UPDATED: iRock WPS for iPod 5G

[Yotto]

After rereading the first post, I can see how you may think that the Album Art patch may not be needed, but it is.  The patch is required even if you have no album art to display, because without the patch, your RockBox doesn't know how to even check for album art, so it displays the code thinking it's supposed to be displayed.

[Atheistic Freedom]

Thank you Yotto for clearing that up.  Of course, I always have to learn the hard way

no question, just a comment, this is f'n sweet, i mean, it is nice, its clean, and displays information as needed, does it still require hold?

i don't understand your question...

do you still have it set to use the hold switch to "toggle" the display

[Sweet Spot]

Yeah, you do. But if you want I have reversed the code so that it displays the battery and volume info while not on hold. However, I'm also using his older wps, the one right before he created the playlist icon, so make sure to save the current wps if you plan on changing it, in case it doesn't comply with the new version.

both vesions of iRock are available on Abondar's site

and for reverting display regarding HOLD button position on iRock v1, see post n°7 page 1 of this thread

this will invert the displays (w/ HOLD = calendar, clock & playlist ; w/o HOLD, vol + battery info)
and your OF vs. on display
i could see that there is still the top of the battery icon which is visible...

can you show me which line/lines to change the just change the X ON XX to X OF/OUT OF XX, please and thank you

I think it's the "on" I have marked red in the quote that you have to change. (To "of" or whatever you want)

[KatManDEW]

Can you point me to the directions on how to install this theme on my iPod?

Thanks.

[Sweet Spot]

So you wound up purchasing the iPod eh Kat ? *Loves pointing out the obvious* 

The process is the same for every theme. Just unzip it to the Rockbox folder. Some people when packing their themes, create a redundant folder calle Rockbox, so you might have to look out for that from time to time. In that case, just move all the other files to the appropriate places... Such as "backdrop" or Wps, make sure there aren't redundant folders, and only use the ones which are located in the original Rockbox folder.

Did you download the album art patched build, to take advantage of Album art ?
