Does rockbox support 256 bit backgrounds?

(1/2) > >>

Slerped2005:
I'm very good at making themes, used to make them for pocket pcs, but I must know, does rockbox support this?  I can make my theme look just like it nromally would, and this would free up tons of battery life...

Slerped2005:
I mean 256 color...

The ipod video is another beast, but for a pciture as small as the Ipod nano, 256 colors is perfectly fine.  And you'll free up about an hour of battery life too...

Febs:
How did you come up with that battery life figure?

Llorean:
1) What does screen size have to do with color depth?
2) What leads you to believe that a lower color depth backdrop would improve battery life, let alone gives you evidence enough to be able to estimate how much it would improve battery life on the Nano?

Slerped2005:
I was just guessing, it could be anywhere from 15 minutes to 1 hour...

But i've seen an improved battery life when working on themes for Pocket PCs, and using 256 color backdrops instead of 24 bit...

And obviously, the smaller the screen size, the easier it is to make less colors :-P

EDIT:  The 'improved' battery life on the Pocket PCs was like 15 minutes  ::) but they only last about 3-5 hours, I'm wondering how much of an improvement it would give an Ipod...

EDIT2:  After thinking about it, it's a 320x240 PPC versus a 172x132 (correct?) Ipod.  It may save a WHOPPING 15 minutes of battery life..........
