In this round of Modifying A Theme I Like, I decided to go with AdwaitaPod. I didn't necessarily want to improve it, rather I wanted to use it as a base for my own theme, having the bases of many special features that I haven't begun to deal with. I always wanted to get a circular theme on Rockbox, and seeing it is possible to "cover" the album art with images I bit the bullet. At first I thought of making all the bars circular as well, but aside from it requiring me to create a truckload of bitmaps for each of them, there would be less place to put texts (text behaves badly when it's overlapping an image), so I shelved that idea for now.

Still I am honestly surprised how well this functions and how this hasn't been tried yet (at least those uploaded on the theme list). It offers a unique look based on a neutral theme of AdwaitaPod. The interesting thing here is that the cover art is slightly out of frame, which is somehow possible. This allows me to have more empty space as well as making it visually interesting.

So far I've only tackled the WPS screen to get the design concept right, but I do want to make it a full theme eventually. I'm uploading it to get feedbacks first. Please enjoy!

Note: If you're not using it with AdwaitaPod, make sure to use a light theme with pure white background, otherwise the background/text won't look correct.

This is a masterful modification of adwaitapod! Visually this is a really unique theme, great to see you took advantage of the album art setup to have anti-aliasing on the circle (I think it really adds to the high-quality feeling of the theme.) It would be cool to have the progress bar circle the album art but that might be a bit hard to achieve given the scale. But all in all excited to see where this leads! If you used the skinned lists feature, you could probably achieve a circular menu of sorts (if you want any tips/pointers let me know)
