rename the custom statusbar stuff!

JdGordon:
fml: Skin sounds like it could be making people think its more than what it is. the name needs to say its not the skin/theme for the entire rockbox, just most of it :/

Ste-: well, its really not the menu/list area that the theme manages, its the stuff that surrounds them.

hmm... "base skin"? then we could use rbs for the extension :)

karashata:
I'm kinda thinking "UI skin" myself, "base skin" doesn't seem to roll off the tongue too nicely for me... I think a .rbs extention would work nicely still either way.

BlastTyrant:
Custom Info Skin (*.cis) ?
Menu/Info Skin (*.mis)

It might not directly control how the WPS itself looks, but it does have an impact on on how the WPS is viewed on the screen - since it's viewed alongside/with the WPS on the WPS screen.

Just my $.02 to elaborate on this a little more.

JdGordon:
From discussion in IRC we are going to go with "Base Skin" for 3.5 and leave the sbs extension (skin base screen or something), the important thing is to get a better name than custom statusbar.

And yes, you are correct. in fact you dont even need a WPS at all, you could use a blank .wps file and rely entirely on the .sbs.

fml2:
This might be a bit too late, but what about something with 'frame'? Since it's exactly what it is, i.e. the surrounding for the menu/lists/WPS.
