Theme no longer working for mrobe 500
« on: September 02, 2011, 02:31:54 AM »
the Mrobe 500 has two themes available, http://themes.rockbox.org/index.php?target=mrobe500

it worked up until I updated my player to 3.9 (I think)

Has any of the WPS code changed or can it be something wrong in the actual code.

chansthename,


It's up to the theme author to keep the theme(s) up to date.

Sadly, themes often get uploaded and then left to rot (and will eventually be removed from view in the theme site). My only suggestion to get this fixed in a timely fashion would be to download the theme(s), fix it/them yourself, and re-upload it/the to the theme site.

I would almost guarantee that it was this commit that broke it. The theme syntax may look daunting to a person who is new to it, at first...but it is actually a very simple language to learn.

If you would like, I would be happy to assist you in fixing the theme(s), but in the spirit of "teach a man to fish...etc." I would hope that you would at least attempt to fix them yourself first and contact me if you get stuck.

Using PMs to annoy devs about bugs/patches is not a good way to have the issue looked at.

thanks, that's what I was after, something new that would make it not work.

I am the author of one of the theme and have contacted the other author. I will work on fixing it tonight and if I need help, I'll post it here)

thanks for showing me the commit.

EDIT: all done, there was 2 lines to modify. it was the change from &ffw and &rew (which would only function with a long pres) over to the new ffw,long_pres and rew,long_press

There are a lot of new functions, sometime after my exams I should experiment to improve the theme :)

Anyways thanks again, all works fine now :D
