Chronon, the gigabeat port is already up in the wiki http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/WpsGigabeatF#arboxWidgets ... needs testing & feedback!!!  ;)

Edit: The download is working now!

Chronon:
I'll give it a whirl tonight.    :)

I can't get the download to work properly at the moment.

Edit: I will test it out shortly.

Edit2: Attached a screen dump.  Everything looks good on target.

I see that you are using a bigger size for the first 2 widgets. In my opinion that might make the screen look a bit "crowded"; that's why I thought of even reducing the original size of the widgets, also eliminating the text inside them. In the first sketch I posted for you are two possible sizes. In any case, you would probably only be able to fit 6 or 7 widgets, so before placing any specific widget, it might be a good idea to decide which ones to discard. Also having in mind to keep the screen with a "clean" look, consider eliminating the AA frame. Defining the general layout would really help (text, widget sizes and AA distribution)

Thanks for the inputs.
I've already decided which widgets I will put (progress, repeat, battery, shuffle,HDD, volume). They don't fit on the Sansa now, so it might be possible that we ditch the HDD and the progress widgets (or transform the original progress widget in one long widget).

By enlarging the Date&Time widgets I wanted to make them fit perfectly on the right of the Album Art. IMHO, it looks better like this (2 bigger widgets) instead of 3 smaller widgets that don't fit perfectly.

kratonator, I guess in this matters different persons will always have different preferences, all valid and quite possibly leading to equally good results  ;)  I'm looking forward to your adaptation! If I can help you with any base-icon or anything else just let me know.

For my Sansa version, since the screen is smaller, it was not an easy task, but I did it trying to keep what I consider the theme's original version "visual feel"

soap:
1 - Please edit the wiki so arboxWidgets_G_NF is hosted on the wiki - and does not point to an external host.

2 - Looks nice.
