It is actually xpmule who is doing the theme. Im just trying to help with the coding part. I do make themes, but mine are for the iPod video.

cereal_killer:
oh sorry mixed up the nicknames *lol*

i figured out the coding part mentioned and i finished making changes to the theme
and i don't wanna brag but i think it looks pretty tight :)
The last thing I'm doing is converting the tango icons, i'm not happy with them all
needed to find a work around for the fact that Adobe Fireworks does not handle
32bit bmp's at all lol
So what i have done is use Infranview to pump out the 24bit version with alpha channel
and use fireworks with that and i don't see any difference really in the icon set
between 24 and 32bit under ultra zooming in (3200x) so i'm just gonna create 24bit icons

I'm going to post the code snippet i used for the shuffle and repeat icons
improved i think over the default theme because now you won't have to mess around
adding a default icon into the backdrop it can simply be apart of the strip with the others
i tested this a lot and it works perfect..

shuffle code

--- Code: ---%xl(D,shuffle.bmp,0,0,2)
%V(125,4,16,11,-)
%?ps<%xd(Da)|%xd(Db)>

--- End code ---

repeat code

--- Code: ---%xl(E,repeat.bmp,0,0,5)
%V(155,3,11,13,-)
%?mm<%xd(Ea)|%xd(Eb)|%xd(Ec)|%xd(Ed)|%xd(Ee)>

--- End code ---

changes coordinates of course ;)

Anyways i have made endless tweaks to the icons etc but i think there done
and i added the strip of icons from the WPS screen to the main screen now too
and the radio screen looks fine i don't see any need for changes.
I will upload the theme soon and if anyone wants to use any part of it for any reason
i would be flattered and happy to share :) ..I decided to call the theme Seek 'n Destroy
because the skull in the backdrop was released a looooong time ago by the group
SND (Seek N Destroy) a software reverse engineering web group. few people know where the
skull image comes from but its used widely across the net for many years (smokeskull.gif)
A lot of people over the years have used the picture as an avatar on web sites.

Here is the final look of it (except i may change the Tango Icon set a bit ?)
(right click view image etc.. to see bigger pic)


I have always made my mp3 collection album art a minimum of 220x220px because that was to make sure my album covers were big enough for the sansa fuze+ default firmware so again for this theme you need album art for your files at least 220x220.

I've gone to extreme lengths to verify everything was aligned properly
although i don't know how this screendump feature works yet.. I've been simply hitting
my "Print Screen" key and pasting into Fireworks the screenshot.
And if anyone wants the Simulator picture seen in my pictures i uploaded here ya go..
http://www.multiupload.nl/W20Z4MNAZ7
just extract this new .bmp over top of the old one in your simulator folder.

Lastly i have read the Theme guidelines and made sure my theme adheres to the license.
And when i submit i will add the png's for the bmp's in case people want to tweak the theme to their liking. for example someone could tap on the Rockbox text on the png and delete and re-save the bmp if they did not like/want that part etc.

edit:
I moved the preview images to the first comment.

Below is a preview of the new Icon set based on free/public set called Glyphish
columns 1 & 2 are UI icons and column 3 is the viewers icons.


edit:
Version 1 uploaded now.

I uploaded the whole theme but I don't know if I can submit the zip file with the stuff i have in it currently ?
I'm guessing i should remove the PNG's first. Also is it ok for me to submit a theme zip
with that AA font inside ? (came from the AA font pack download @ Rockbox.org)

amayer:
The system wont let you upload a theme that has fonts from the fonts pack in it. you just have to put something like "REQUIRES suchandsuch.fnt" in the comment.

you should try and keep the stuff in a theme zip file to the stuff you actually need in the font. some people unzip the theme right onto their device and dont look at it. so if you have extra stuff in there your just taking up space on someones player.
