Basically, it has had no testing other than myself and 5 min from [St.], i need to know how useable it is and what else needs doing to finish it.
If you are keen to help then come into irc and we can sort out a build for you and get you going.
edit: The patch as it is is pretty capable, you can for example, have a completly different styled list for the file browser than the main menu (which I imagine most people would want if they use a grid for the menu)

Thanks! I know how to compile, and how to to create theme, (I created the "Irock" theme for SANSA FUZE) so I guess I will manage about that.
If I'll need more help I'll come into IRC.

Haim: Sorry about the quietness on IRC lately, I put some time into the patch tonight and i tihnk i've got most of the bugs out so if you could help test the new patch that would be awesome :)
Assuming I have got the bugs out I want to make a push to get this into svn so really any feedback would be muchly appreciated

JdGordon: I wasn't at home last week so I could not answer, I'll check it out now.

I agree here. Since we have now have two targets (Cowon D2 and m:robe 500) with touchscreens, and now the Android and Maemo builds (also touchscreen targets), a grid menu for those targets would make navigation and use a lot easier.
Since there's talk about separating the components of Rockbox into their own libraries, perhaps if we separate the current gui code off of the rest of Rockbox, we can implement this as a feature built for such targets?
JdGordon:
Silly lambda :) The patch above will hopefully be in svn for the next release and a stock grid skin will follow.
