Request: 5G iPod theme
« on: April 07, 2007, 11:38:33 PM »
I am looking for one that is easy on the eyes, but able to take the Nimbus-19 font.
If someone could modify DockPod to have a black background, instead of that aqua background, and to take the larger font, that would be awesome, but I don't think it will work out too well.
I'd love for the theme to show battery time remaining, volume in dBs, artist, album, title, and progress bar w/ time.

I hate to do a request, but my attempt at doing/modifying a WPS turned out amazingly bad.

You can change the background and font yourself in rockbox.

Go to Settings -> General Settings -> Display -> Browse Fonts and you can choose Nimbus-19.

Go to Settings -> General Settings -> Display -> LCD Settings -> Background Color and you can make it black or whatever color you want.

That won't work well if the WPS file defines its own background. And if I know which WPS you're talking about, then it does.

It also doesn't work as almost every WPS really messes up when I change the font size, anything on the bottom of the screen gets pushed off the screen.

Okay I think I found a suitable theme. phkVH seems to fit my needs, the words stand out, it shows the info I want, and looks pretty nice. I am going to try my hand at removing some spaces and enlarging the font on it tonight.

Every WPS is line based. If the size of the line changes, then things are gonna get screwy. Just wanted to let you know that, in case you didn't know.

Yeah I found that out when I tried to modify the DockPod WPS, everything got offset, even by a pixel or two, very finicky.

I might try giving this a shot. as I recall I think I found a font that kinda looks like snap, I could use it to make a size 18 ish font that would still hold the look of the theme. Shouldn't take more than a couple hours ;)
