Rockbox 'Ipod' skin...

(1/2) > >>

seb_1212:
Hi, quick question is there a skin for rockbox (namely the 2gB nano) that looks exactly, or very much like the normal ipod firmware?

I wish to put rockbox on my girlfriends ipod, but she will think i've broken it, and wont understand when i try to explain if it looks much different.

i have searched, but i cannot find any relevant results. also, I can't test any skins i find, as i dont have an ipod of my own.

any help much appreciated,
thanks

GodEater:
Although there's nothing to stop you making your own one of these, we don't allow distribution of themes which mimic Apple's (or indeed any other of the large manufacturer's) look. We don't want to be on the wrong end of anything copyright related - which is why you can't find what you're looking for.

Also, buttons, menus etc will all still be different.

Thanks for the quick replies.

thats fair enough. So i'd have to make my own...

Forgive me, but its been a few years since i used rockbox, but if i wanted to, would it be possible to re-map buttons to the same functions as the ipod firmware? or more accurately: how hard would it be? (i have experience in a few programming languages, including c, if thats how deep i'd have to get to do it...)

Thanks for your help

Llorean:
The Apple firmware does several things with, for example, podcast handling and rating that Rockbox doesn't. You'd never be able to honestly disguise Rockbox as the Apple OS without adding a few whole features to it, and significantly rewriting what screens in Rockbox exist and how you get from one to another.
