Nice theme aaronfg! It rocks!

[aaronfg]

cool, glad you like it.

It's just a modified version of the ipodFun theme that stuffedspacedog made: http://forums.rockbox.org/index.php?topic=2589.15

The icons all came from that theme. I added the new bg image with the "rockbox" on top and added some other small tweaks, as well as the backdrops.

I'm thinking about making somesort of Mario/Nintendo theme

Please do.  My time is all booked up now trying to get a nice chunk of the built in themes/wps to work on the 5g.  iAmp5G is almost done!

I made a zelda theme that you can grab here:

Just load the theme file.

Some other backdrops are in there too, without images.

Hmm tried to edit a theme for me from that, works well, but when I start the music I get pauses, like every 7-8 seconds or so. Now I tested that Zelda theme without editing it, and I get the same pauses. Must be something with the theme? When I switch to one of the standard themes, I don't get the pauses.

Full color themes require a good bit of CPU juice. Since a lot isn't yet optimized, they may hurt playback quality, especially on the 5gs.

Strange.  I'd say 90% of my music is Q7 ogg or higher, and the only pauses I get is if I scroll fast through the file browser, or bejeweled.

Edit the .cfg for that theme and get rid of the background image.  See if you still get pauses.

[Llorean]

Actually, background images *probably* use less effort than all the little smaller images. This is just a guess, but I'm fairly certain they've got some efficiency in the way they work.

Another thing: OGG generally runs a good bit faster than MP3 of the same bitrate on iPod, at least in my experience. So that may be why yours are okay.

I use MP3 and my music is fine.....i have the Zelda styled theme right now. Also, i will release the mario theme later today at 5PM (GMT -5)

[Harshboy]

Ok, soon i will post the theme...but i have noticed that after about 3 minutes of Gameplay in Rockboy, the iPod freezes and reboots into Rockbox....this is not a complaint, but im just wondering if this happens to others. It does it to all the games, on some games it varies the time until it freezes...i have the 021706 build right now.......on the 021506 build it didnt do this, so someone should look into this.

I just realized I never included the font I was using in that Zelda theme.

Whoops...

I've updated the zip file to include the font:
