rename the custom statusbar stuff!

(1/3) > >>

JdGordon:
right, so its agreed that the name "custom statusbar" doesnt really say much about what it is and outright lies even!

so we need to come up with a good short name for it to go in the menus and manual and everything. we need ideas!
We also need a filename extension to go with it (ie replace the .sbs).

we dont like the name theme at all because a theme is a collection of these skins.

"Main Skin" is about the best we have so far, but its a bit meh... so ideas!

edit: I've been asked to elaborate on what this skin actually is. Its the skin that controls the look of rockbox in just about every screen except plugins and the WPS. Any time a menu or list is displayed this is the skin you see. It can be boring and show nothing, or it can be as interesting as a full blown WPS.
The most important bit of the <insert skin name here> is that it defines where the rest of the UI sits (the lists, the default viewport for WPS, etc)...

'Look'? 'Screen look'? Or something with 'layout'? Usually, 'skin' or 'theme' is used for something like this, both those words are tabu :-)

JdGordon:
skin isnt taboo, theme is though

Why not 'skin' then? With the file name extension 'skin' or 'skn'.

Ste-:
Custom menu area/list
because basically thats what it is ?
with extensions being .cma or .cml ?
