New to this, could I get something made from someone who knows how?
« on: April 24, 2008, 11:30:42 PM »
I have NO idea how to make my own themes and was just wondering if someone would custom make one for me? I'm a huge Monster Energy fan and would like a completely custom made 5G 30GB iPod theme of Monster Energy. Could someone help me? Thanks!

I wouldn't mind giving you a hand, however, you may appreciate anything done more if you do it yourself.

There's a very wonderful guide here that explains how to set up a WPS file and outlines the various tags WPS code uses to display whatever information you may like.

Creating the background and any images you may wish to use to indicate things like the approximate battery level remaining or the volume, as well as whether various things like hold, shuffle, and repeat are on or off can be done with pretty much any digital-imaging software (ie. Photoshop or similar products, even MS Paint if you're good with it, or the GIMP for Linux buffs).  Use your imagination, or try to use something that fits in with the theme you want to make.

Hope this helps!

yeah just start out slow and easy and then you can start to get more complicated code in your wps. Thats what i did. I thought it was really nice. Although my wps's are very outdated and dont work anymore. I dont even think i have the code for them anymore.

Did you put them on the wiki or on rockbox-themes.org?  You could always download them and bring them up-to-date if you have them up somewhere...  I recently brought all of my themes up-to-date, a few hours worth of work...  Adding viewports to themes that didn't really need them since they were designed carefully based on the line-height of the font I used and making them use bitmap strips where possible rather than individual bitmaps for every image...  *shrug*  Was lots of fun...
