with the background color option, you'll never see it.

foreground color affects font color... and I think that aspect alone...

Well its only the WPS font colour that is black on restart, every menu is still fine with a white font. Reapplying the theme seems to make it work just fine.

That's really strange... All I can suggest is that you make sure that these two lines appear in both your config.cfg file and the sector.cfg file in the Themes folder:

foreground color: FFFFFF
background color: 000000

Otherwise, try some other themes to see if similar problems occur, and if not, look at their code to see what's different and might be causing the problem.  This is pretty much guranteed to be something really obvious and simple that will require some serious smacking of the head upon solving...

I just tried the theme out myself and it works fine over here.  When you load the theme, are you going to "Browse themes" or "Browse .wps files"?  Does the music play fine?  Can you see the date and time in black over the background graphics?  

[vostok4]

Hm, maybe it is with my build (Digibuild) that is causing the problem? I haven't tried other themes yet, will do that tomorrow for sure.

I am going to "Browse Themes", which should I be going to? I do see the date and time in black over the background graphics when it first loads. Music works just fine too.

We say very clearly NOT to report issues with unsupported builds. That's what "unsupported" means. Any problems with modified builds should be either brought to the build's author, or you should verify them with an official build first, and do all testing with an official build, so we know their code isn't causing it or interfering.
