I stumbled over this after purchasing a e280 (doing such a thing in 2021 reveals that i am a rockbox addict)

Thank you!
Well, the original turntable background is from the Samsung YP-R0, I re-used it without Samsung's permission :-X
From what I recall I originally wanted to get it changed randomly at each new track but I couldn't get it work as intended with the theme engine (no 'random' tag) so I finally decided to make it rely on the codec type.
If you are interested, I also made a "Dark Edition" upon request of a Anythingbutipod.com forum member many years ago. I never uploaded to the theme website but I can share it of course. It looks like that:

I wonder if you are still available for updates? I recently added RDS support to the Clip+. I modified your FMS to display %ty and %tz (using your SansaClip FMS as a base), but I think my update is rather hackish and can be done more reliable?
Old:
--- Code: ---%s%ac%?tt<%Tn|%?Tn<%Tn|searching...>>
--- End code ---
New:
--- Code: ---%s%ac%?tt<%?ty<%ty%tz|%Tn>|%?ty<%ty%tz|%?Tn<%Tn|searching...>>>
--- End code ---

Thanks for adding RDS support to the Clip+! I can remember being quite excited when reading here many years ago that it would be somehow possible to add RDS support to the SI4700 chip which doesn't support RDS officially.
It's a shame that it took so many years between the 1st attempts and patches and your recent commit since I don't use my MP3 players anymore now but better late than never. I just tried it and it works well ;D
Your code can work but:
- If there is no RDS name, there won't be any RDS text displayed (but it's quite unlikely that the FM tuner would get RDS text but no RDS name...)
- According to my test today, line scrolling doesn't work with RDS, which seems to be confirmed here https://www.rockbox.org/wiki/CustomWPS ("Scrolling lines can not contain dynamic content such as timers, peak meters or progress bars."). From what I recall, line scrolling for RDS used to work on some targets but not well. I assume someone removed it entirely later.
This means that if you put RDS text just after RDS name on the same line on such a tiny screen, you would probably never see the RDS text (or only the 1st characters).
Almost 10 years after the first version (!), here is a new update of my theme :D
I put RDS name and RDS text on 2 different lines and also added RDS name to the mini-player of the home screen.

As I understood it, SanDisk always used a RDS-capable SI4702 on the Clip+ but never wired the interrupt line.
So, one couldn't just copy the ClipZip code but we had to implement a polling mechanism.

Yeah, it is a pity. Not much was missing since the last version from Amaury Pouly but, yeah, somebody still has to finish it. Thank YOU very much for still testing it and updating the theme after all this time and even when not using MP3 players anymore!

Well, yes, I can confirm there is no scrolling. A little weird, because with my hack with radio name and radio text appended, it used to scroll just fine? Maybe I'll have a look, dunno. Thanks for the pointer!

Thank you so much! I like it a lot. And such a super-fast update! Great commitment from your side :)
STEELBAS:
Hi, I used your theme in combination with Christian Soffke's Interpod theme (https://themes.rockbox.org/index.php?themeid=3151&target=ipodcolor) to make something I called Interbellium. I'm still testing it, and it doesn't include any modifications to remote screens or FM screens, but I figured I'd show it to you. Hope you're okay with me uploading it to Rockbox's theme page eventually.
