Help me debug my theme port!
gbl08ma:
Oh god. It seems that, in four hours or so, so many replies have been posted (and for me they seem a bit offtopic) that I don't know exactly what instructions to follow. I'm going to do what audio-i suggested and post the results.
EDIT: It seems the file i-audio gave me is working without text disappearing. In the meantime, as my iPod's battery is empty, or at least it reports so, because it says it's 0%, when I try to charge it holding Menu key to avoid entering USB connection, I was getting a PANIC stkov. I tried installing the latest build and now it just hangs (doesn't say PANIC anymore). Currently, it seems the only way to charge is by entering USB connection. Furthermore, I start to think that it's not reporting the battery correctly, as it keeps playing music without problem. I'm going to report this bug and investigate why the battery seems to be at 0% (yesterday it wasn't, and the build was the same) before I get back to theming.

gbl08ma, Sorry to be off topic!

I wouldn't use it, but I am interested in at least seeing it. I definitely prefer coding by hand to any kind of GUI editor in instances like this.

I was talking about was warning for overlapping viewports and other non-error issues that may cause unexpected behavior.
I also haven't heard of checkwps, which may be similar to what I was describing.
audio-i:
@gbl08ma, perhaps you're better off trying things in the simulator. And regarding the file I posted, I just corrected quickly a few things a while ago, but there might be some problems left (i.e. it's better to check everything anyway)

That doesn't mean that there aren't reasons :) But it's a good thing that you're not reluctant to believe things. Just a couple examples:
- The one I gave before (Thin theme). I don't thing that effect can be achieved at the moment without overlapping viewports, but please let us know if what you have in mind works, though.
- Another one is if a certain font has an "excessive" spacing, you might overlap viewports to make the text lines look closer, instead of having to modify the font.
gbl08ma is perhaps right about some things being off topic, but I think there's something important there though, which is the use of %Vf in the same line as %V or %Vl. I did some more testing, and it turns out that putting %Vf in the next line like [St.] says also fails when the text to be displayed has the scrolling tag. Even if there are no overlapping viewports. So, if by design, %Vf should work in a different line, it would be a bug (?)

EDIT: My bad, didn't see that.
[Saint]:
I still can't help but wonder if it's some configuration setting messing things up, or, some totally unrelated factor not present in my device/sim setup.
I've had a small play with using %vf/b both conditionally and with scrolling lines, and I just can't reproduce this.

EDIT: DrewVosburg,
audio-i already linked to this thread several posts ago.
