bobbydriver:
Thanks for the link to the c script - can you recommend a windows C compiler that will create an executable from it?

I downloaded lcc-win32 but it won't compile - throws lots of errors.

bear in mind it's been 20 years since I last compiled any C code...


EDIT

Don't worry - I'd not added the other two files into the project - I now have a compiled exe file. Will report back if it works


SECOND EDIT

It seemed like it ran OK but the new wps and sbs files are just full of this?!

Did I do something obviously wrong?

C is not a scripting language.

Use gcc.

bobbydriver:
OK - I can't make any sense of the GCC stuff

I'm not a developer, so unless anyone knows why the skinupdater executable I compiled is filling the "new" wps files with ÿZZúÿZZú then my rather straight forward question is this:

How does a non-technical person (ie someone who is not in a position to start setting up C dev environments) who has a custom skin easily convert his custom skin to run with the new versions of Rockbox?

Here you go: skinupdater executable and source (r26887)

The syntax is: skinupdater wps_name.wps wps_new_name.wps

Each of your .wps, .sbs and .fms files need to be updated.

bobbydriver:
Many thanks for this MC2739

That works a treat in so far as it outputs the sbs and wps files in the new format

Doing a file diff on the skinupdated files and the ones that I manually updated according to the new spec showed up a couple of lines that I missed, so I was hopeful that this was the answer

However - when I load the new theme it still doesn't work (just displays the standard rockbox non-cover art mono theme instead)

Hmm- what can be wrong with my theme?

EDIT
Sorted it - I had renamed everything in the theme as v2 but not created a v2 sub-directory with the images in the WPS directory

d'oh! as they say

Many thanks to everyone who helped me out
