A newbie question about style

Hi to all,
i have an iPod nano 1st gen. I would think of switching to Rockbox, but the important question i would say to you:
There is a theme that permit me to have the EXACT look like the original apple firmware? Fonts... colors... dimensions... icons... and so on.

Forgive me for the eventually too newbie question :)
Thanks to all for the wonderful effort

Febs:
If you look in our WPS Gallery, you will find a number of themes that closely resemble the original iPod firmware.  The original firmware uses antialiased fonts, which Rockbox does not support, so there are no themes that are an exact duplicate of the Apple interface.

I see, many thanks.
Why rockbox doesn't support antialiasing? It's a feature will be implemented in the future?

Llorean:
Rockbox supports custom backgrounds. The fonts in the Apple firmware are very likely prerendered with faked antialiasing, whereas it would be necessary to perform this process realtime in Rockbox for it to look any good. Because of the nature of these devices this isn't really feasible without a significant hit on battery life and probably playback performance.

@Llorean
If i've understood correctly:
The apple firmware uses some kind of "colored" fonts (that is grayscale antialiased). So eventually i would be able to use in the WPS the recreated antialiased colored fonts (recreated by me)?
Have i understood correctly?
