so i have reskinned everything (including the KBPS display...which is not red on my player) and it is looking a lot better. BUT, i am having two major issues (which are somewhat related):

the dynamically displayed text (scrolling song title and folder name) seems to require a certain background color.

the folder name, on my player, has a blue background and light orange text. even if i change the background color of MAIN.BMP for this area, the folder name still shows up in a blue box.

the scrolling text (song name) is the main issue: my MAIN.BMP has a black strip for this area. the scrolling text is orange on what seems to be a transparent background. as soon as the text begins scrolling, the background gets all weird (turns green on my player).

i don't think there is a solution for this, unless we can change the text and/or background color.

i am trying a few things out still, but am not too hopeful.

i'll keep you all posted.

P.S. in order to change the KPBS text, i change the MNUM and MBITS image files (don't know if they are named the same on other players).

i have the exact same problem about the orange text and blue background on the scrolling text... if you figure out a way around it let me know... i think all you can do is make your team match those colors cause there is no way of changing them... :(

Re: myPod | Music main screen (first draft)

well...

there is no way for me to do this skin the way i want. the issue with the text color and background has got me beat!

as per weecho's observation:

i am going to try to make this screen work, but it won't be very "ipod-like" anymore. :(

i will post once i have a new screen ready.

cheers,
doon

Can you send me the one that is ipod like? Please!

Re: myPod | Music main screen (revised)

ok folks,

i'm tired and it's late. after much fiddling about with color and the 8x8 font map, i have given up on making my first draft for the player work.

since i HAD to work with black and blue on the player, i tried to design around those color. unfortunately, the player screen no longer looks very iPod-like:

still have a few bugs to work out, but for the most part this one is done.

any comments?

goodnight!

doon man... you did it.. i like it... a lot... maybe all you have to do is work the fm screen to these colors... you know.. like instead of a green radio back.. maybe a blueish one like this... so that it matches you theme... thats what i would do anyway... and prolly what ill do if i get my hands on this.. :D :D :D :D

GREAT WORK...

Re: myPod | Music main screen (revised)

Ciao Doon
I think your latest them is great , congratulation. This is also tru for the radio theme

Would u be so kind to send me via email a copy of your mofified firmware file (*.bin) . I think it would be safer to upload that directly rather than trying to replace each bmp on my own .

Thanks again for your help

PAOLO

cpaolino, It takes alot longer to try and recover a dead player than it does to load the images into your own firmware. Using someone elses .bin is always risky.

Re: myPod | Music main screen (revised)

Ciao Tadad
thanks for the answer , I went trhu this before :-(

What I really like to see is the FW structure and then check consistency before modifiying and uploading anything
