Nano 2G Theming Problem

[1337david]

Hi I just installed Rockbox on my iPod Nano 2G and I am very happy.
But I have a problem in that album cover art doesn't appear and the "While Playing Screen" theming doesn't work and is very unattractive. I installed the correct themes for my iPod as far as I know. Could someone give me a hand with this?

Please be more specific. What does "correct themes" mean? By which means do you know it's the "correct themes", and more importantly, that the theme is compatible? How did you install? And which version of Rockbox did you install?

I installed from the RockBox utility and installed the themes from there.

Which theme(s)?

The current release of rbutil seems to install the wrong theme version, but the SVN version and website give the updated themes:

It doesn't seem.

The syntax for the theme files has changed after 3.6 was released. The current release of Rockbox Utility doesn't know about this, and to make life easier it always installs themes compatible with 3.6. This obviously means that those themes won't work with current builds. This problem is fixed in svn and a new release of Rockbox Utility should be available in the not-too-distant future. Feel free to use an svn binary of Rockbox Utility from the link saratoga mentioned.

There *is* a reason why I've asked about the version of Rockbox installed. I would really appreciate answering such questions in the first place, I'm not too motivated guessing (and writing longish explanations for things that might not apply to the current question).

Okay thanks for your help, that solved my problem.
