JIGSAW13, could you give us a little more information? Which theme? Are you sure it's compatible with the Rockchip? Do you have an exact copy of your firmware?

You should know that unless you already have the exact firmware for your player it's not possible to extract and theme it's firmware at the moment. Finding a compatible firmware file can be extremely difficult as well.

Ok. Now the first thing to take note of is whether or not a theme will match your screen size. That theme looks like it's for a 1.8 inch screen. Although it's intended for an 'Actions' chipset player i don't see why you couldn't import those images into a rockchip if it's the same screen size.

The second thing is just a word of warning. Although the firmware included on the disc appears like it belongs in the player, there has been a few cases where it turned out not be. So only proceed if you're absolutely sure it's the right one.

This program > http://www.mympxplayer.org/logodiy-engrar-df564.html should be adequate to theme your players firmware. There is also a guide here > http://www.mympxplayer.org/guide-roc...odd-df597.html

Just make sure the theme matches your screen size otherwise it'll end up looking like a mess.

Good luck
