Yes thanks, though I found that already.
The newest of the old version I can find there is 2.5 dated 22th of September 2005!
That seems a bit too outdated for me...

No way to get 3.3 or 3.2?

IF you could convince the original author to allow redistribution under a CC license...

Yes, if only I found a way to contact him...

Actually the link is http://download.rockbox.org/release/ for all current old releases (since 3.0).

ZonderP:
Thanks a lot perrikwp!

You made my day!
I think I'll go the way to do without some of the newest feature in 3.4 in favor of being able to use this theme!

Edit:
Could not resist:

b) Check the customWPS page in the Wiki, and make any required changes to the wps file. This might not be all that simple though.

I tried that and with the help of the rockbox UI simulator started with enhanced debugging information I was able to find and fix the problem!

For anyone interested:
Change the line 54 in phkTAPEa.wps (phkTAPEb.wps, phkTAPEc.wps)
from
%?pv<%xdv|%xdw|%xdx|%xdy|%xdz|%xdA|%xdB|%xdC|%xdD|%xdD%xdE>
to
%?pv<%xdv|%xdw|%xdx|%xdy|%xdz|%xdA|%xdB|%xdC|%xdD|%xdD>

The parser seems to be more picky in the newest version (3.4).... since this looks like erroneous code from the beginning...

Thanks for helping me with this to all of you!

Just for the record, I tried contacting the original author months ago (PHK Brasil) with no luck, in order to officially upload a working version of this theme, that also includes updates like a "left wheel winding - right wheel unwinding" effect, a nice album art thumbnail...

For now, I updated the .wps replacement files that allow the original theme to work (thanks ZonderP)

Right, they are abandoned and they don't have permissive licenses, which is a pity, but in my personal opinion, it's good and I thank that they can still be downloaded and modified, for personal use, theme making inspiration...
