newClix: preserving jClix' spirit
hhannah:
Well it seems like the "jClix fever" is back! Since evilg brought the original theme pack back to life under the official build, other themes based on pijulius' jClix are appearing, there are modified versions from the originals that work just like they were originally designed also on custom builds (tdtooke's)... but very significantly, the discussion derived from a recent jClix thread (http://forums.rockbox.org/index.php?topic=16228.0) made many aspects regarding theme's licensing clear, and also indirectly did set a question about how themes should be licensed, following Rockbox' philosophy. The discussion about intellectual property threw also an alarm on how a lot of work could be wasted, if it's based on material that is not properly licensed, or if the theme itself is not properly licensed.
I don't know if the great jClix themes can or will be preserved, but just in case, as a jClix fan, putting some of pijulius' work/concept, together with a recent work made for finding sources for free images (http://forums.rockbox.org/index.php?topic=16507.0), and adding some work to all that myself, I made a new theme series called newClix [iPod 320x240]. All the images are taken from the sources posted by Chronon. The basic pijulius' concept is preserved, although modified and made again. I tried to choose the images in the same way, that is, so that they don't get disturbed by the theme's elements, and also trying that the images do not disturb displaying album art; each image utilizes only "few colours". I followed also the pijulius' jClix idea of offering many options based on the same concept to switch easily between them. The newClix themes are licensed CC BY-NC-SA so anybody can copy them, modify them, etc only following the license's simple guidelines.
I had fun making them, it can be a nice hobby ;) Eight themes conform the newClix series (see some examples below) I hope you like them and enjoy them.

Chronon:
Nicely done. I like the subtle usage of text color.

...though I think those screenshots are crying out for anti-aliased fonts...
