brushed metal theme

[ZincAlloy]

what's wrong with the current build? Seems like it's not possible to display images (other than the backdrop) under a viewport anymore. this worked with the simulator and was very useful...

here's my code

I am also having problems with the latest code and viewports WPS.

I was having a problem with displaying volume/battery level images and someone suggest to put those before the viewport lines. That worked for me.

For some reason, if I use %?C<%C>  the albumart is not displayed, so only try %C

My problem right now is that I have text (viewports) to the left of the album art, and I am getting blank lines on top of the album art. I haven't had a chance to play with it to see if that is what's causing it.

Hi, you can still display images inside viewports by placing the %xd tags in the viewport. The coordinates from the %xl tag are relative to the viewport.
But in your WPS the coverspacer.bmp or albumart is only half under the viweport, so you have to increase the size of the viewport a little bit.

just noticed something: is the | needed for this line:

%?C<%C>

to be

%?C<%C|>

this one seemed to work, correct?

%?C<%xdC|>

[ZincAlloy]

well, it seemed to work on the simulator..

but the cover art and text positioning need to be independent from each other. I thought that was the actual point of viewports

Two things:

1) When there's no album art, can you use a pic of a carved out rockbox symbol?

2) Instead of a "Energizer" type battery icon, can you use a fancier icon, like a   a few blocks

[ZincAlloy]

1) No. With no album art present the text will get centered
2) I like the battery icon...

%?C<%C|>

just looked it up on the wiki. the "else" part is optional, so both versions are right

edit:
just had a chat with linuxstb. my theme worked on the simulator because of a bug that is fixed now. I'll have to wait for viewport conditionals to make it work.

[ZincAlloy]

ok, found a simple workaround.
The theme can now be found in the h300 wps gallery.

Enjoy!
