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.

yeah... but i don't really care about that stuff. as long as it looks sufficiently similar i can pass it off as a firmware update...

however I'm getting the feeling that you guys don't really recommend it/approve, so i think ill give it a miss. Its not that important after all.

Thanks for all your help though.

bascule:
It's absolutely not a question of approval, it's just a fact that if you wanted to clone the Apple button mappings, menus and Now Playing screen, you'd have to modify large chunks of the Rockbox code.

Why not just load Rockbox anyway (remembering you can dual-boot into the OF if required) and let its superiority speak for itself. I'm sure your girlfriend is smart enough to decide which one she likes best.

Maybe she'll be persuaded by the same reason as whatever it is that makes you want Rockbox on her ipod  ;)

Personally I find a lot of those differences very annoying on the original firmware now.  The few times I do use it doing things like pressing menu to go back one menu bugs me.  The whole setup now strikes me as not particularly intuitive.
