Broken Themes
You may run into themes that do not work, this means 1 of 2 things:
1. The theme is broken, or
2. The theme uses
patches or features not currently part of SVN.
If after checking to make sure you have the correct build, the theme still does not work you can:
1.request the author fix the theme via email, a forum post or PM etc.
2.fix the theme yourself, you can use a simulator to help you (use the --debugwps switch) :
http://rasher.dk/rockbox/simulator
If you have fixed a theme, the updated version should be uploaded here (only, if the license is compatible, i.e.: CC-by-SA, GPL, etc.).
Please honour the original author's intent and don't upload a "fix" which changes features or behavior. If you wish to modify a theme in this manner rerelease it under a new name.
Useful links for editing themes
Important
In case the theme you choose does not include the required font you should install the Rockbox font pack (install it the same way as a rockbox build).

Christmas
This is a port of the Christmas theme made originally for the ipod video. It uses the nimbus-11 font (included) and uses 50x50 album art. It should work fine on the current builds. I will optimize it with viewports later on for Christmas '08!
"A Christmas theme for the holidays!
This theme is made for the standard build with album art, it has the icons you would expect and uses the nimbus-19 font (included).
The song information shown is (from the top down) artist, title, album and info about the next song (alternating between title and artist).

Plain & Simple
The page flips between displaying song/artist/year and the album art every 5 seconds, while leaving the rest of the display the same...

...whereas this one displays the album art on it's own page. This was a lot more complicated to construct than it looks.

Jack
"Jack" is a flat black/white/red theme, named for the master of the b/w/r colour scheme. It comes in a number flavours: The Basic version opts for very little info to achieve an uncluttered interface, whereas the Info version crams about as much information as Rockbox can deliver. The Album Art version reserves space for a small (50 pixels by 50 pixels) album cover representation (requires a build containing the 'album art patch'). The version known as Jackinnabox is suspended until the required patches are in a more stable development phase.
Features
- Functional, flat and stylish - just like the Nano
- All info conditionalized (e.g. title is replaced by filename if there is no title in ID3 tag)
- Volume is displayed by the wheel in upper left corner turning red - très ipod!
- A high number of volume and battery levels for smooth animation
- New icon series - all playing states covered (shuffle, repeat all, repeat shuffle, repeat one...)

HiPod Dark Nano

This theme was converted by myself from the iAudio X5 version. This is but one evolution of the original, created for iRiver platforms.
The playlist position counter alternates with the volume level. UPDATE: The battery meter problem was found and fixed by bjt (Brian). The corrected version has been uploaded. Much thanks to him! No patches are needed for this theme, and the required font is included.

UniText

Download UniText
This is a WPS based on the Unicode font, unifont.fnt. It's entirely text-based, requiring no images. It aims to display a substantial amount of useful information, despite the inherent restrictions of a large font on a small screen.
This theme is not copyrighted; I have released it to the public domain. Of course, this doesn't apply to the font, which I've included in the package for your convenience.
Some notes: The data after the heart sign (♥) are ratings, manually set and automatic. To the right is the play count, marked by the number sign (#). A tilde (~) displayed before the bitrate indicates that the song uses variable bitrates, and that the average bitrate is being shown.

aroundthelake
Download:
aroundthelake version 1
This is my first theme, made because I found there wasn't a theme I really liked that could support Chinese characters. I found the nimbus-uming14.fnt font, and thought "Hey, this looks pretty good, let's make a theme for it", so here it is. There is no album art support, but [maybe] expect an update in the future that implements this. If someone has a good, neat font that has CJK support (and doesn't look huge or Courier New-ish), I'll be glad to mod this theme to fit it.
- Made to somewhat copy the interface of the original Apple firmware
- Full Chinese/Japanese character support, but does not have Korean support
- 12-level battery display
- Bottom text switches between date and time (5 seconds)

There is in fact a CJK font that can be compatible with this theme: wqy-unibit.fnt, available
here (not included in the mod).

aroundthelake version 1 (wqy mod)
Note: Requires you to overwrite existing aroundthelake files with modded files, i.e. you must already have aroundthelake installed to use this mod.
