At first, I wanted a WPS that looked like the original iPod screen, then I started realizing how limiting it was. First, why does that Apple screen flip to a screen with only a slider when you adjust the volume? Why flip to another screen at all? I know they probably wanted to keep the main screen uncluttered, but they have yet another screen for rating your songs, then yet another for a blow up of the album art (and then another for lyrics, which actually makes sense to me).
My current WPS is rather cluttered, but it has a graphical volume indicator, battery indicator, lists genre and year on a line that alternates with codec/bit rate and playlist position, shows cover art, and even has a line showing you the next song that will play. All on my tiny nano screen.
I'm guessing that once you have the iPod look, you're going to want to get away from it. If you wanted an iPod clone, you would've stayed with the Apple firmware and not even touched Rockbox.

Actually I really think all he likes is just the While Playing Screen. Not the menu and stuff.

What i like, and i would like to maintain of the original firmware, are the icons, the good fonts, and smoothed grey look. All the rest i would personalize. And actually the only thing that stop me to do the switch is the fact that i can't use antialiased fonts in rockbox.
Llorean:
If looks are more important than playback quality and features, you're probably best sticking with the original firmware anyway.

I don't understand how this is a difficult decision. If you truly believe the Rockbox features are better, can you not live without smoother fonts?
