112x64x1 (Archos) theme: ROCKboxed--please review and test
JustJohnny:
I've created my first theme for ROCKbox. I have a 1st gen. Nano, so that is the original target device. I've started modifying it for use on other devices.
The theme is available on the Archos WPS gallery pages of the wiki.
Please try out the theme and let me know what you think. I'm particularly interested in testing the progress bar and battery icons.
Does the progress bar fill the outline at the end of a song? I was having some difficulties while testing this with the uisimulator. Also, the battery icon disappears at certain levels. Does this happen on an actual device?
The inspiration for the theme is the Rockbox logo. Comments are appreciated.
ROCKboxed, version 1.0
Icons along bottom: volume, shuffle, repeat one, play, and battery level.
Other screenshots can be found on my personal website.

wow, no longer have an Archos to test with, but I'm impressed that you were able to miniaturize it to that level. I know from experience that graphical WPS on that device are hard to pull off.

Thanks Peter200lx. It was basically a complete overhaul of the graphics and code. Instead of having a backdrop with icons on top of the status bar section at the bottom of the screen. It ended up being a row of icons lined up and sized to fill the width of the screen and the height of the status bar.
Plus I knew the most of the icons needed to be made a little smaller. I wasn't sure if I could keep them looking okay. Overall I'm happy with the way it's turned out.

Nice that you also made this theme for my device! :)
One thing I noticed though while looking at the screenshots you posted in the wiki:
I do not like that the statusbar in the file browser/menus is switched off too and I don't understand why you chose to do it this way. The information given there is quite important and it's good to see this as long as music is not playing (even though it takes away a line on the small display).

Thanks for your comments pixelma.
During my own personal use of rockbox, I find I spend most of my time looking at the WPS screen, so for me the statusbar isn't needed while making song selections, or changing settings. Plus, I just don't like how the statusbar looks in the file browser/menus.
Other people have mentioned that they like having the statusbar turned on, so maybe I should not set the statusbar to off in the config. file.
