320x240x24 arc-en-ciel theme [updated 2015-09-16]

[__builtin]

Hello theunamedguy,
i don't know exactly what you mean. There is no text that supposed to display "Track Info" when USB is inserted.
Are you tanking about WPS or menu screen? And is it in the black or white area?
A screenshot would speak louder than words  .

Thanks!

Well, it's rather difficult to simulate a USB insertion event in the simulator, and a screendump wouldn't work because it wouldn't show the USB connected screen.
So, I (tried to) made a mock-up of the screen in GIMP.
Enjoy the photochop!

This theme is among my top 3 favorite themes. Great work!

Perfect. Now I know what the problem is. Sorry first I thought that you did something wrong. It seems that dis USB screen is  not documented on the WPS-page and something that my device (iBasso DX50) does not have (I could not simulate this neither). So now I ask you for a favor: Can you please overwrite the arc-on-ciel.sbs with the attached file? Then, you would find "screen number xx" on every screen that is not documented. Then please give me the number you have with the USB screen.
As next step, when I have the number, I will provide you the theme with "USB connected".

This theme is among my top 3 favorite themes. Great work!

Thanks a lot for your compliment

Then please give me the number you have with the USB screen

No need for this, the source tells all:

Its 21.

Also, I added this to the CustomWPS Wiki page, and I will push a patch to the manual later this
evening.

I love this theme and i think it is the most beautiful theme for iPod classic, well done
However, i found that this theme could not support some songs with cue.
In WPS, it only show the name of music file but not the song's name, as well as the 'playlist' on info screen.
Could you add support to cue? Thank you very much!

[cholero]

Thank you for your feedbak   (that praise is alway wecome to polish my ego )

However, i found that this theme could not support some songs with cue.

I never tried .cue s to be honest. According to the CustomWPS documentation the Information from the cuesheet sould replace id3 information (so my theme should use them theoretically). But therefore Cuesheet support needs to be enabled. Do you have it enabled and are the .cue's in the same direcory with the same filename as the audio file?
Or: Please tell me how you got it working with an other theme.

But I will try it anyway this evening.

I think the problem was caused by the firmware that i was using.
I have updated to the newest version of rockbox and enabled the cue option again, the WPS shows song's name correctly now.
Anyway, thank you for your response.

A new mod with ideas form Brendanus:
in WPS, Infoscreen
a) show remaining battery time
b) alternate Album and Artist Information instead of only Artist

Does pressing "u" not work?

Only for iBasso DX50/90
Here is a modified version of the theme with a simple workaround for the vertical line on the right end that does not change (bug of the LCD or iBasso firmware). The workaround is very simple: all graphics that reach the right end of the screen have a vertical black pixel row, so the repeated line will be black and this does not bother.

By the way, is there a Cowon D2 owner who uses this theme? How useful are the touch-button on the D2?

Hi.

Just discovered your theme. I Like it. Especially the info screen.

[...]
This is the most well developed, visually appealing theme I've stumbled upon so far, so I'd like to thank the creators for putting in so much time and effort to make it.

Well this might be a bit much, but it is definitely up there with the best ;-).

A few comments:

- When you will upload the theme to the Theme Page, it will complain that "touchscreen mode" is not a valid theme setting. At least it did for my Theme.
  (Ups, just discovered that you allready uploaded it.)
- (DX50) There seems to be a inconsistency with the repeat and shuffle icons and their backdrops: They disappear/reappear seemingly whitout reason when you switch between WPS and Info Screen. This might be intentional. IMHO they should be always visible in WPS.
- Consider Info Screen visible while pause.

Well, I have actually given up on Rockbox and D2. Just to unstable to be enjoyable. But the simulator works quite well ...

It is no bug it's a feature 
please feel free to mod it to fit you taste

I prefer it as it is. But also here, please post a modded .wps here if you like

@ArgelErx:
I know you are running rockbox on DX50, so for the case that you did not see this already, "deho" optimised many D2 themes to work best on iBasso DX50/DX90. It might be worth a try:

btw. he's also a very friendly german guy.

Not sure if it's the theme or the font, but the reported height for the font is weird.
Just try comparing the 2048 plugin with default and this theme.
The space between the text is supposed to be the font height plus a couple pixels, but it looks weird with arc-en-ciel.
See the screenshot for more info.
