240x320x16 & 176x220x16 - New Theme: AmaroK (was WIP: Oxygen /KDE 4)
« on: August 26, 2008, 12:28:12 PM »
Recently I've been trying to mimic KDE4 with my install of KDE3.5.9 and thought I would try the same with Rockbox ;)
Targets: Gigabeat, Sansae200 (maybe an ipod video port later since I don't own one)
Icons: Oxygen - So far the icons are almost done, just some stray purple to take care of and the viewers set
16x16 set for med /large text 12x12 set for small text
Backdrops: blue curl from KDE4.1 and eos from 4.0
Fonts: Helvetica Bold 10 (small) 14(med) 18(large)  (thanks to rashers font site (unifont is avail. for these too))
WPS:not started yet but I'm thinking to mimic a plasma desktop or amarok 2
Just looking for some initial feedback

UPDATE:here's a mockup of the amarok 2 inspired wps (with the a link to the screenshot that I'm using for inspiration)

Thanks guys, Sansa theme is on the way

Sansa Port here: http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/WpsSansaE200#AmaroK

Now if anyone has ideas for the layout of the wps on the ipod video I'd be happy to hear them ;)
(I don't own one anymore  so I'm a bit out of touch with wps's on the video)

Quick and dirty mockup:

Fonts and icons horribly distorted because of the scaling I did.
Just playing around - 90x90 album art is a bit large.
Obviously the 320 vs 240 wide info panel would be holding 50% more text, not 50% stretched text as shown.

Very nice, but I do have 1 complaint. The shuffle and repeat icons in the gigabeat version aren't very clear. But this just became my new theme, I never thought anything could get better than Ultima. :D

And by the way, are you EvilG? You have the same avatar and message under it.

Glad you like it. I didn't have much space left for the the shuffle/repeat icons since I didn't want to clutter the space beside the battery icon etc. Shuffle is an on/off thing so I think its adequate as is, as for repeat I agree it is a bit small, but IMO there is enough difference between the off, one and all settings. And yes I am EvilG, I just like my xbox gamertag better ;)

EDIT: Some initial work on the ipod video port, trying to keep the look of the gigabeat original as best I can, Album Art would go over the AmaroK logo.
EDIT2: The iPod video port lives! However I'm undecided on how to organize the track info area as it shares space with the amarok logo/album art
here's what I'm deciding between

the first is what I believe to be the most accurate to the gigabeat version (logo is not overwritten) however, there is less room for the text compared to the gigabeat
the second gives the text as much space as possible
the third is a compromise

for now I will upload choice 1 to the wiki ...

Ipod Video port is up: http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/WpsIpod5g#AmaroK

As I only have the sim to test with please let me know of any problems (eg: the hdd activity icon might be out of place)
