Can't change theme

[|2eM!x]

On my ipod, I can select a new theme and nothing changes..Actually I lied I can put it on rockboxed and the screen turns orange.  Thats it.

Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions? I searched but there is no answer.

Are you accessing the theme on "Browse Themes"?

Have you tried to reinstall the build again?

Yeah thats how I was doing it, going through the browse themes menu.

No I havent tried to reinstall the build, its the first time I installed rockbox on anything and did not expect this need to reinstall.  Is that the route I should take?

You had problems with all themes?

Reset Settings first. If does not solve, then try reinstalling the build.

This actually sounds like it has worked to me. Rockboxed is a very orange theme

Are you saying that you couldn't then read any text or anything in the menus, and that the While Playing Screen didn't show up while you playing a tune ?

As said earlier it seems that it worked...
If you still have the same font as before even in the browser or your WhilePlayingScreen looks misaligned -  then I guess you haven't downloaded and extracted the fonts.zip. Maybe you could compare with the screenshots in the WPS-Gallery (I don't know which model you have).

You can get the mentioned fonts package at the Daily builds page (last item). Just extract it to your player as you did with the build itself.

Yeah it was juts changing the backcolor?

But anyway I downloaded the fonts and that changed the fonts to their correct ones..However why arent the fonts included if you need them to change the theme anyways?

Thanks

Because the manual explicitly tells you to download them, so you know you need them if you actually read.

And if we put them in the main .zip, you'd be redownloading all the fonts when you just need the new Rockbox binaries, greatly increasing the amount of bandwidth that got used.

I actually read the whole manual before I touched the darn thing..So I dont know where I went wrong.

You must have just missed it. It's the 2nd note in 2.2.2:
