New C200 WPS

<< < (2/2)

A few suggestions:

1) Shrink the progress bar (it's a bit fat)
2) Move the "locked/unlocked" icon to the bottom row (and squeeze the other icons in a little)
3) Lose the status bar (it's not in the screenshot; but I leave it on on my Sansa for when I'm in the menus) It pushes the theme down a bit if left on.
4) Can you shrink the font by .5 or 1 point?

Other than that, good job! This theme really makes the most of the Sansa display! :)

Thanks for the comments Strife89
You're are free to do anything you want to the theme under the licence.
The only thing I would ask, if you make significant changes you consider uploading it as a variant to the original
after all we are not exactly snowed under with C200 themes.

I'll try to make the changes myself, but I'm so new to this that it'll probably take me a month for even my simple suggestions. :-[

One simple change you might do if the status bar is showing up for you is to add %wd on a line just after the lines for loading the images, this will disable the status bar for the WPS regardless of whether or not it's on in the menus.  The theme's author must have their status bar disabled in the menus and didn't think to make the theme switch it off in the WPS regardless of the system settings.

If you want to use a smaller font, go to Settings > Theme Settings > Browse Fonts and choose a font that's smaller.  Keep in mind that a smaller font may mess up the theme layout a little depending how the author has it set up, so you may want to test a few fonts to see if they work, and pick the one that works best.  Rockbox uses fixed-sized fonts, so shrinking it means loading a completely different, smaller font.

Shrinking the progress bar (currently) should be as simple as changing the height and possibly the top position (first and last parameters).  I'm assuming the bar is too wide top-to-bottom, and not side-to-side...  If it's too wide side-to-side, change the second and third parameters by a few pixels, adding to the second and subtracting from the third.

Moving the icon will certainly take a little more work...  You'll need to move the line that displays the images to the appropriate viewport (assuming here the author used viewports), and you'll need to adjust the x and y positions of all the icons appropriately to fit it in.

I hope this advice helps make things easier for ya.
