Fuze V1 some themes are missing in Rockbox Utility

[williamskg6]

I had a Fuze V2 and grew quite accustomed to a couple of themes.  Unfortunately the player had problems and Sandisk replaced it with a Fuze V1.  After installing Rockbox, I went to add these two themes and they are not present in the list in the Rockbox utility:

Sonata
Cabbie 3.0 in blue

These themes are listed on the Rockbox themes page for the Fuze v1 but aren't listed in the utility.  There may be others missing too, but these are the two I noticed.

are you using the release or the current build?
the utility (hopeuflly) only is showing the themes which work with the build you are using. After 3.6 a major skin change happened so old themes no lnger work.

This was with the most current release.  After updating my player to the current build (manually), the list of themes shows the missing themes.

Unfortunately, the current build has a couple of bugs with album art that happens in all themes.  If you leave the WPS (PictureFlow), when you return the album art is gone - just a big black space for it.  When the next song loads the art loads, but not always correctly.  If a song changes while the screen is dimmed (pretty common), then the album art displays the last one that loaded, not the correct art for the current song.

I wish SanDisk had sent me back a v2 Fuze instead of the v1.  The v2 behaved better for me.

You have to fix the themes and add a viewport for album art (and in some cases also for progress bar). See for example the edits I've done to cabbiev3.wps.

You are completely correct.  I made some modifications to the Sonata (derived from Cabbie) theme and now album art is behaving properly.  I probably made some errors in my modified code, but here's what I did:

Notice that I also corrected a problem with the progress bar not being in a viewport and the clock's minutes tag is now %cM instead of %cm.  The %cm tag displays the month number, not the minutes as was intended.

Please file a bug for the AA problem. there is no reason it should be in a viewport (or it is a bug that it doesnt come back after going into a menu if it shows at all)
