Doppelgaenger - my first theme for Sansa Clip Zip

[electric_indigo]

This is my first post, so hello everyone! I've been using Rockbox for 3 months and I think it's briliant. I also really like the theme which ships with Sansa Clip Zip's original firmware, so I decided to try to reproduce it on Rockbox. Here is my first attempt http://themes.rockbox.org/index.php?themeid=1741&target=sansaclipzip. Any suggestions are welcome.

I like it. Cool Background color and Fonts.

The "Backdrop: " in the theme.cfg is buggy, imo, I've been doing a little poke'n&hope'n

When "Backdrop: " is used I have to do a settings menu [Clear Backdrop] to change themes.

 I delete the "Backdrop: "  in BLU.10 and it fix the changing theme issue and it still did the blue Blue Backdrop.  .

When deleted the line in Dopple, I losted the orange background.  However, it seem to fix scrolling text in the status bar.

Good day your theme rocks you are now on the 92% of cloning the clipzip OF now playing screen  . can you manage to make it transparent?

P.S.

I dig some post to the other forums to give you a hint

Btw I change the Icons to make it more attractive

Updated to 0.12, some cosmetical changes.

@Crafty:
Sometimes a reboot is needed after setting the theme to reload the backdrop.

@al3rd:
Yeah, I've seen dfkt's efforts to create semitransparent “panels” and managed to obtain the same result as him. Unfortunately, it's exactly as he says: It's impossible to go one step further because there are only two framebuffers or “layers” available. However, it's possible to place the text directly over the album art, but with some images that would be unreadable. So I decided to use dark gray panels' background as I find this color quite neutral; you can change it to whatever you want in Settings/Theme settings/Colors/Background color.

Hey electric_indigo,

Maybe you didn't notice but several themes including yours are no longer working due to new theme engine restrictions introduced in January 2014: http://git.rockbox.org/?p=rockbox.git;a=commit;h=4e1c690

I fixed your code in WPS (line 96). See the file in attachment.

Would be nice if you could update it on the theme website   

[electric_indigo]

Fixed. Thanks for your help.

The backdrop bug is fixed in the daily builds I think, fyi.

Hi electric_indigo,

I love your Doppelgaenger theme, but would like to change a couple of things.  I've spent quite a bit of time playing around with it but was unable to get it how I wanted.  I'd like to replace the Battery Icon with numeric % on all screens and I'd also like the WPS screen to show the time elapsed/time remaining & progress when ff'ing/rew'ing.  Would you be able to help me figure out what I need to change to make this happen?  Thanks!

[electric_indigo]

I modified the battery display. Adding the percent sign would require rearranging/redrawing icons, because the battery viewport is too small.
See the attached files to figure out the differences with the original theme (section “battery charging and level”). If you are new to theming, I recommend the manual.
Where would you like to place the time display?

[timo4476]

I did read through the manual and played around a bit with your files to see if I could figure out how to make the changes that I wanted and was unable to figure it out.  I was hoping it might just be a quick & easy thing to make the changes, but it sounds like that probably isn't the case.  I'll just look around and find a theme that has the items I'm looking for but maybe isn't as visually nice as yours.  Thanks for taking the time to respond!
