My first Theme (sansa) :)
« on: March 23, 2007, 08:53:42 AM »
Hi rockboxers

This is my first rockbox-theme, aZure:
Took me longer than I expected o_O
I've got 1 problem with it, the progress-bar goes further than it should. Anyone got an idea how to fix it?

If you've got any suggestions for improvement, just tell me :)

Looks pretty clean.  I like the colors with the white font, that should work in most lighting.

As for the progress bar, I would just copy the background bar and paste into a new image.  Then take that image and color it to your liking.  That way it matches the exact size of the background bar.

Hope that helped.

To fix the progress bar make sure the length on the WPS tag is correct.
%pb|h|x1|x2|
h=height  x1=start pixel   x2=finish pixel      
changing x2 to the end of the border should fix this, otherwise modifying the progress bar image will also work.

Very nice theme by the way, very glassy, I like the glow around the progress bar, however "I has no genre info" sounds funny maybe "no genre info available(found)" would do better?

Thanks for the feedback guys :)

@Nate
I'm pretty sure that the progress-bar image has exactly the same dimensions as in the bg. But I'll recheck later.

@evilg
ah thanks for the info. I've found the positioning tags somewhat confusing.
"I has no tag info" was just me trying to be funneh.  Already replaced it with something decent ;)

Hey DukeLuke,
I really like your theme.  It's the one on my Sansa right now.

I was playing with your progress bar and found the following works:
%pb|10|12|165|171|

From the WPS File Format Specifications, that is:
%pb|height|leftpos|rightpos|toppos|

Hope that helps.  And keep up the great work.  Can't wait to see your next WPS.

Ken

Hi,

I think this is one of the cleanest themes around. It's fresh and uncluttered, well done.

One quick question if I may. Your theme works great but at the top where it should show the date and time I have:

00:m:5c
May d 'yc

It doesn't seem to be specific to your theme, but as this is the theme I want to continue to use, do you have any idea's on how I can resolve this?

Regards,

Rjac.

rjac,
the RTC code was updated recently. To fix this issue edit the .wps file and find the lines that read
   %cH:M:Sc
                %cb d 'yc

and change them to this:

   %cH:%cM:%cS
                %cb %cd '%cy

Well, I've already tried to upload the updated theme some time ago, but the upload applet rejected it for no apparent reason.
You can download the archive HERE

Thanks for letting me know your opinion Rjac, it's much appreciated :)

The progress bar tags need updating.
