Technical Difficulties

[JasonPinto]

First of let me just say Hello to all fellow forum users!


I've been around here for a while but only now have registered after trying to make my own theme.

The Base Skin is an almost blatant rip off of Hayden Pearce's 'iLike' theme, who is duely credited where needed. With minor changes done by me.

It's pratically done, here are a couple of screenshots:




Currently, I am facing the following issues:
- A Calendar, like the one on 'arboxWidgets' theme, on the SBS file.
Haven't tried it yet, but it looks complicated.

- Showing volume icons where the 'Current Track Time' & 'Remaining Track Time' are, when the volume is moved.
I've tried all sorts of combinations for this and it has by far been the most frustrating.

- The album art on the SBS isn't shown, only the 'No Cover' image that I made. Once again arboxWidgets has this but I can't mimick it.



I'd really like some help from more experienced users. It seems quite easy, I've had other themes do these things but I can't pull it of.

- Link Removed. I will soon post it to the Rockbox Theme Archive.

But I have good news, solved issue #2:

- The album art on the SBS isn't shown, only the 'No Cover' image that I made. Once again arboxWidgets has this but I can't mimick it.

Here was the solution (Line #69)
#-- Album Art Handler
%V(2,104,26,26,1)
%Cl(2,104,26,26)

Changed to:
#-- Album Art Handler
%V(2,104,26,26,1)
%Cl(0,0,26,26)

Well, one day and no replies...

That doesn't mean anything. It's weekend and not all people are active during that period. Besides, there are also holidays in some countries so expect more people to be inactive this weekend than normal.

(and no, I can't help you with your original question)

I understand, here we had a holiday last friday, today is another one and tomorrow there will be another.

But I have finally solved the volume icons problem.
I had to create another %mv string for each Volume icon, because they were on different coordinates from the %pc and %pr strings.

This thread can now be locked.

%xl(c,Volume - A.bmp,0,0)

%?mv(0.6)<%xd(c)|>
