45rpm
Remember those old 45's, well now you can re-live your youth (yes you are getting old) with this classic stylish them based on a 45rpm Vinyl record. Its a very simple theme, afterall those record decks were quite basic, you knew the track was coming to an end as the stylus was closer to the centre. So I've tried to give the feel of what that was like, including the odd speck of dust

but don't worry there won't be any crackles or pops, or warping effects, just pure music. The images of the vinyl and stylus are from real items I own.

This WPS works with the standard build and does not require any patches.

Ajant Orange 5g
This is a reworking of the iRiver theme originally created by Pelinkovac @ Mysticriver.
Version 1.1:- Enlarged the battery & volume icons. Added functionality to the mini-play/pause/fwd/rwd icons. Added HDD activity icon. Added RPG (replaygain) icon, but support for this is yet to be implemented.
The bottom "bar" scrolls through (1) Current Playlist (2) Current Genre (3) Current DJ/Composer (if applicable) (4) Next Track (Artist / Album split over two lines for clarity). The conditional code allows for non-ID3taged music (reading from filename & directory structure).
There are also two fonts included. helvR12 (regular - first image above). helvB12 (bold - second image above).
Ajant Blue 5g
As above, but in blue
AluminArt
DOWNLOAD:
AluminArt.zip
Here's my first theme for a standard Rockbox build, with large album art displayed on a dark brushed aluminum background. Despite appearances, the multifont patch is NOT needed!
FEATURES:
- Album art 200x200, blank CD shown when cover is unavailable.
- Less important info shown in smaller system font (including artist and album, which I assume are apparent from the album art).
- Rockbox logo flashes white when hard disk is in use.
- Photoshop sources included (you'll need them if you want to move things around, at least if you want drop shadows on icons and boxes correctly displayed over the background).
- Recommended scrolling settings: maximum speed (15), minimum step size (1 pixel).
CREDITS:
- Rockbox logo taken from the Cabbie 2.0 theme by Yohann Misquitta(?). Icons very loosely based on Cabbie 2.0 icons.
- The background is a photoshopped version of the Brushed Metal background by Zakk Roberts.
- Blank CD image found at hydrogenaudio.org, creator unknown.
- Handwritten font on the blank CD is made by Matt Chrisholm (as seen in the Pen&Paper theme).
Feedback welcome, please post in this
forum thread.
I'd like to release this theme under a suitable license for use in the upcoming Rockbox 3.0 release, provided I obtain permission from the above people.
This theme needs a nearly comprehensive album art collection. To easily find the best available album art for your music, I recommend the marvelous (and free) Album Art Downloader by Alex Vallat:

DOS Blue
This is my first .wps. It is a simple theme for the iPod Video 5g. Based loosely on an MS DOS screen format. The only graphics are the backgrounds, everything else is text (just like DOS used to be). Despite its simplicity, it has a clarity that makes it easy to see what you want to see.
Features:"disk" and "lock" change to "DISK" and "LOCK" when active. The "Next up:" text at the bottom scrolls all the info about the next track.
Everything else should be self explanatory. I should point out though, that the track info does not scroll. This was intentional as I wanted the theme to be usable without having to add any patches, which the novice user may struggle with.

Download:
Glass N Shadows v1.1
It's taken a little while, but I've finally finished the Glass N Shadows theme pack (and by "finished" I mean that I'm sufficiently satisfied with it that I'm willing to let others see it"). I've chosen 4 "natural setting" images to serve as the tie-together. Hopefully this makes the theme a little more appealing to greater number of people.
NOTE - As far as I know, all of the images that I've used are free for non-commercial use. If you believe differently, please let me know at my web site, listed below. I will always do my best to respect the private property / ideas of others.
About the themes:
There is no special Rockbox build needed. The themes look best (and were intended to be run) with the "icons" turned on, and the "line selector type" set to pointer.
Album art is supported @ 100x100.
Song rating is supported. All files needed are included in the pack (this includes icons, fonts etc.) I have 2 more in the set that I did not include in this package. Both use Texas sports team logos, and I didn't want to violate any copyrights on this site. If you would like to get the full pack, including the 2 extras, you can do so at my website
http://pages.suddenlink.net/klas. As always feel free to leave me some constructive (notice the word "constructive") criticism by clicking the email link at my site.
EDIT 1 (06/24/2008) - Since I've had a couple of requests for alternate Texas sports team themes, I decided to make a separate sports pack. There are now an additional 11 sports themes that can be downloaded.
EDIT 2 (07/11/2008) - I have upgraded the Glass-N-Shadows theme pack to version 1.1. All themes in the pack should work with the current (as of 07/11/2008) Rockbox build.

I take no credit for making this theme. Kudos to
AlanDavies for making the original theme for the Nano. I Only modified the wps slightly to make it work for the 5G iPod and a few of the icons to make them fit on the different screen size. Hope you like it!
EDIT: I FIXED THE VOLUME ISSUE!! Again, you have no idea how sorry I am, considering I managed to kick the volume up to 0 on myself at 4:30 in the morning. Not fun. Again, to anyone's ears I killed, I owe you all for bearing with me. If anyone has any requests (That I won't completely mess up) for me to do, let me know. My AIM is

I know there are a number of "simple" wps/themes here, but they either seemed too simple for me (I wanted more detail) or too complex/busy (I use my iPod in the car, and I need to read everything at a quick glance). This theme has a large (and simple) enough font ("9+18x18" from the font pack) and clear enough colors. It displays all the track title/artist/album/year info, and falls back on filenames and directory names if id3 info is not available. The WPS file is also somewhat commented, in case others wish to see what I have done, or to modify it for their use. This is my first "released" WPS/theme, so please let me know if there are any problems.

This is my first theme. It's fairly simple but I like the way it turned out. It's setup to be the exact oposite of the standard rockbox theme. It's not structured, informative, or clean. There's displays for all the standard functions(play, pause, rewind, fast forward, and hold), a five level battery meter, and a volume meter down at the bottom. Any and all comments/suggestions are welcome.
all files needed are included

iPhoneLike
With the iPhone as the obvious inspiration, this theme, called "iPhoneLike," is based off the iPodWidgets theme (with additional credit due to the original arboxWidgets theme by Humberto Santana). This WPS is compatible with recent daily builds (as of July 2008) and features conditional viewports, various "widgets" including clock and calendar, battery charging animation, next track information using the hold switch (with album art), and alternate song display with no album art. This theme is made for 200 x 200 album art, but smaller art will also display just fine. Enjoy!

First and foremost, credit goes to
PiesJulius for porting this theme from the original by GTS-R (all of which is mentioned above in
PiesJulius’ original entry)—This blue version wouldn’t be possible without his work on the original green theme.
IMPORTANT: In order for this theme to properly work, you need to have the same patches required for the iPod Green5g theme (again, as mentioned in

This theme is a extreemly modified version of the Linart theme found on the rockbox forums... I've pretty much completely redone the GUI, just leaving the WPS coding. (I liked the way it displayed the file info, and didn't see any reason to change it) Theme includes: a font (chicago12.fnt), backdrop (peace.bmp), and theme file. It DOES use custom colors, so if you don't want your custom colorscheme to be messed with, edit that out of the .cfg file.
This is very much a work-in-progress, and still needs a bit of polishing.
New in 1.1: Re-did a bunch of the graphics, including the rating stars, play/pause icons in title bar, and the volume/progress bar. Also: removed the virtual HD LED, fixed positioning error with the year.

Lights v1.1
I finally finished a theme I started the day the original BlackGlass theme came out. This theme has that wonderful theme as it's core, but only barely. The only things it shares with that theme are the placement and size of the 100x100 album art, and a very rough similarity in the text placement.
Features:
-The filename for the current song is listed in the upper section, and the filename for the next file is in the lower section. I did this specifically for me, to aid in listening to (and deleting) podcasts, where the file name is sometimes nothing like the show title.
-The time elapsed/total/remaining is shown in a logical way. This idea was borrowed from the Brushed Metal theme.
-Original "lightbulbs" graphics for play/pause/ff/rw/stop, the battery, and the volume meter.
-Volume meter shows db rating in text that moves with the volume bar.

What'snew:
v1.04 corrects a bug that WPS doesn't seems to accept long font file name. Now "nimbus+uming+cyr+heb-14.fnt" is renamed as "nimbus+uming2-14.fnt".

Wii.zip
Decided to make this font on a complete whim, quite possibly my best theme to date. It focuses on displaying track information in a neat, easy to read way integrated into a stylish WPS that focuses on the "Wiimote". The + pad serves as the playback buttons, the A button has been transformed into a volume level indicator and the power button into a battery indicator. The indicator colors change from grey>red>yellow>green>blue>Wii blue as battery level increases. The simple shuffle and repeat buttons are displayed on the bottom left of the wiimote. In tune with the wii's attitude the WPS uses a revolutionary curved progress bar instead of a straight one.Track information is displayed in the following order (from top to bottom) Album, Artist, Song, Next song info (altenates Song/Artist/Album for 5sec/3sec/3sec) The info is displayed in the priority ID3 tag>Directory/Filename>Unknown.

Just a theme. IMO, fits pretty nice on black iPods!
phk2
A variation of phk1.
phkTV
⪠Another one of my "weird" themes. This theme is based on an old TV.
The channel selector knob rotates according to the player mode status. The fader volume slides.
The
phkTV_sm version only works with builds with Scrolling Margins patch applied, preventing that tracks with long titles to exceed out of the proper area.

This is a theme I did in tribute to the classic "Mighty Mighty"
Van Halen from the early age.
- The Volume section has a "chicken head" vintage knob, that drives a guitar amp stack with 8 speakers. As the volume is increased, the knob rotates and the speakers goes "lighting"
- The battery level is measured by an analog VU meter
- A vinyl record icon indicates Disk Activity
- A locker icon for the Hold
- Player status icons (Play/Pause/FF/Rew)
- Shuffle mode icon
- Repeat modes icons
- Volume displayed in dBs
- Battery level displayed in percentage
- Clock display
- Current track info: Name/Artist/Album
- Next track info: Name and Artist alternatings
- Track position on the playlist
- Elapsed and remaining track time (Flashs when in Pause)
- Track properties: Format/Kbs/Constant or Variable Bitrate

phkTAPE
⪠In my opinion, this is the masterpiece of my themes.
For the first time, I tried to be a few near to reality, with some details and daring to use 3D perspective plan. I liked the result.
- The Play/Pause/Rew/FF keys got movement like a real tape-deck, according to the player status.
- The Shuffle and Hold moving as push-buttons.
- A five position switch moves representing the Repeat modes.
- The led meters are used to display Volume and Battery levels graphically, with numerical info below.
- A led indicates Disk Activity
- The progress bar is the tape itself, filling the cassete window. Obviously, just a symbolization, very far from a real tape movement, that goes from one reel to the other.
- The counter displays the current track time.
- The reels spins according the direction and speed status.
I did some versions with 3 pannel colour optons. A green (a), a blue (b) and a traditional grey/brown (c).
To work perfectly, this theme requires a build with "scrolling margins" patch applied, to keep the current track info properly inside the cassete area.
But, for anyone who wants to try this theme, I did versions to work with standard builds too. However, you must know that long current track titles will exceed their proper place.

phkGUITAR
⪠This guitar based theme got both Gibson and Fender characteristics mixed. A Les Paul Jr body with a P-90 "soap bar" single pick up, and a SG pickguard style. A Fender type bridge, knob and switch. Please, don't ask me why the 5 position switch if just have one pick-up...
- The Battery level is graphically displayed in the pickup polepieces, with the percent too
- The Volume level is displayed graphically by the rotating VOL knob, with the dB info too
- A pick represents the player status (Play/Pause/Rew/FF)
- A 5-position switch for the Repeat modes
- The output jack flashs red to indicate Disk Activity
- The track name infos are displayed on the pickguard
- Two switchs indicates the Shuffle and Hold modes
I made two versions of this theme: Normal version works on standard builds. And
sm version works on builds with Scrolling Margins patch applied, to keep the track name info properly inside the pickguard area.

phkNANONIZER
âª
This is the most stupid idea ever.
Allows you to "transform" your iPod video into an iPod nano.
I did this just to check my iPod video themes that I transport to nano version. This way, I can see exactly what is showed on a real nano player screen, cause the simulator "lies" a few, mainly cause it has a bigger screen than a real nano.
I made this using the phkVH theme, but you can easily do the same with any other nano theme (for use with standard buids). For those who wants, check
HERE
ATTENTION: This only works on iPod video with Scrolling Margins patch applied build, like evilG or senab builds.

phkFORUM
âª
Wow! New feature on Rockbox? Now we can access internet with Rockboxed iPod
No, this is a theme I did reproducing the Rockbox Forums layout. For those who are addicted to Rockbox Forums.
The link icons represents the player status and modes. The progress bar is not really a bar, but the word "ROCKBOX" being writen in loop on a field. The volume and battery has "graphical" modes too. The browse backdrop is based on a topic layout.
There's nothing much to say. Just a funny and "weird" theme again.
PS: Don't forget to Login! Just open .wps file with text editor, replacing PHK by your name. âª

ROCKBlocks
A new theme pack by Mike. This one is the first time I've used a "hold" feature. All the pictures found on Google, so credit to the people who took them. No special builds required. Comes with 7 themes.
Download:
ROCKBlocks
ROCKBlocks_AA
Album Art mod of the original ROCKBlocks theme pack which uses the rockbox logo as a progressbar slider. Now is album art aware. If no art is found will text will center, else will align to the left of the album art. This theme pack requires the
Custom List patch, and the
Progressbar-Slider patch. The easiest and probably best way is to just use
tdtooke Underground build.

RockSki
RockSki theme by Aaron Goltz. This theme is based of the old MS game SkiFree. The skier indicated whether the play is paused, playing rewinding or fast forwarding, and the Yeti will come out when the hold switch is engaged... Please let me know if you have any suggestions. I chose not to have a graphical volume or battery life display as it didn't seem necessary.
Simplex2
UPDATED: v1.1 April 29 2007
Since Simplex fits the white ipods, I had the realization to make a version that goes with the black ipods with inverted colors. Besides that everything else is the same as Simplex. DOWNLOAD:

Starry Eyed Surprise
UPDATED: v1.2 May 12 2007
A theme I made based on an image I liked and the Twilight theme by Trent McPheron. Added Album Art and shaded areas so the text isn't distorted. Information in the WPS: Battery level, Time and Date, Track Title, Artist, Album, numeric and graphic (knob on the turntable) volume level, upcoming track info. The track info is in the priority of ID3 tag>Directory/Filename>Unknown.
IMPORTANT: This WPS requires a Rockbox build that has the Album Art and Scrolling Margins patches applied to it.
Senab's build or my own
EvilG build will do.

The Mixing Bowl
UPDATED: v1.1 April 29 2007
A WPS that pays tribute to the website
themixingbowl.org; it is inspired by the color scheme, logo and image gallery of the site. No album art in this WPS as I wanted the Logo to be visible at all times you can add it by putting this code in at the end of the WPS file
%Cl|15|37|s100|s100|
%C
Information in the WPS: Battery level (graphic and time), Time and Date, Numeric volume Level, Track Title, Artist, Album, and Genre, (upcoming track info, too) The track info is in the priority of ID3 tag>Directory/Filename>Unknown.
IMPORTANT: This WPS requires a Rockbox build that has the Album Art (if you add it to the WPS) and Scrolling Margins patches applied to it.
Senab's build or my own
EvilG build will do.

Turntable 2
Theme based on the original Turntable that was found in the Nano Mistic River site. (I unfortunately can not find who originally did it). Does not support covers. Has current and coming next album information and a progress bar. First attempt at customizing a WPS so feel free to provide feedback.
by Shawn Looker
edit by GustavoLang
I've taken the liberty to create a zip with this same theme, organized with the proper directories. I've added cfg files designating the proper font, icons, and backdrops and organized 8 WPS's with the various colored backdrops included in the original zip.

Ubuntu
This theme is based on a ubuntu linux window. Made with gedit editor and GIMP Image Editor running on ubuntu, the theme can claim to have the right pedigree.
On the play screen, the top line contains a padlock (for the hold switch), battery meter graded in 10 steps (shown with full and half bars), the volume and the date. The transport controls are fairly obvious, whichever is active is highlighted. There is no PAUSE or STOP image as this is indicated by the play button not being highlighted. Disk activity is show by the icon that looks like 3 stacked CDs. The Artist, Album and Track name scroll if the are too big to fit the screen. The progress bar has track count and time displayed. Under that is the track format and bitrate, followed lastly by a scrolling line displaying what track is "Coming Up:" next.
Download:
ubuntu.zip
This WPS works with the standard build and does not require any patches.
UPDATE: -Errors fixed! Now works in current build!

White Lights v1.1

|
Based on Lights, this has a mostly white background which should help battery life a little.
Features:
-The filename for the current song is listed in the upper section, and the filename for the next file is in the lower section. I did this specifically for me, to aid in listening to (and deleting) podcasts, where the file name is sometimes nothing like the show title.
-The time elapsed/total/remaining is shown in a logical way. This idea was borrowed from the Brushed Metal theme.
-Original "lightbulbs" graphics for play/pause/ff/rw/stop, the battery, and the volume meter.
-Volume meter runs the correct way now (a problem with the original lights).
-ROCKbox logo!
Requirements:
Album Art patch (To see Album art. WPS will work without it)
nimbus-12.fnt (Included in the zipfile)

I started this a while ago, TOTALLY forgot about it, so hope you like it. I didn't make the background someone on deviantart did, so I credit whomever it was, but it wasn't me. Making that clear. Oh, and before anyone asks, no, the name is not based on anything.
