Converting an ancient WPS theme to work with modern tags

[LambdaCalculus]

Digging through some old files I had, I found an old WPS skin that I used to use on my Gigabeast; the theme is so old that it's in the WPS graveyard:

I liked the amount of information that the WPS used to display, as well as the large album art display of 200x200, so I took a CLI tool I found on the site (I don't remember which page, but the file name is skinupdater), and ran the .wps through it to convert it to the more modern tags. However, I think it still needs some work.

Album art doesn't display, and I have to manually set the font (which is an easy fix in the .cfg file for the WPS). Here's the code that I have:

Yes, it's messy, but I do like the theme and want to make it viable again.

Perhaps I can reach out to the original author and see about also getting it properly licensed, updated, and maybe even add skins for FM radio and recording.

I'll give it a shot.

This is just a WPS, so you'll have to set it under settings -> themes -> while playing screen -> Aurora2.

Thanks, the skin works fully now.

I'm going to contact the original author and ask her about licensing it under the required CC license so it can go on the themes site.

The original author has given her blessing for the theme to be updated and licensed under CC-by-SA, so it can go onto the theme site now.
