Back in Black theme

<< < (2/2)

ZincAlloy:
he put screendumps on the wiki, but he forgot to specify their size, so you don't see a spacer until the pics load. He also didn't realize that the 5g wps wiki page is in alphabetical order..

.. and he violated the license under which I released the slick themes..

DuhhOne:
Again, I only posted this theme because a couple people I know saw my ipod and asked me about it.
These people have an ipods and had never heard of rockbox.

So it made sense to bring them here so they could see what rockbox was all about.

If I screwed up the formatting of the wiki posting, I'm sorry, but I'd never edited a wiki before.
I just copied the post above mine and changed the values until it worked.
I'm sure someone else with some experience could fix it and do a better job.

I would have much rather posted zip file here and have someone else edit and post it to the wiki properly, but alas that is "against the rules".

Some kind of automated form would make sense also.

Zinc, sorry but I only used your theme as a template to get what I wanted.
I liked the font you used and used trial and error to move stuff around so I could get the AA to fit.
Somewhere along the way I must have deleted the license entries , not my intention.
Feel free to fix it and re-post it if you like.

Lastly I just want to say that I understand why you guys have rules here.
They are needed.

But really this project is all about "breaking the rules".
If you hate the software on your player, you can load rockbox and make it do what you want.

It really sucked that all I wanted to do is contribute something, and get some people I know interested in rockbox.
But when I tried to do this I was immediately stomped on for "breaking rules".
When I thought I was helping everyone "break the rules".

Chronon:
DuhhOne, everyone makes mistakes from time to time.  Don't take it too hard.  From the standpoint of the project we just want to make sure that the resources remain usable by everyone.  That is a motivation for some of the rules. 

I see Rockbox as allowing me to use a device that I own in a way that I want.  It does not involve disrespecting other people's intellectual property or copyright.  While themes are not part of the core project, I think that most would agree that they should adhere to a similar standard.  The goal, as I see it, is to make use of resources that permit and encourage reuse, not to make illicit use of copyrighted work.

Hopefully you can take the criticisms constructively.  Welcome to Rockbox.
