New Clip Zip Theme Won't Display
« on: April 19, 2012, 01:50:18 PM »
Easy on me I'm new to rockbox. I downloaded clock_lock2_zip theme to my Zip but for the life of me I don't know how to get any display but the default showing.  I had to manually install rockbox but I used the utility to import the new theme.  The theme shows in the themes folder choices in the Zip but when selected as the theme nothing changes.  Any Ideas.

Do you have all needed fonts installed?

I checked in the font file for the font that goes with the Clock theme and it was there, there were only two font choices available..  I chose that font, the display changed and now its the only font file available in the folder and its not a great font for the default theme and the original font file is missing.  I'm confused.  There we're only two font choices in the folder now there is only one.  How do install the whole batch of font files.  I suck at this.

RockBox utility would be a good method.

Use the Rockbox utility to install the Font Pack. Or install them manually. You will need the font pack to install any current theme. There is no need to set the fonts on the player. The fonts are hard coded in the clock & clock_lock theme so the fonts won't change if you change them in the settings.

There isn't a font pack for the Clip Zip yet, so you'll have to build it yourself or wait until there is one. (I think this is one of the few things keeping this port from being "stable")
On second thought, the issue I had with the font pack is that using RButil still doesn't work for the clip zip, but just download it from the manual install page.

All versions use the same font pack i believe.

Here's a direct link to the font pack.

Thanks for all the info.  The font file wouldn't load from the utility for some reason, kept getting the http 404 message, but i just opened the font zip file and copied and pasted all the fonts into the Zip font file and presto.  Again thanks for all the help.
