new theme (kinda): retroTape
Yotto:
Nicely done with the reversing. This works both in a current build (About a week old, maybe 10 days) and version 3.5.1.
In both, however, there's a flicker whenever the "progress bar" changes. I can't catch screen shots because it's too fast, but sometimes a rectangular section of brown shows up in the "tape-free" area, and sometimes a rectangle of light gray shows up where the tape is. They tend to trade off one, then the other.
This happens both on my iPod (which is on 3.5.1) and my simulator (which is on the daily build). I have no clue what's causing it but I'm poking in the code now because I had an idea on how to reverse the video but I don't know if it'll work, and I want to see how you did it.
*EDIT*
Oh, and I don't think it looks "wrong" at all, and I haven't actually watched a cassette tape in well over a decade :)
*EDIT 2*
I tried my idea and it flickers too. Seems to be the "displaying a conditional image" as I wasn't using a filmstrip. I can't easily update my simulator to the current daily build until tomorrow, so I don't know if something changed in the last weeks or so that will make it not flicker.
I think the current way you do it will be fine with one exception: The tape totally needs to be rounded a bit. As it's a filmstrip, you could add the rounding to each part and make it fatter as the roll fills up. I may put the work into that tonight and if I do, I'll update here.

The link didn't have the updated background, it's corrected now, maybe that was the reason, could you please try again?

Yeah maybe I just got too used to the initial movement :) I've been using this version for a while and now it feels natural, although the movement is opposite to most of the progressbars

Note: I have an EDIT 2 above that you may have missed :)
I just installed the new one from the same link above, and it does the same thing, again both in the simulator and on my iPod.
But I like it enough to keep it even so :)

I don't get any flicker neither on the current build, nor in 3.5.1, although in the latter the skin RAM usage gets exceeded and it seems it doesn's load the volume and battery bitmaps.
Thanks for your interest and help ;)
peaceful1:
can you curve the tape like Cassette-fuze
It well look more real
but even now it's the best 3*3 theme for rockbox( i mean (kinda): retroTape )
