Rockboxed - gigabeat - proposed revisions

JustJohnny:
Hi,

I've started working on revisions to the Rockboxed theme for larger screens.

Thanks to everyone who have made suggestions.  Currently the two most requested theme changes are:

1) To much blank space, add some extra information to the screen.
2) The yellowish-orange (or orangeish-yellow) background color is horrible, maybe a lighter shade of yellow.

Here some screenshots,  Current in the builds and my proposed revisions.

CurrentProposedProposed by MannequinProposed iPod like next song icon
I'm not sure I like the animated next song information. I'm thinking perhaps having a static next song title only.  Which next "Next Song" icon do you prefer? The combination play button pointing to line, or the fast forward button pointing to line. I think the first looks a little better, but the second reflects the "Next Song" button image found on my iPod nano.

JustJohnny,

again, i think your theme is great and really "suits" the rockbox "mood".

my opinion about the changes:
- current "orange-yellow" (rockbox logo color) looks way better than the proposed "lime-yellow".
- date / time - very nice addition, looks good
- animated next artist/song title gets my vote
- i'd try to go with nimbus-14 (19 looks too big for the music folders)
- codec info followed by bitrate might be nice (mp3/192kbps)

Peter200lx:
I'd agree that the original background color is better. (At least in my opinion)

I agree with  everything you said.

I still prefer the current one, nice and simple.
