Also, anyone who has the latest build, download the new darker progress bar, and drop it in the "Applebox" folder in "WPS", replacing the current "progbar.bmp".

edit: I did update the whole thing, but if you already have it, you might as well just download the Progress bar by itself. However, I agree, so I got rid of it.

If they are then it's all good and it's just the iPod LCD, and I know about the apple so that's fine.

Great work!

edit: Are you thinking of some sort of backdrop for your theme?

edit2: Nevermind, I'm an idiot. :P

fatherfork:
haha, i was wondering if you would figure it out. :D

Will you be updating this to use the new album art system?

On a different note, this is my favorite skin, so I used it to learn a bit about how to create wps's.  I made a couple changes and additions, and while it's admittedly not as "clean" as the original, I opted for a bit more information on the screen.  Would you mind if I posted this "modified" version of your skin to the site when it's done?  I will of course give you full credit for doing all the "hard" work, but I though that others may like some of the changes I made.  I don't know what the protocol is for this sort of thing -- I'm just trying to contribute a bit.

If you're okay with me posting my "Modified" version, could you tell me what I would need to change in order to have the name show up differently in the wps list?  I tried adding onto the "Applebox" name in a few spots, but it didn't work on the iPod, so I'm obviously not changing the right things.  Exactly what changes do I need to make so that it shows up as something like (for example) "Applebox - Larry Mod" (I want to incorporate your original name so that it's clear that this is based on your theme.)

Also -- what's the easiest way to generate the screenshots that you post on the wps gallery page?

UPDATE:  I read up on the "Screendump" feature, so I figured out how to get the screenshot.

Thanks -- and thanks for the excellent theme,

Larry

I "think" I figured this out based on an example I read in Senab's thread.  The problem is that I can't test it since my album art is all embedded in my files, and since Rockbox isn't able (yet) to use this art, or the art files that the native apple firmware uses.  All I know is that using my modified theme WITHOUT album art works fine.
