320x240 - Working on CenterArt v2.0, need design advice

<< < (2/7) > >>

Yotto:
You can't see it in the image, but the track duration (the center of the 3 "time" numbers under the progress bar" will switch to ">>" "<<" "||" and "[]" where appropriate to signify each non-play state. Showing "play" is - in my opinion - redundant as you can generally hear in that case, and see the time counting down.

Thanks for the input!

TexasRockbox:
Maybe replace the empty space with a 100x100 generic picture of a CD?

Serenity:
If the box stays, a larger clock display would help me more than a generic picture, but that's personal preference.  I understand there's already a clock in the lower right corner.  My MP3 player is usually my watch as well, so I use the Clock plugin constantly.

I really like this theme.

Yotto:
@TexasRockbox: I'm not big on "space eating" pictures. It feels like I'm using up an area that could be put to better use with *anything* but a random image.

@Serenity:
Thank you! I like the theme as well :)

I actually use the clock a lot as well. I have my iPod in an arm strap, so I put the clock where it is in the theme so I can look down at my left arm and see the clock without too much trouble. It's upside-down but that doesn't seem to pose too much of a problem.

If you'd like, I can whip you up a "clock" theme. Or, if you're capable of adding clock code you want to replace the "playlist" code which is the very last line in the WPS. I don't believe you can make the font any bigger, sadly. From what I understand of Viewports you can only have two fonts at a time on the screen, and one of those fonts is the tiny default font.

karashata:
You could use images to make your clock bigger, JDGordon committed a patch recently that allows the clock tags to be used as conditionals (thread is here), so you could even make your clock look like pretty much whatever you want.
