loadable iconsets

[lights0ut]

Just wanted to thank jdgordon for this. I just got today's build, and loaded the tango iconset from the wiki. I can see a great deal of possibilties coming our way, and while this feature doesn't add any functionality, it makes a huge impact aesthetically.
Either way I love rockbox eyecandy, thanks again for this awesome feature

could my iconsets be added at the wikipage?

cold_default-white_icons.6x8x16.bmp
cold_default-white_viewers_icons.6x8x16.bmp
custom_icons.6x8x16.bmp
custom_viewers_icons.6x8x16.bmp

and I think the set by Eli Sherer could also be added

elisherer.16x16x16.bmp
elisherer_viewers.16x16x16.bmp
elisherer_viewers.16x16x16.icons

Why can't you add them yourself? It is a wiki ...

awesome.... i love it!

Could there be an option to get it like it was? The simple default icons with configurable color. Now the icons are black and my backgound are dark blue. The new icons may be nifty, but they're way to fancy to be of interest to me. I'm happy with the default ones, but I would like to set the color myself....

(I use a simple two-color text based interface on my H340, orange on dark blue, for WPS and everything, and that's the way I would like to keep it...)

rabid teddy: yeah, sory about that, bit of an oversight.. there are 3 different ways bmp's can be drawn onto the screen, one makes purple transpaeent, and one makes black te forground colour...

there is plans to megre the three so we can have both, but untill then

Really love it, thanks so much

So, can a mono player (iriver H140 here) use the color icons but just render them in black & white or greyscale, or do separate black & white/greyscale icons need to be developed?  Thanks--

[Llorean]

The H140 shouldn't really be referred to as mono, as that refers to 1bpp, and the H140 is 2bpp, grayscale.

Anyway, icons should be adapted, but because you only have two shades of gray, black, and white, properly created icons will look much better.

[JdGordon]

but the greyscale targets can load the mono bitmaps (unless im hugely mistaken?)

It's OK  
I just turned off the icons completely and activated "show all files". This way I identify filetypes by extensions.
Actually, it might be an improvement as it makes my interface even more minimalistic (which seems to be where my taste is heading in all walks of life....).

My inaccurate reference ...  And this gives something for people to work on and post.

Could the addition of loadable icons pave the way for status & scroll bar customization? That would finish off an already amazing leap forward in the GUI development.

[JdGordon]

it could.
