Iphone theme dillemma
Ghost Toast:
Ok got it. new problems though. So, I installed the most recent current build of Rockbox and I downloaded a couple of themes online that said they would work with any recent daily build. Once again... not a single one worked like it was supposed to. I installed the fonts package, so now I'm completely stuck on what to do. I tried re-installing the themes, but it still didn't work. So if you guys could help me with that one... it would be great. If you need anymore information just let me know. I have one more question, this might be a little off topic, but, I heard that there was a picture flow plugin, and the directions didn't make sense to me. Finally, the last question, I finally got the basic idea on how to create my own WPS, I just don't know how to create the buttons, and how to make it all one theme, making it so when I'm on the menu, it has one backdrop, and on the WPS screen, it has another.
Any help is appreciated. Sorry if I made it a little long.
Sansa Crazy ;)

Some themes are broken due to stricter enforcement of the syntax. arboxWidgets works well for me.
You should ask about the picture flow plugin in the proper forum.
The WPS code is basically a simple markup language that allows you to place text and images on the screen. Just decide what images you want it to contain and under what conditions you want them to be displayed. The backdrop for the theme is defined in the .cfg file for the theme. The WPS background is stored with the other WPS images and gets displayed by the %X tag.

It's possible that even some of those themes that say they work with the recent builds are still out-of-date enough that they won't work with the newest builds. This, I believe, is why it's been insisted that people put the date on the page when they post/update a theme, but even if it's not, it certainly gives an idea when "recent" was when the theme was posted.

I wrote the Iphone theme, and the reason it's not working is because (for the cover flow half) You need to either update or remove the %m (scrolling margin tags), remove them and it works fine. The other half uses some patches that are no longer in existence. I'll try to fix this to use viewports.
Most of the time if a theme is not working the tags that are out of whack are either album art (%C), or scrolling margins (%m), or there was some syntactical error (like a "|" left out at the end of an image coordinate declaration. It just takes some time to look through the wps file to find the error.

So what ur saying is I should delete all the %m tags I can find in the WPS file and it should work like it's supposed to?
Update: Hey.... Guess what? It still doesn't work. I removed all of the %m tags before I extracted the file into the root of my e200. It's exactly the same as it used to be. it uses the default wps file (peakmeter, artist, album, track, this can be annoying because I don't like the peakmeter) for the while playing screen, and the menu is regular, it just has the background image... that's it. Also, your e200 theme acts the same way. Is there any more information I missed??
Also, do u think it would work if I completely removed rockbox and manually installed the older version?
