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...

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 think all you can do is make your team match those colors cause there is no way of changing them...

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,

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

[doon]

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!

Great work man!!!

[Weecho]

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..

GREAT WORK...

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

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.

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
