Hey guys,

I wanted to ask, how would I go about changing Rockbox's bootscreen image from the yellow Rockbox logo on the top over the white background, to, say, the logo shown on Julius' blog (http://pijulius.blogspot.com/2006/05/custom-rockbox-boot-logo-for-ipod.html)

I've read through a few of the threads here, but I'm an amateur at programming, so I don't understand everything.

I've stumbled upon this: http://www.misticriver.net/showthread.php?t=52672

Which links to a program that can auto edit the rockbox.ipod file for you in order to change the boot logo. The problem is that I can't find the yellow Rockbox logo to overwrite (it looks for that).

Can anyone help me out, or wouldn't mind if I send the current rockbox.ipod file I'm using and re-compile it for me with the boot logo of choice?

Thanks in advance for your replies.

As you can read on Julius' page you need a patched build for using the fullscreen logo -- a usual official build won't have a fullscreen logo and of course the logo swapper won't find it.

So, either use an unsupported build or build Rockbox yourself.

I've read the wiki about doing your own Rockbox build, the problem is, I can't do that. Like I said above, I'm an amateur at programming and have very limited experience. If anyone would like to help edit my current rockbox.ipod file to run the boot screen, please help.

The thing is, the current build that I'm using is apparently the best one I've used. The Senab build has a few issues, while the daily builds are similar to what I'm using

You cannot edit rockbox.blahblah, that is the point.  You need to edit the source code then compile to generate a new rockbox.blahblah

Well... Its out of my capabilities to do that...

Just so I don't have to start another thread, I'll ask it here:

Are there any plans to have a sleep-mode for Rockbox like the one on Apple's OS? I was thinking because a few people I know use the Apple OS once in a while, but use the Rockbox firmware more frequently and don't want to go through the hassle of rebooting the iPod just to get back to it.
