Is a theme such as this possible?

Mr530:
no no, i meant like have custom premade 320x240 backdrops that correspond with certain files.

Llorean:
I personally am not a fan of features/functions that serve to do nothing but look pretty and make my battery life worse. But i'm sure someone will end up programming this eventually.

I tend to agree with you, but as an intellectual excercise, since the WPS themes already support setting a background image, I'm not sure how this would actually decrease battery life. This is probably not something I would use, but it just seems like, since the album art patch exists, and WPS already support background images out of the box, I just hought that supporting a hybrid of these two functionalities shouldn't be super difficult, is all...

Yotto:
You can *almost* do it now.  Have you tried using a combination of full-screen album-art and scrolling (%s) text to hopefully lay the text over the images?

I haven't, of course.  Just giving you an idea.  I'm all for bling, but I'm busy trying to eke more battery out of my ipod by clearing the screen.  It seems to only give an extra 20 minutes though (I did two battery drain tests, one normal, one blanked, and the blanked screen lasted 6:40 while unblanked lasted 6:20.  Not sure if that's worth not having a screen.)

mnhnhyouh:
To properly implement this patch would require a small txt file stored in the albums directory that would be read so the theme could assign a text colour that looked good against the album art, and was readable.

Not my cup of tea, but I think many might like such an idea ?
