Uploading a theme fails for Clip+ - unable to recognize Font (resolved)

<< < (2/2)

Chronon:
You are probably better off filing a bug report against the theme site on Flyspray.

sockbox:
Thanks. Bug filed.

-- update --

i think i figured out why the validator is rejecting our
themes. it's because it really doesn't fit; it doesn't leave
enough room for the radio screen. Though the themes will
work when playing your music, it will crash the sim if you
try using the FM tuner.  You'll just end up with a blank
screen on the player.

jouhou:
Good news everyone!
With a recent commit to svn (#27613), there is a new skin parser that increased the allocated RAM for skins on the Clip+.

The new skin parser is on physical devices as well as the "checkwps" validator program that we were having issues with on the Theme website.  The daily Windows builds of the simulator have also been updated so you can try testing your theme again.

My theme now does not exceed the skin RAM limit for the Clip+; the simulator doesn't crash when going into FM Radio screen anymore; the checkwps validator allowed me to upload to the Theme site.
new: old:

Even though the skin RAM limit was increased, the amount of RAM required for my skin increased substantially. from 12KB->26KB  but the limits went from 13KB->53KB


sockbox, you should try your skin with the new rockbox builds to see if it fits into the RAM now.

sockbox:
thanks. time to load up the fonts!

but keep in mind that those who are running an older build
on their player will not be able to use your theme. thats probably
the majority of the users out there. you might want to
put that  the latest build is required in your theme description.

I just tried loading extra fonts onto my theme and the reaction
is too unpredictable to be usable on this latest build.
