New wps "DOS Blue" and "ubuntu" for iPod Video 5g

[David Marsh]

I've made two wps themes one called "DOS Blue" and the other "ubuntu".

If you'd like to try them and let me know of any bugs or glitches and post them here.

Many Thanks.

The Ubuntu theme looks great, but why is the 'ubunutu' at the bottom right of the first screenshot so fuzzy?

Looks great...but will we get a BSOD every now and then?

The ubuntu logo and text were an image I copied from the ubuntu libraries and scaled down, but the text was originally black and so I filled the text areas with white.  Althought GIMP will attempt to colour anti aliased pixels too I guess it ddnt do a very good job.  I'll see if I can smooth it out a bit.

Maybe I should make a Blue Screen Of Death theme

I actually tried a BSOD theme, and the problem I ran into was making it look like a BSOD enough *and* contain easy-to-read info.  The easier it was to read, the less it looked like a BSOD and vice versa.  I gave up.

I've tweaked the menu image, hopefully it looks a bit better (I need to redo the screen shot though).  I also made the status bar area a lighter colour to give more of a highlight.

I modified the Ubuntu theme to fit a nano screen.  I don't have write permission in the wiki and I doubt I can get on at a time when I can get permission.

If anyone can volunteer to upload it for me, pm me and I'll send it to you.

Also, blue screen of death theme would be awesome.

Don't want to be a stickler (oh.. well apparently i do.. ) but the bsods came with windows...

I have updated these themes to cater for the RTC (Real Time Clock) patch http://www.rockbox.org/tracker/task/7001 which changed the date/time fields.
The .wps files have been amended and a new .zip for each has been uploaded.
