Sure.
The lazy route, the absolute minimum you could get away with, is kludging 48px of empty space onto the bottom of the sbs and wps backdrops because the backdrop images must match the device's framebuffer exactly. That would 'Just Work' with zero additional changes but would leave a large-ish area of empty space on the bottom of the theme.
The slightly more technical route if you wanted to even that empty space out slightly, and what I would probably do with this, is to add 24px to the bottom of each backdrop image and 24px to the top of each backdrop image (but underneath the status bar strip), and then to drop the y axis down 24px for all the affected viewports and touch areas. Effectively distributing the 48px of additional empty space across two areas half the size.
However, honestly I don't think that taking the 'lazy route' described above would look that bad at all or even be particularly noticeable.
Looking at the theme source just now, either are very simple tasks.

EDIT: looking at it again, the album art could probably be adjusted to absorb the additional 24px of 'extra' space, it could even be adjusted to absorb the entire 48px of extra space, but that does two things. It worsens the memory requirements, and makes adjusting the theme to suit a bit more complex than simply pushing everything down 24px.

Wow. Thanks for that quick and detailed reply.
I will definitely give this a try.
I would have to add the space on the sides of the image not the bottom.
EDIT: It worked! :D
I just extended the two backgrounds to 768 and it works perfectly. The theme is shifted towards the top left but it's barely noticeable with only 48 extra pixels.
Thank you so much and you too ZincAlloy for this!
Rockbox is absolutely the best player for android (especially sound wise). I flat out refuse to use anything else.

I was using a galaxy nexus and playback was fine although some albumart did not load.
I am not using a phone with a 768x1280 display. Can I just edit the theme files for the 720 theme to work with the 768 resolution?

I updated Rockbox and it works for me as well. Funny. I don't think this issue was supposed to be fixed ;D
I've updated my first post. Album art is enabled now.
JapaneseDrunkard:
I would like to make the rockbox rockdroid bundle.
It is a single apk file that consists of:
1. latest rockbox
2. rockdroid 720x1280 (your excellent theme!)
3. japanese font
Is it OK?
ZincAlloy:
Sure.
Do you have a suitable antialiased font in the correct sizes?
JapaneseDrunkard:
Thanks.
Yes, I have one.
Take a look at the screen shots.
Letter 'g' has a problem under the baseline,
but it is not a big problem for us Japanese :-)
