Is it at all possible to get an old theme back?

[GigaG]

I have a Sansa Clip Zip from maybe about 6-7 years ago, running Rockbox 3.11 with theme "ti83" by Nathan Korth. I unfortunately cannot seem to find this theme on the website today. Is there any way to get it back?

So you still have the Clip Zip with this theme on it?

Can you not just copy the relevant theme files (cfg, wps, sbs) from it to the computer?

I can't find it on the theme website either but I still have it on my computer and Clip Zip if someone needs it.

I don't know if the author deliberately removed it from the theme website. If you want to ask him : https://www.nkorth.com/

It clearly stopped working some time ago (at least by 2014, according to the post below).

Does it have a permissive licence in it?  If so, it could presumably be updated/recreated.

According to the theme upload site:

In line with the spirit of Rockbox itself, all themes on this website are freely redistributable (in both modified and unmodified forms) without any restriction (e.g. commercial/non-commercial) on their use.
 
By uploading your theme to this site, you are agreeing to license your work under the following license:
Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0 Unported License

That's been there since 2009, according to the wayback machine. If it was uploaded after that time, I don't think there is an issue with re-uploading it.

Hum I must be amnesic.

I actually already talked about this theme and issue back to 2014: https://www.rockbox.org/irc/log-20140421

I contacted the author on 21/04/2014:

Hello there,

I wanted to know why your TI83 theme is not available anymore on the rockbox website?

Did you remove it intentionally?

http://forums.rockbox.org/index.php/topic,48168.0.html suggests that it was no longer working. I can help you fixing it if necessary. I already fixed several themes here http://forums.rockbox.org/index.php/board,24.0.html which were broken due to kugel’s commit http://git.rockbox.org/?p=rockbox.git;a=commit;h=4e1c690

Hi!
I guess I was too busy to figure out why the theme was broken. I haven't used my Sansa in a while.
It'd be awesome if you could help fix it! Thankfully, I still have the files https://www.dropbox.com/s/9dmi4j63fs71ko6/theme-ti83.zip

But it looks like I didn't fix and re-upload the theme afterwards 

Will see if I find time and motivation to fix it..

edit: almost done at fixing it!

Now just have to hope the original poster (GigaG) actually comes back to find it!
