Converting an ancient WPS theme to work with modern tags

(1/1)

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:

http://www.rockbox.org/wiki/WpsGigabeatFGraveyard#Aurora_40updated_for_Viewports_41

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:

--- End code ---

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.

sockbox:
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.

LambdaCalculus:
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.

LambdaCalculus:
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.
