Ipod 5G, Theme 'Big Info': How to get rid of AlbumArt?

[surfer]

Becuase of my weak eyes i like the theme "Big Info" from the themes page:

http://themes.rockbox.org/index.php?target=ipodvideo

Could somebody modify it for me so that it does not show the AA?

[LambdaCalculus]

Actually, you can use the theme without AA. Simply don't add any to the folder with your album in it, and the WPS will adjust accordingly.

[surfer]

thnaks for your reply!

But without the AA the theme shows a CD symbol at the place of AA and the text is scrolling beside it.

What i want is to have this space used by the info text.

[LambdaCalculus]

The .wps file is a plain text file, so you can simply open it up in your favorite text editor and remove the AA tags. See this page for more information:

ok, thanks, but it does not seem to work.

the BigInfo.wps looks like this:

I removed the following 2 lines:

%Cl|0|0|c130|c130|
%?C<%C>

after that the CD symbol is still there and the text still beside it and scrolling.

[evilnick]

The background image for the WPS contains the CD image, which then gets overlaid by the album art if available.

In terms of the information not appearing within/over the top of the CD image, I assume that the viewports would need to be changed.

Edit: Changed my post once I'd checked the wpsbackdrop-320x240x16.bmp image and it *does* have the CD image in it.

[surfer]

So it seems more diffcult than at the first sight.

Could somebody give it a try?

[Chronon]

If you want a text only WPS you don't really need viewports.  Why not just use appropriate tags to code a text only WPS?

[surfer]

i do not feel capable to code a thing like that.

[Avalanche]

I also would like to know how to alter this WPS as well as this is my choice of themes. It is easy to get rid of the disk picture using MS Paint but I would like to know exactly which lines of text and what changes to make to them  so that the info that is displayed to the right of the Disk picture now moves over to the left.

Should be a no brainer for some of you I'm sure.

[PaulJam]

You'll need to change the viewports (the lines starting with %V|...) which contain the text accordingly.
For details see this page: http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/WebHome?topic=CustomWPS

[Avalanche]

Ok,
Need to change the viewports. On the code below, where and what changes should be made to put all the stuff that's to the right of the "Billion Dollar Babies" cover art on Big Info wps and put them left justified. Anybody want to give it a go. I've never coded anything and would appreciate the help. It should be a breeze for one of you experienced coders out there.

This should do what you want but hasn't been tested.

[surfer]

Thanks a lot!

This should do what you want ...

Almost :-)

The text now begins at the left but still scrolls on the background of the CD symbol using only the space of the earlier AA, which is about half the length from left to right.

[Avalanche]

I decided to give a try and to my surprise I got it just the way I want it.

First edit the backdrop.bmp in MS Paint and get rid of the disk picture.

And below is the editted code.
