UPDATED: iRock WPS for iPod 5G

[gaston]

hi all, here is my little contribution to Rockbox for iPod:

iRock WPS for iPod 5G

update here



- displays 100x100 cover art when available, takes full screen width for text only if CA not available (Thanks to MrMec)
- date, clock and playlist info + icons become accurate volume and battery info + icons when HOLD button is ON
- colored volume scale
- animated battery icon when under charging
- HDD activity virtual LED

enjoy, and give me feedback !

thanks to LuiSiLLo for image hosting address

Merci!
Ce WPS me manquait comme j'ai changé de lecteur mp3 (h300-> ipod )
I simply love it!

Hi Gaston, very nice theme. I really like the brightness and colour scheme/icons. A few details I'd like to note for you however:

I can only get the time to display on the 24 hour format, no matter how I actually set it. Both 24 and 12 hour display 24 hour format.

Secondly, I really like seeing what my volume is (neumerically) as well as how much battery time is left. But the only way I can get those items to display, is by putting the unit on hold, but then the light goes out, so it's redundant.

Thirdly, and a VERY small gripe, rather than the playlist count saying 3 on 49, I think it should say 3 OF 49 or 3 OUT OF 49. 

Nice stuff.

hi SweetSpot

1) i don't understand why setting does nor act on clock format ; and the WIKI is currently down, so i can't check if there is a specific writing for that, sorry

2) 3)

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...

I would like to know the font size in this wps because none of my unicode fonts fit  so im looking for a font that displays japanese for this wps...

Also it would be cool if the date/time & the battery info could swich automatically like every 2 seconds, insted of when the hold is put on.

Otherwise its a very nice wps, i even customized the background of the player beause i dont use album art and white is plain.

[gaston]

the font used for iRock is delivered in the zip
i don't know about unicode...

personally, i designed iRock first for my H340, but got bored of the blinking display of info every 2 sec... that's why i prefer to have permanently displayed the date, clock and list, and if necessary to have accurate vol. and batt. info by switching HOLD on.
that's my point of view, you can modify the .wps as you wish

These are available in the .pdf manual, which you can access via the daily builds page.

Hey, thanks Gaston. I'll give that a whirl.  My knowledge of the code is limited and I WILL read the instructions so that I can change what I want but, do you think it would be possible to include a line of code which would make it possible to have the two things alternate, at  an interval of say... 5 seconds ? This way, both forms of information would be available and one wouldn't have to rely on being in or out of hold position ?

[ryran]

If I'm understanding you correctly Sweetspot, there's already wps code for that.

[Sweet Spot]

Word. Thanks Ryan, now all I have to do is learn how to read agian.

would the original ipod font be possible?
