New To Themes- Tagging/Placement/Font Color Help

<< < (2/4) > >>

bascule:
You are going to have to post a screenshot, as I don't really understand exactly what the problem looks like.

The problem may be that the WPS is designed for a custom build (maybe with album art?) which may be affecting the way it works.

And from the (iPod Video, I'm presuming) manual:


--- Quote ---Set Foreground Colour:
Sets the colour used for text and icons.

You may be better to work through this tutorial before you start hacking into a more complicated WPS

I took the bitrate and filetype tags and stuck them above the progress bar (right under the ID3 tags) and it seems to have fixed it.

The only question I can think of right now, is how on earth do you change the system font? From what I can tell, there are no color tags of any kind for font.

I am really just trying an experimental design right now, just so I can get my feet wet and know how to design a theme and wps. It is just I ran into a few problems I did not understand.

I guess the file also records any spare spaces you may have? More pickey than HTML.

The overall font for Rockbox can be changed via the Display settings (provided you've downloaded the font pack ;) )

And I believe the font colour can be changed (see above post), but again it is a global change. To change fonts/font colours on a line-by-line basis requires application of patches or a custom build.

It only displays what you tell it. Some people use additional spaces to position text where they want it, as the display is quite character-placement-driven if you are not using the fully-graphical approach. It's not just whitespace :P

See this as an example of what can be achieved without using a single graphic...

zacdl:
See, the H10 manual didnt say that is what the purpose of foreground color was.

But both foreground color and background color were the only things I saw that delt with color. So I set both to black. In my configuration file:

foreground color: 000000
background color: 000000

bascule:
I'm surprised you saw anything!

EDIT: I've just looked at the latest online versions of both 5GB and 20GB manuals and both state exactly what I posted above...
