I'm working on a theme for my gigabeat but when I tried to make it load images, they're not showing up in the sim or on my player.
Is there something I'm doing wrong here?

It works properly when I edit another theme to use my graphics... Could it be the program I used to make the .wps file? I used wordpad on windows.

Wordpad works fine for me; you're saving the file as a text document, right, in the drop down window?

I had a similar problem recently when i had renamed the wps file temporarily to something different to the theme wps folder where the images are.
i.e if your wps file is mytheme.wps your wps folder is: .rockbox/wps/mytheme
when i renamed my wps file to mytheme2.wps, the images weren't loading.
just a thought!

The folder and the file had the same name and it was a .wps file. I edited a different theme and renamed it and it works fine... I guess I'll just make my themes this way :(
I don't want to make a new thread for it and clutter the forum so... Would anyone use this? (http://i249.photobucket.com/albums/gg229/BakaKotani/dump08020831.png)
I'm linking to it because it's weird on the forum.

Make sure you are saving the file as Unicode, not ANSI. Im pretty sure Unicode will work, if not, try UTF-8.

Images not showing in the WPS could have a few reasons.
Since you didn't show the complete file: maybe you don't preload the images correctly with the '%xl' tag, or use the wrong parameters (maybe x and/or y positions are off)? There's also the possibility that you use too many or too big bitmaps; this is limited to a certain amount of data. A few people ran into this problem and described here that it lead to some bitmaps not showing up (there must be a few threads about it here)...

After looking around the files a little bit I discovered wordpad wasn't saving it the way I wanted it to. I'm gonna use notepad from now on. Thanks for the help everyone.

Really? Cause I always have the opposite problem. Notepad saves wrong and wordpad works fine.

I wouldn't use either to be honest. Notepad++ is both free, and far superior.

Can you share me your user-defined language settings for WPS code? Thanks.
EDIT: I can't get it to do nested delimiters like the greater than and less than signs. For instance, hoo> causes it to mark the last symbol as not having a starting delimiter.

I don't have one.
