Ok I have been working on this for about a day and all went smoothly till today. To keep from multi posting on my part I'll number them and you can answer the numbers you know.

1. Whenever I pause then play again, the pause sign stays there behind the play.
2.For some reason the progress bar will only go up to a little over half of the box when the song is done. I've tried resizing the box(as you can see), but still doesn't work.
3.I can't find the scroll margins patch in the tracker and I would like to know the command to set the margins for a line.
I am not done with the wps yet, but in the end i think it will look very nice.
On a side note, I have no idea why, but in the sim for my 5g 8 nor up arrow seem to perform the menu function. Is there anything i can do to fix this?
That is all.

1) I assume your play button is a bunch of Pink with a green arrow (Not the superhero!) in the middle.  Change it instead to be the REAL BACKGROUND of the WPS with a green arrow on it.  When you switch from play to pause, the WPS overlays the play on top of the pause, but won't cover anything that's pink.
2) Don't /know/ this one without seeing the code, but is there a chance you have the numbers wrong after your progress bar in the code?  Maybe it's absolute start and end, and you thought it was absolute start and length?
3) I don't know, as I've never done them, but when I do I plan on perusing those WPSs that use them.  You can find them in the wiki.
4) 8 isn't menu.  Period is.  No, I don't know why.  There's a batch file that came with the simulator that runs it with a "border" that shows you the keys you can use.

And the part of the pause that shows is The yellow part.

I'm going to do some snipping

Code: [Select]

Okay, I think I see the problem. What I THINK you mean is "40 tall, start at 106, and be 164 wide"
What you are actually SAYING is "40 tall, start at 106, stop at 164"
You likely want:

Code: [Select]

%b|40|106|270|

And the part of the pause that shows is The yellow part.

I don't quite understand this.  Is it like a one-pixel-wide line to the right of the play that keeps showing?  Your screen shot doesn't exactly show it clearly.  If that's the case, then I"d say your play button graphic is one pixel less wide than your pause graphic.

See in the upper left corner?

Post your "play" bitmap.  Not a cut/paste from the screenshot, the actual bitmap out of your wps/whatever/ directory.

That's what I thought.  Re-read my first post here.  Where I said to replace the pink with the actual texture from your background image.

[BigMac]

but according to rockbox, 255 0 255 is the transparency color....

Correct.

the graphics don't REPLACE EACH OTHER.  They COVER EACH OTHER.  Except where there is transparency.

So:

You pause.  Pause graphic gets painted.
You play.  Play graphic gets put OVER THE PAUSE GRAPHIC.

Trust me. That's what's happening and that's how to fix it.

[BigMac]

I'll try but itll be hard considering the background isn't a solid so getting it to blend in might be hard:-(

What do you mean, your background image changes?  Or you mean you haven't decided on a background image yet?

One idea would be to make them "buttons" like many WPSs do.  Check out the black glass variants to see what I mean.  Therefore, you have a round (or square, or octagonal.  Go to town) area that you totally overwrite with each button, and each button totally covers the others.

[BigMac]

I never said it changes... I said it'll be hard because i have a picture in the background is a texture so replacing the pink with a coloro would make it look bad.

Then don't replace it with a color.

Replace it with THE TEXTURE.

Actually copy that exact piece of texture out of your background image and put the play button on it.

Like so:

Code: [Select]

+-------+
|texture|
|texture|
|texture|
|texture|
+-------+

plus

+-------+
|       |
| PLAY  |
|BUTTON |
|       |
+-------+

equals

+-------+
|texture|
|tPLAYre|
|BUTTONe|
|texture|
+-------+

I hope this shows up in your browser as a proportional font.

I can't seem to get scroll margins to work and it doesn't matter how low i put the battery the icon still shows 3 bars (all other problems in the wps have been fixed by now). Please help
