Rockbox mail archiveSubject: bundled WPSes => themes?bundled WPSes => themes?

Date: Wed, 16 Nov 2005 07:51:41 +0100 (CET) Hi We're now shipping Rockbox packages with a few bundled WPSes, and I guess there will soon be a whole bunch of them included with each release. (I've really not heard many comments about this so I assume it just works fine for people.) Since each WPS often is best used with a specific font and with the statusbar set to a specific state, we generate a .cfg for each bundled WPS. The only problem with this approach is that "browse WPS files" in the menu only shows WPS files and not the .cfg ones so it is pretty hard to select a .cfg to set all the properties at once. At the same time we see the iPod and H3x0 ports taking steps forward and if not earlier, I think color screen support will add even more requests and wishes for further "skinning" of Rockbox - things like background images etc. All this taken together, I'm thinking that perhaps the bundled WPSes could be the start of a "theme" concept. With a simple "browse themes" option in the menu, we could browse the .cfg files in .rockbox/wps/ and consider them being "themes" or "skins". When we add further configurations like bootup sound and customizable icons, we could simply add the setting of those choices to these very same .cfg files. Good? Bad? -- Daniel Stenberg -- http://www.rockbox.org/ -- http://daniel.haxx.se/Received on 2005-11-16 Page template was last modified "Tue Sep 7 00:00:02 2021" The Rockbox Crew -- Privacy Policy |
