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

[evilnick]

Nice one, Avalanche. 

In my opinion, this is one of the (many) strengths of Rockbox - how editable it is. And although the wps coding may look daunting, it's not all that tricky if you're prepared to jump in and have a go.

Thanks evilnick,

I'm quite happy how my first try worked out. Hopefully Surfer got the results he was looking for as well.

I've gotta say that Rockbox has given me a new appreciation for my Ipod since installing it. Like having a brand new mp3 player.

@Alvalanche:
Your edit seems almost perfect :-)

Description of the theme:

Icons Line 1: Replaygain, Crossfade, Repeat mode, Shuffle, Disk activity. [Time | bitrate | battery time | Sleep Timer (if active)].

Replaygain:
On your edit i do not see the icon replaygain(on the original theme it is there):
I have Replaygain put to "track gain", all my tracks have album&track gain analysed

Sleep Timer:
And neither on your edit nor on the original i can see anything for the value "sleep timer":
- my "LCD Settings/Sleep (after backlight off)" are at 20 min and
- my "System/Idle power-off" at 30 min.

green & blue font:
Would it be possible to change the color of the green and blue font to white?

[Avalanche]

Anybody like to input on this? What line and what changes to be made?

I was lucky to get as far as I did. Maybe together we can get it perfect.

This should give you some clues:

Replay Gain:
%rg http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/CustomWPS#Runtime_Database_and_Replaygain

Sleep Timer:
%bs http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/CustomWPS#Power_Related_Information

Font colours:
%V (look at the last two parameters) http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/CustomWPS#Viewports Green would look like 00FF00, and white would be FFFFFF

[Horscht]

Text color is defined by the fgcolor part of the viewport. Below are two vieports, one defining blue text, one green.

Code: [Select]

Blue (8080FF):
%V|0|157|300|23|1|8080FF|000000|

Green (00FF00):
%V|0|185|189|25|0|00FF00|000000|

FFFFFF would be fully white, so all you have to do is change the fgcolor hex value to FFFFFF

I think I have it, Hows this:

[surfer]

thanks a lot once more for your help :-)

@creativesansa333:
Did you edit the Sleep Timer as well? i do not see it on your pic.

[creativesansa333]

Yes, I did include it, it alternates with other information on the bottom of the screen but it does show when you first enter the now playing screen. Do you want the files? I have them uploaded to Mediafire.

[surfer]

Sure, thanks a lot, i'd be very glad to get your edit :-)

Do you maybe have an idea how to implement the "BPM"-Info into this WPS? I have the BPM counted for all my tracks already. So it is about showing it only. I asked about it in this topic already:

That is the address for the files. I don't know how to implement BPM information into the WPS. I'm not sure if there is a way yet. I learned all my stuff about how to make a WPS from a guide and it wasn't mentioned in there. Maybe someone else could tell you that hasn't answered your post in the forums yet. I will keep searching for how to implement BPM information, though.

A *twisted* but feasible solution could be to use the "Comment" ID3 tag to place the BPM info, and then display it in the WPS using %iC. Of course, you would have to use a program like Mp3tag to "move" the BPM info there, and the comment field in your audio files would be sacrificed. (edit: unless the BPM info would be "added" to the existing comment)

[surfer]

Thanks a lot! :-)

Sleep Timer
But i still do not see the info about the "sleep time". Where do you have it? And what setting of rockbox does it exactly reflect?
- my "LCD Settings/Sleep (after backlight off)" are at 20 min and
- my "System/Idle power-off" at 30 min.


BPM:

and the comment field in your audio files would be sacrificed.

and this is exactly what i do not want to.
Hopefully some solution in the near future is going to appear.

@Chronom: perfect! thanks a lot. I confused those settings. Now everything is OK and i can see the sleep timer setting on the WPS.
