Title: Themes Support for Sansa e260
Post by: imanub on August 19, 2008, 12:48:52 PM

I installed the latest build of Rockbox to my new Sansa e260 (after I upgraded to the current firmware of 01.02.24A).

I am unable to get any of the themes to work; they all look plain. No nice themes. Why?

Where are you getting the themes from?  The ones in the WPS gallery here should work fine.

Edit:  err.. I forgot that the new gallery organization is  "licensed properly but don't necessarily work properly."

no errors, just no icons when playing music. only a text dialog.

yep

just tried http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/pub/Main/WpsSansaE200/Black_and_Blue.zip

i extract it to the player, pick the 'Black and Blue' theme and hit resume playback which shows a black background with little white text that in no wise resembles the screen shot on rockbox.org.

There were some changes made to the WPS syntax recently that broke a lot of themes.  If you search the forums you'll find a simple guide on how to fix them - and given that those themes are properly licensed, you can fix them yourself and re-upload them.
