Sansa Clip+ Themes: hornet_top & hornet_bot ==> replaced by theme hornet

[HornetMaX]

EDIT 18/04/2011: see the reply to this message for a new theme (hornet) replacing the two hornet_top and hornet_bot.

A couple of themes for the Clip+. The difference between the to is the position of the status bar: top or bottom.
Notice that the position is hard-coded, it does not honor the rockbox setting: I haven't yet found a way to do that, see note at the end of the post.

HORNET_BOT: http://themes.rockbox.org/index.php?themeid=1340&target=sansaclipplus

COMPATIBILITY:
Works with 3.8.1 and r29712. In FMS there's a %tr, so for sure it won't work prior to r28559.
It needs the Font pack. Version history in the .cfg files.

CREDITS:
Theme clock_lock2 (Clark Locke) for the large clock shown when player locked (good idea).
Theme Pony (Nick Peskett alias nick_p) for multiple icons.

FEATURES:
Status bar (top or bottom):

• Battery indicator: it honors the rockbox setting graphic/text. In graphic mode, it blinks for a while to text.
• Charger / USB indicator (guess USB one is for future stuff)
• Volume indicator: it honors the rockbox setting graphic/text. In graphic mode, it goes text while changing the volume.
• For WPS: repeat and shuffle icons.
• For FMS: signal strength icons, stereo/mono/not tuned icon.
• For REC: like default rockbox status bar.
• Disk access icon and lock icon (they use the same space).
• Time of day (24/12 mode according to setting).

WPS:

• 1 line scrolling title (or file name).
• 1 line alternating between Artist and Album (Year).
• Progress bar with current time and total time (song)
• Codec, sample frequency and playlist info (e.g 3/13)
• CBR/VBR, bit rate and ReplayGain infos (- = off, ? = no tag, A/T/AS/TS for Album, Track, Track shuffle and Album shuffle respectively; NC when Prevent Clipping is active; when relevant, the above info will alternate with the current replaygain value).
  
• Peak meter
• When locked, only status bar and first two lines (title, artist/album) are left, the rest is replaced by a large clock and date.

FMS:

• Progress bar.
• Large frequency.
• Preset number/name.
• Scan/Preset, Stereo/Mono, Signal strength
• Here too I've coded the large clock/date when FMS is locked, but I'm unable to lock the Clip+ in FMS (and neither in REC), sounds like a bug.

MaX.

NOTE:
I've been unable to make my status bar appear on top or bottom depending on the rockbox setting. This because of one major missing feature in the syntax of the theme language. Actually I have found a way to do that, but the resulting theme is too big for the Clip skin RAM.

I've managed to have a single theme with the status bar configurable (top or bottom).
The theme is called hornet and replaces (with a few minor differences) the previous hornet_top and hornet_bot.

I've done some really tricky stuff in order to have the theme fitting the 49Kb max allowed on the Clip+.
One of the tricks is to remove all the comments from the theme files, making them highly unreadable.
In case someone is interested, I can PM or mail the files with comments.
There are also some tricky %t(0) to prevent redraw issues.
And of course, the theme is large (45.4Kb) because I had to duplicate a lot of code in order to handle the top/bottom status bar setting.
