I am aware that it is very easily fixable by the end user - if they understand these things, and am currently using it with forground color set to black... but if it is to be considered as a default setting, it really should be newbie proof.
but I do agree that it would make an excellent default WPS screen... Not perfect, but a very polished and profesional look for an equally excellent firmware.

I really like the iCatcher WPS. I use the album art version on my H320 and boy does it look nice. :) The graphical icons are the best I've seen.
The date is missing from this version though. It could fit easily between the bitrate display and codec icon or possibly on the same line as the genre or album in parentheses. One other suggestion would be to move the current track title above the progress bar so that it appears with the artist, album and genre. I'd personally put it directly below the artist. Good job and isn't Rockbox great. ;D

I am just saying that these things are details that can be discussed be developers and users before a CVS commit. I agree that there can be a slight modification if needed.

Thank you for your comments and suggestions. I really appreciate it and I am glad you like the WPS.
Now, about the backdrop issue. This is not a WPS issue at all. It can happen with every theme (not WPS) that does not specify a backdrop. IMO, whenever you load a theme, if there is no backdrop specified, then the right behavior should be to clear the backdrop. Unfortunately this doesn't happen and AFAIK you cannot clear the bacdrop via a .cfg file. A quick fix for this would be to specify a plain white bmp for backdrop, but of course this wouldn't be the appropriate approach.
For the contrast issue, I tried to match the text colour with the grey colour of the bars, but if this makes the text difficult to read for some, then yes, the text will have to be changed to black.
Also, I'll soon upload some alternative colour themes (just like what I did with the album art versions).

Nice looking WPS's you have created there.
There were some discussions some time ago if we should ship a default wps with the 3.0 release. I think this is a very good looking approach, and I would definitely prefer to get this as the default wps as opposed to the current one(s). Not that I am in the position to decide such a feature of the 3.0 release, but if this would be the default theme, maybe it should be in more Rockboxish colours for the colour targets.
Just some thoughts, and I am looking forward to seeing this at least shipped with Rockbox by default (not necessarily as the defualt :))
