Back in Black theme

(1/2) > >>

DuhhOne:
Hey everybody,

Just got finished making a new theme and I thought I'd share it.
It's loosely based on the Slick - Let It Blue theme.

I wanted 200x200 album art and a darker theme, but nothing was quite what I wanted.

I included some pics and the zip (change from .bin to .zip)

I was going to submit this to the wiki, but I didn't want to register, then jump on IRC and wait for somebody to give me wiki write access, and then finally edit the wiki and include my theme.

Seemed like a lot of hassle to submit a couple images and some txt files.

And why does my wiki name have to be a full first and last name?

Anyway,

If anyone wants to put it up on the wiki, go for it.

Also if anybody wants to change anything in the theme, again go for it.

I don't really like the font that included, but it is the best size for my Ipod.
I've tried all the fonts in the font bundle so if anyone knows of a better one, let me know.

I've loved rockbox ever since my Archos Jukebox 20, so I hope someone will enjoy my small contribution.

Even if it is a half-assed contribution at best

So, because you didn't want to do things the right way you decided to ignore the forum guidelines? Thanks all the same, but that's not really a choice you get to make. If you don't want to post it on the wiki, then that's your choice.

Honestly, it's less than three minutes of your time to contribute to the wiki, with the longest step (which is the only reason it might take longer) being "wait in IRC" if nobody's awake at the time. If you don't want to contribute to the wiki, that's fine, but please, at least have the decency to respect the rest of the guidelines around here.

DuhhOne:
So it's done.
I went through all the un-user friendly steps and posted it to the wiki.

Here's the link

Seriously, I probably won't do this again.
I though I was doing something fun, and only wanted to post the theme here because someone asked me for it.

But after being scolded for "breaking the rules" in the forum and then jumping through all the weird hoops just to get it uploaded to the "correct place" in the "correct way" it's really ruined the whole "fun" thing for me.

Again if anybody has any suggestions for the theme feel free to do what you want with it.

Llorean:
Seriously though, what did you expect someone to say "Oh, we just put the guidelines up for fun, and don't mind that you chose to ignore them?"

I mean I can with some assurance say it's quite easy to avoid getting scolded for this issue. But you even went out of your way to rename the files to get past the restrictions, and admitted you knew where they were supposed to go.

Couldn't you have perhaps said "The WPS gallery is difficult for me, can someone help me post my theme?" as a way of solving your problem within the guidelines, rather than by your actions telling us you don't respect us, as a site, enough to follow them?

It's a shame you couldn't be bothered to include a screen cap on the wiki, so that people can decide if they want to use it.
