new theme (kinda): retroTape

Wow a lot of suggested changes
--- Quote from: cougarten on June 09, 2010, 02:26:19 PM ---a few suggestions:
* maybe you want to fade the counter digits just a bit to make them more realistic?
--- End quote ---
That'd be great, but it's not possible (it would be possible with something like what was done for the clock time tags, allowing conditional custom images displaying, but this is something completely different anyway)
--- Quote from: cougarten on June 09, 2010, 02:26:19 PM ---
* could the volume knob turn a bit further? (down to right (via left and top))
--- End quote ---
That would require twice the images used and I don't think the skin buffer would hold that, even with the recent optimization
--- Quote from: cougarten on June 09, 2010, 02:26:19 PM ---
* I could very well live without the percentage on the battery meter
* a clock was nice, but I'd rather replace the HDD instead of the peak meter (guess I'll do that myself if you don't
--- End quote ---
Like you said, those are easy changes that you can customize for yourself ;)

* regarding the touch-screen mappings I'd suggest this:
...I know it disturbs the "realism" a bit, but it would support blind and finger operation for the most common tasks (next/prev, play/pause and maybe volume)

I don't have a D2, but since your suggestions do not correspond completely to the WPS image, wouldn't it be better for your purposes to use 3x3 grid mode instead of absolute point?
--- Quote from: cougarten on June 09, 2010, 02:26:19 PM ---
* the edges of the "wheels" or whatever spins would look better with a little anti aliasing / smoothing

Done and uploaded to the themesite and the 3.6 site a.k.a oldsite. It's a small change but hopefully good enough.
------
On a side note, there was a problem updating the theme to the oldsite, the confirmation link sent by mail was like "http://themes.rockbox.orgoldsite/www/verifyETC..." instead of "http://themes.rockbox.org/oldsite/www/verifyETC..." and therefore didn't work as it was sent
[Edit] The new version for the Gigabeat has been updated to the "3.6 oldsite". I eliminated the deck view in the menus, mainly because animations do not work smooth enough in SBS, so I included much bigger album art instead.
[Edit 2] The new Gigabeat version is now also available for current builds.

Hi there.
I don't know what I'm doing wrong, but I can't make the theme to work. I tested it in the simulator for iriver H3xx (downloaded from http://rasher.dk/rockbox/simulator-3.6/). I also tested it on the H3xx itself, I had already installed rockbox 3.6. I suppose the correct version of the theme for 3.6 is http://themes.rockbox.org/oldsite/www/index.php , right?
In both tests the wps doesn't load and the menu does not display correctly - no "NOW: track info etc", no date/time. Instead there is the default status bar on top. The previous version suitable for rockbox 3.5.1 used to work fine.
The message from the simulator is this:
--- Quote ---ERR: Failed parsing on line 14 : ERR: Invalid parameter list for token 3: "No to
ken"
Skin buffer usage: 280/407680
ERR: Failed parsing on line 12 : ERR: Invalid parameter list for token 1: "No to
ken"
Skin buffer usage: 78128/407680
--- End quote ---
Below there are screens from the wps and the menu.
So for now, I went back to 3.5.1. But I feel it's a pitty, I like the updated theme so much! Can someone help please, (audio-i maybe?)

Actually, the 220x176 versions (current builds and 3.6) are both the initial ones, I haven't uploaded the new 220x176 versions yet (rounded tape etc), only the 320x240 and the Gigabeat versions have been updated. I hope I will be able to finish the new versions and have them uploaded within the next couple days, I'll post back.
JdGordon:
This theme is awesome :)
I'm fixing up touch regions for all skins now so could you consider wasting less space in the sbs at the top and put buttons there instead for the d2? please? :)
Also any chance you could modify the wps for a fms also? just about all walkmans had a radio back in the day :)

I don't have a D2 (not a radio user) so what I can figure out at this moment is kind of vague, but when there's more free time and the Southafrica World Cup allows it :) I'll surely give it a try ;)
I just uploaded the 220x176 updated version (very similar to the ipod video version), both to the current builds site and the 3.6 site
