Sandisk Sansa Clip Plus: Simplest theme progress bar cut off

[cafink]

I recently installed Rockbox (3.13) on my Sandisk Sansa Clip Plus.  I am very pleased with it so far, and found a theme that I really like, "Simplest" (http://themes.rockbox.org/index.php?themeid=1334&target=sansaclipplus).  Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to display correctly on my device--the bottom of the progress bar is cut off on the bottom (so I only see its top and side outlines).  I checked to ensure that the font and other files required by the theme are present.  Does anybody know what would cause this issue?

Thanks.

I can't say for certain that it will fix your problem, but I can say that you absolutely shouldn't be using the release build.

The releases are well over two years old now, you're missing out on a fairly vast swathe of bugfixes and feature additions.

There's no real reason to do releases anymore, because mainline is generally stable for all supported targets and has been for a long time.
Please update to a dev build and retry the scenario. A lot has changed since then.

Thanks for the suggestion.  I originally installed Rockbox using RockboxUtility.exe.

I just tried updating to a dev build, but I don't think it worked.  I used RockboxUtility.exe again, but selected "development build" from the dropdown, and clicked install.  Everything appeared to work, but when I started up the player, it still says "3.13" when it boots up and on "Rockbox Info" screen accessible from the main menu's "System" option.  I then tried (again using RockboxUtility.exe) uninstalling Rockbox altogether, and installing the development build from scratch, but again, I get the same results.

Is it normal for the development build to have the version number from the last release?  How can I be sure that I'm actually running the latest development build?

Hi cafink,

I guess it's a bug. I had the same problem.

To display the slider properly, you can modify the file simplest.wps in the theme.

Replace:

%pb(0,0,-,-,-, slider, slider_image)

With:

%pb(0,0,-,8,-, slider, slider_image)

(8 is the height of the slider in pixels).

You should see it entirely now! Hope it helps.

Yes, that fixed it!  Thanks for your help.

7 is even a better value for me. It leaves a little more space with numbers below...
