The purpose of this thread is a place to describe the theme in more detail (to do) and collect bug reports/ feature requests.

The font included is DejaVuSans-Bold;

It was rendered using the "-L" (lighter hinting algorithm) option. *

• First version.

v1.1

• Remove RDS text from FMS until it's less buggy.

Recently got a Sansa Clip and tried all the themes. This one does just what I need: no images, good readability (not too small) and very nice fonts.
Excellent stuff.

I have found one quirck: when (un)locking the keys in the WPS, the message is not fully cleared. (Just checked v1.1, but seems to be the same there.)

Thanks for that pkuiters.

I've uploaded an updated version where the WPS text viewports completely cover the background, so no gap should be left of the un-refreshed background.

Bit of a hack really, but it seems to cover up the underlying bug in Rockbox. I really ought to report it when I get a chance.

Thank you for the theme, it's very good. I have found just one problem: when connected to PC, it doesn't work properly - the icons are wrong and sometimes freezes after removing. Thank you for an update (if possible)...

Thanks Ptepic.

I think this problem is related to the general problems with USB on the AMSv2.

It seems themes with custom fonts in the status bar in particular cause more problems.

Personally I boot into the original firmware when using USB at the moment.

I think any attempt to pare down the theme status bar to the point where it didn't cause any more problems would mean too many compromises.

I considered writing a patch to unload the status bar on USB insertion, but I've got a lot on at the moment and it might be beyond me anyway.

I think the best bet is to load the failsafe or cabbie themes when connecting USB (or just boot the OF) for the time being.
