iPod Video "Cabbie 3.0 Mod" Theme Editing Problems

(1/1)

bridabom73:
I have an iPod Video, and I'm using the "Cabbie 3.0 Mod" theme. There were a few things that I didn't like and wanted to tweak about it, so I thought I would just edit them with the theme editor. I haven't had any problems up until now. I changed the color of the icons, rearranged the title, album, and artist, and added the time and date. Those all went well, and everything was fine. One thing about the "Cabbie v2++" theme that I liked was that there were more increments on the volume icon than in the third version, so I thought I would add that into my edited theme. I changed the bitmap, and I didn't have problems with that or with edition the code in the theme editor. The changes worked fine in the .sbs file, and there was nothing wrong with the volume icon. However, when I go to the WPS, it is all messed up. I went back and changed the volume code back to what it was originally, and it was all fine. It's this one piece of code that is messing up the screen, and I don't know why. I took the code from the v2 theme and edited it appropriately for my current theme, but it gets messed up for some reason.

(They're pretty bad quality because I took them with my phone, but they're good enough to see that something is going wrong with the WPS.) The first picture is what it looks like before I change the volume code and what I would hope it would look like after I change it, and the second picture is what it looks like with the bad code. Here is first, the good code, and second, the bad code. Since I'm not very experienced with this stuff (I've only been using Rockbox for a few weeks), maybe someone would be able to find something wrong with it that I could fix and make it work. It works in the v2 theme, and I copied it directly, so I don't know why it isn't working. The only thing I changed is where the icon is placed and how many increments there are (v2 uses 36, and I'm only using 35 because the icon in this theme is one pixel narrower than the one in v2).

--- Code: ---%xl(V,volume.bmp,0,0,9)
%V(121,186,33,47,-)
%?pv<|%xd(Va)|%xd(Vb)|%xd(Vc)|%xd(Vd)|%xd(Ve)|%xd(Vf)|%xd(Vg)|%xd(Vh)|%xd(Vi)>
--- End code ---

--- Code: ---%xl(V,vol.bmp,0,0,35)
%V(121,186,33,47,-)
%?pv<%xd(Va)|%xd(Vb)|%xd(Vc)|%xd(Vd)|%xd(Ve)|%xd(Vf)|%xd(Vg)|%xd(Vh)|%xd(Vi)|%xd(Vj)|%xd(Vk)|%xd(Vl)|%xd(Vm)|%xd(Vn)|%xd(Vo)|%xd(Vp)|%xd(Vq)
|%xd(Vr)|%xd(Vs)|%xd(Vt)|%xd(Vu)|%xd(Vv)|%xd(Vw)|%xd(Vx)|%xd(Vy)|%xd(Vz)|%xd(VA)|%xd(VB)|%xd(VC)|%xd(VD)|%xd(VE)|%xd(VF)|%xd(VG)|%xd(VH)|%xd(VI)>
--- End code ---
(volume.bmp is the original bitmap with only 9 increments, and vol.bmp is the one with 35 increments. I also put a page break after %xd(Vq) because I didn't want the page to be too wide, but I didn't put that in the actual code.)
I would be very grateful if someone could help me out and help me get it working. I'm sorry if this was a long read or confusing to read. Thanks in advance for any help you could give me. Anything is appreciated. :)

EDIT: I should have mentioned that the volume icon works as it should in the WPS with the "bad" code. It's just that the top portion of the screen doesn't look at all like it should. I don't know why the volume code affects that, but it is the only negative side effect of the "bad" code. Everything else is fine.
