JustJohnny:
Hi all,
Thanks everyone for your feedback. I've been gathering comments from people on the various devices, and still plan to make changes to improve the theme--just as soon as the rest of my life relaxes a little.

I recently tried the svn version Rockboxed on my h120. I think it's too dark, especially the black bar at the bottom. Comparing it with the ipod mini the reason is quite clear: the backlight of the h120 is too low to make this look good. I played around with the graphics a bit, especially by adding greyscale and mimicing the look of the color version of the progress bar. I ended up with something like this -- what do you think? Also, IMO the battery looks strange the way it changes from black to white.

hey bluebrother, could you take a photograph of your h120 with a current svn build of the theme and post it next to your modified version in your post. It helps when I can see what the screen actually displays. The simulators are great, but not perfect.
For the progress bar on the mono color versions of the theme, I have to admit I got a little lazy by the time I was modifying the theme for them, and started using the default progress bar. I like your version.
The battery should be solid white for a full charge and then the white fill should shrink from right to left, leaving an outline of the battery around 0% capacity. Is this what is happening?

That is with the backlight enabled which makes it look quite ... dark.

If you want to I can post my version somewhere. The first time I looked at the theme on my player I didn't like it at all, but when I had a look at the color version I knew why ;) Which made my try mimicing the color version a bit more ...

Yes, but that's confusing -- I would expect it to be the other way round. Which is why I added greys in my version -- it's much clearer in the color version.

I'm liking the greyscale version. It would be good to put it on the Wiki.

Ok, coming from designing it in color, and not having a grayscale device, it seemed natural to me, but real usage trumps my preconceptions :)
If you could post your version to the WPS tiwki page as Bascule suggests, either as a separate entry or place it within the rockboxed entry, I will create a patch to get it into the svn builds.
Thanks for your help and interest in the theme!
jaybeee:
what d'ya think about adding the tracknum or playlist info?
Would be useful imo :)
