formal WPS (theme)

Hello everyone.
(I'm asm still new to this opensource rockbox stuff, so forgive me if I use some wrong terms or arguments)

I really started to appreciate rockbox lately and I found some good themes. I modified those and am using those (my modify skills aren't that big XD).

Though I'm still looking for a good formal theme which looks simple and professional ( as formal as the original ipod firmware was, though pls don't let it look like it). You may be wondering why I am asking this. Well I'm asking this because most of the themes look kinda scratchy...what a word, scratchy..., and I'd just like to have a simple wps or just a theme which doesn't need to display to many options, just enough, which still looks professional. I am new to this and am learning the implemantation when i got some spare time.
I found Rocker theme which is a nice them on it's own. And I'd like to know if there maybe are people who have such themes but not supported or uploaded yet.

Also, I'd have anpther small question. the menu, there are the icosn of the battery, volume, time.... it looks kinda small. any idea how I can chance such things easely and maybe a step by step guide to change those things, as it is really hard to keep searching those abbreviations in the pdf file and learn what they are to see if I need to change that. Still I am doing my best.

ofcourse this is alot to ask, but simple replies and help would be much appreciated.

This sounds like the "status bar" and it currently has two settings, ON and OFF.

And for the themes, chances are if you can't find any you like by searching the internet (there are other sites which host themes as well), you're out of luck.  it may help to mention what player you have, though.  Also, in case you haven't discovered them already, there are a few very helpful pages on how to make your own WPSes and detailed descriptions of the tags in the wiki.

It sounds to me like the default cabbiev2 theme would be just what you're looking for...

ZincAlloy:
I think he's got an ipod video...

eekhoornstaartlolly:
yep, got an ipod video.

I had the cabbiev2 for a while, and I liked the WPS, so i keeped that one. It's fine for what it is and I keeped the WPS with minor changes.
also got pen&paper, it's just a nice theme XD.
I'll see what i can do to make my own, the learning goes slowly but it goes.

ain't here by chance a way to enlarge the statusbar? can I do it myself or are there already versions of rockbox in which it is implemented as i see in some themes that the statusbar is different but you need to have the version of rockbox of the maker of that theme.

also, when I change the font everything changes place in the WPS I understand that, so I just need to change it in the WPS file (remove whitelines etc...) no?

really excited of making a new one, will upload it as soon as it is fully functional.

btw: another small question. I just discoverd the album art, downloaded it. and I like it XD. though what is it exactly in rockbox? as far as I read, it shows your album cover on the WPS, but you'll need a WPS that supports AA? I know this may sound very confusing, and it may have been asked couple of times before me. but I gtg, ned to catch glass, when i'm back i'm gonna look for it myself anyway, just haven't had enough time to find out.

thanks again
