New Theme Upload Troubles (carbon)
« on: March 30, 2015, 02:15:40 PM »
Hey everyone..
So I made my 2nd theme and i spent prob 6 months on it on and off and it's done (so I thought)
When I went to upload it I got some error messages I will post below. Can anyone offer advice on what I should do ?

Quote
•Invalid dirname: .rockbox/wps/carbon+/ (should be carbon.)
•Filename invalid: .rockbox/wps/carbon+.sbs (should be carbon.sbs)
•time format is not a allowed theme setting.
•More than one .sbs found (.rockbox/wps/carbon+.sbs, .rockbox/wps/carbon.sbs).

The key problem is I integrated a second base skin into my theme..

I can't do that I guess it seems and I think I will have to branch it off into two diff themes.

Here is a pic of what the theme looks like by default.



And here is a pic showing the second base skin applied (shows now playing data on menus with that)


While I am at it I might as well post what the WPS screen looks like.



edit:
I split up the theme into 2 separate themes now and I got them uploaded ok it seems :)
I changed the doc's a little and re-uploaded the sources.zip file and posted a new link below..

I might as well post the two theme zip files here while I'm at it..
http://go4up.com/dl/40cc4de65be3/carbon_3.14.zip
http://go4up.com/dl/e43571164bd3/carbon_plus_3.14.zip
(go4up is a Multiple File locker hosting service)

So I hope I did everything ok, I made a solid effort.

Either you're using an invalid character in your file names (+) or you have packed two themes into one file...

I see what the problem is but I posted to see if there was a way around it with out having to change my theme.
in hindsight I probably should not have bothered posting here I kind of already knew the answer..

so Yes I did include 2 SBS files so the upload wizard flagged my upload with the two sbs files error
and yeah the plus sign char is not allowed in the path I guess (I found that out the hard way)

so anyway I split up the theme into two separate themes now and I will give uploading another shot I think.
I also tweaked a few things like a last minute time display bug and a proper path etc and cleaned up the doc's (in my source zip file)

I am thinking I should update my first post though with updated links or just remove theme.
I re-read this sections guidelines before I posted because I have not been in the forum for a year or two.
I don't think this forum section is suppose to be used a Theme gallery of sorts but I wanted to post my sources zip file somewhere here (if it's allowed)
It has various bits of info on how I made the theme and PNG files that would make editing or adding more icons etc a lot easier.
so..
You guys think I should make a new topic to post my theme with the sources .zip ? Or maybe edit the title here ?
Anyway i'll figure it out regardless and wish me luck uploading I am going to try doing that right now.
