Theme repair team wanted.
Llorean:
Regarding %Cf and %?Ct, I'm not certain, it may be that the theme was made with a patch in mind.
Regarding the image buffer, old behaviour was that when the buffer was full it stopped loading images, but mostly worked as normal you just never saw the images. So if, for example, the last few images loaded were the "Stop" icon and the "On Hold" icon, or something similar, you might never notice they hadn't gotten loaded.
It's entirely possible the theme never worked, but nobody quite noticed.
BdN3504:
Ahh ok. Thanks for clearing that up. How do we go about fixing themes that have such problems (aside from leaving some images out)?
Llorean:
I think any theme that can't be fixed within Rockbox's current limits for whatever reason should be marked as "unsupported" and just left alone. It's up to the author how they wish to comply with whatever limitations Rockbox has.

Clear enough. I guess most of the themes made for patched builds fall there, because even something like "converting" the use of multiple fonts, might imply more than fixing the theme, e.g cBrownPlastic for ipod video... the result might be more a *branch* than a *fix*.

True .
I am the one who suggested starting a thread for it, so scold me.
Though, I'd rather spend the time to get this done than to make a wiki page. Wiki is for permanent info, this (hopefully) is transitory.

Well if you're going to assign a different target to every member of the team, then I guess a topic would do the job too as other team members won't have to edit anything but their posts for updating theme status. If that's the case I take that back.

--- Quote ---The other day I was thinking about the themes in the graveyard. Is it okay to list necessary changes alongside each theme (when ever possible) to fix them? I guess we won't have to worry about any licensing issues either.

I see no problem whatsoever in telling people how to fix graveyard themes, even of posting said repair instructions in the wiki.
That being said, the wiki galleries are going bye bye soon when the official theme site goes live. The graveyards I think can be left behind, but I would rather concentrate efforts on getting the gallery themes up and running.

Does it mean the graveyard themes are going to the trash soon or are you going to keep them around for archival purposes?
