newClix: preserving jClix' spirit
Llorean:
Well, antialiasing can be done in advance and simply use pre-rendered translucency. If fonts moved from 1bpp to 2bpp you could then use the two "gray" shades as levels of translucency and have some very basic antialiasing. If you increased the depth further you'd get more levels of translucency. Limited (all existing BDF fonts wouldn't be antialiased, but my best guess is that's more or less waht's being done in that Fonts link.

Not at all, I'll look into that and see if I can make it look better, thanks for your feedback
Edit: It's a small detail but you did catch it and I think you are right, the PB glow should really be adjusted for each background (which I didn't), I will correct it and upload the changes

Interesting, I'll give it a look too, thanks.
Lacking anti aliasing fonts makes even more difficult to use this kind of backgrounds under the menus, where the text could be anywhere; maybe for some cases it's a better idea to forget trying to show the original image there (at least while the antialiasing fonts work, or something like the customlist patch for use in menus gets incorporated), and use a solution like ZincAlloy's Slick theme
Edit: I uploaded a modified version that has some corrections on the progress bar's reflection; I also changed the backdrops that had more font antialiasing problems in the menus, so that they look something like the images below

I think that theme packs such as yours can benefit from a feature such as this:
http://www.rockbox.org/tracker/task/4885
I wonder if it could be implemented...

Regarding this an other possible features, last week I read this about the Rockbox projects for the Google Summer of Code 2008 http://www.rockbox.org/mail/archive/rockbox-dev-archive-2008-04/0087.shtml , it will be very interesting to see the details of each project, in this case specially the WPS Theme Editor project:
WPS/Theme Editor

@Mr.Kit, I didn't use photoshop, I used GIMP. There is a psd file that might be useful for you posted by pijulius (who made the original jClix themes) here http://forums.rockbox.org/index.php?topic=16228.msg122602#msg122602 , if you still want to use my file, please just let me know.
