Theme background question

<< < (3/6) > >>

Yotto:
There is no faculty for doing that, but if you copy that bitmap file over whatever the background of your WPS is (Stored in /.rockbox/wps/THE_NAME/SOMETHING.bmp

THE_NAME is the name of your WPS you're using. SOMETHING is the name of the background bitmap, usually bg.bmp or something similar. It's probably the biggest file in the directory.

melancholydm,

YES, that's exactly what I'm trying to say.  Thank you.  

GodEater:
And as Yotto says, there is no way to do this elegantly.

If you stick to one background picture outside of the WPS all the time, then you can simply copy that picture over the top of the one specified in the .wps file.

But there's no way for you to select a different background, and for it to magically apply itself to the WPS as far as I'm aware.

What I'm trying to say here is that the background used elsewhere in Rockbox isn't "underneath" the background of the WPS - it's just not there at all - so having a transparent background won't make it show up.

blueskip:
I'm not an expert by any means but I just accomplished what you say isn't possible in the sim a few moments ago.  I have my buttons onscreen with the default backdrop showing underneath.  This is NOT the one applied with the theme.  

I still have some kinks to work out because the buttons are not elegant as you said.  Without the backdrop they are more like icons on screen but they are there.  I just need them to be seemless.  That will take some more time for me to figure out.  

If the sim is the same, I'll eventually figure it out.  It should be possible from what I can tell now.

Sounds like an idea for a theme though!
