new theme (kinda): retroTape
audio-i:
Well there were auto reverse decks, so it's not so weird after all. But I like your audio reversing solution :D
There are a couple ways to change the tape direction movement I still have to try, if any of them works and looks good enough I'll update the theme
[Edit] In the meantime, I seem to have a Gigabeat port almost ready*, but since I don't have a Gigabeat near, and the simulators are a bit outdated + I can't build my own at this moment, it would be a great help if it could be tested some more (recent build required since it uses multifont and the %Lt %Li tags). For this port I resized the ipod video version and used the screen left for the inlay card, which is were the menu titles and menu icons tags come really handy in order to make clear you left the WPS (playlist viewer) and are browsing the menus. I'll submit the theme if everything is in place and working OK

Just gotta say this was a fantastic job. I saw this theme even before I got a Fuze and I was so hoping I'd get a V1 Fuze to Rockbox so I could use this theme. Now that I have one, I can say this theme is fantastic. I literally grinned from ear to ear upon seeing it work.
audio-i:
I just uploaded to the theme site the Gigabeat version. It requires a recent build that handles multiple fonts and the %Li and %Lt tags.
I also experimented a little bit to simulate the real tape direction, and it did work using the %px tag. It uses a LOT more buffer, because instead of just loading two images for the progress bars (as it is now), it has to load 40 times that, so besides leaving the buffer usage on the edge, it wouldn't work for the 320x240 and 220x176 3.5.1 releases. But even if that wouldn't be an issue... I just didn't like it. Yes it simulates the tape real movement, but it just feels odd going exactly in the opposite direction every progress bar does, it's confusing and therefore in my opinion, not worth the change.

Gonna be cheeky and maybe ask for a sansa e200 port ? it would really push the constraints of size tho!
Love the theme and glad to see it back again and on many different devices!

That would be a very difficult one, I think I would have to leave that one to you ;)

On a second thought, maybe it's just me, maybe it's that I'm used to the first version, so I'll put this version for the iPod video for a couple days here ( http://www.fileden.com/files/2008/2/11/1754365//retroTape_v2.0beta.zip ) if anyone wants to give it a try and help decide
Edit: A current build is needed
