different backgrounds in WPS... still wondering...
« on: January 04, 2008, 02:07:26 PM »
Themes that have different backgrounds... How does one switch? (ex. the various versions of the "Black Glass" theme for iPods)

Thanks.
n.

edit: I found this topic in the manual. Thank you.

edit #2: What I found in the manual was how to apply BMPs as the backdrop, rather than changing the background on the WPS...

You'll need to go to the .rockbox/wps directory and  using a regular text editor, edit the file "(theme).wps".  In there you'll find a line like:

%X|(backdrop).bmp|

Just change the "(backdrop).bmp" to the new backdrop filename of your choice, save and copy the .wps file back to your player. (Note the "|" on either side of the filename.)

Nathanotis,
I'm working on a black glass theme now that will allow you to change the default background and view it in your wps.  I have the first version working but I'm still not satisfied with it.

Update:  Now posted in 5g section called Clearview.  You can change the background of the wps at will by changing the backdrop.
