320x240x16 iPod Video Theme (Terminal) - Feedback Request

(1/3) > >>

jtrodriguez:
Was wanting to make a theme that was terminal/ncurses looking after looking through google images for ideas I stumbled across a screenshot of VLC ncurses and thought that layout would work perfectly for the iPod Video here is the result.

Main Screen Nothing Playing


Recording Screen


While Playing Screen Unlocked... Shows Playlist and Battery %


While Playing Screen Locked... Shows Song Details, Album Art, and Time
Edit: If you wanted to stick to a true terminal feel it wouldn't be that hard to remove the album art and list more info/statistics instead :)


Random Menu Screenshot



Before I post this under the themes gallery I would really appreciate some feedback/suggestions


Notes:
I was wanting to have the details/album art appear on the main menu screen when locked but it is rather buggy http://forums.rockbox.org/index.php?topic=24409.0

I was also wanting to have the details information displayed if the playlist was empty but I dont see anyway to get this working.

The WPS song details on lock/playlist unlocked can easily be switched with a comment/uncomment if you want.

Edit: I am not sure if its my iPod or all but the color is not nearly as vibrant on the iPod screen #55ff00 if someone knows of a better shade that comes out vibrant please let me know.

Edit: Reworking this theme quite a bit just stuck on what information to put on the details section in place of the album art since I am moving it..... anyone have any suggestions I am looking at Track: 1/??, play count, rating, and auto score but they dont seem to be working for me... always display 0.... I am guessing they are based on the database which I have yet to initialize.



UPDATED VERSION SS:

Main Menu Screen


Rockbox Info... 30kb Ram Usage


While Playing Screen.... Playing


While Playing Screen... Paused


While Playing Screen... Hold On



Once again any suggestions / comments would be appreciated... will probably upload this theme later tonight after I finish tweaking it.


Theme is now uploaded just waiting for some feedback :)

I like this theme but when I use it it does not look like what you described.

What I see when a song is playing:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
track#: Song Title
Artist
Album

current time of song/total song time                          total playlist time
avg bit (id3v2.3)
(a graphic bar showing where the song counter is)
(a peek meter)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I am unable to change anything to look like what you are describing.  :'(

Any ideas?

Thanks.

atsakir:
What you're seeing is the fallback default rockbox theme that appears when the theme you're trying to use fails to load for some reason. I'm guessing you're either missing a font (Adobe Helvetica 15) or the rockbox version you have installed on your iPod is the 3.5.1 release and not the current build (r25758) required by this theme, or both. Download and install the current build and the font pack and all your problems will magically disappear :)

k0balt:
Yes, I am currently using the 3.5.1 release.

Oh, I see what you saying. This theme, as specified on the "terminal" theme page, states that it only works with the current build and NOT the 3.5.1 release. I did not see until you mentioned that.

Are there any issues with using the current build? Is it safe  ;)

karashata:
The current builds should, more often than not, be fine, especially if you're installing to a target that's been supported for a while and is considered a stable target.
