To do the music panel you have to change several screens... If I am not wrong... are numbered from 006 to 018 maybe also 019 / 020... if not will appear some patches where it goes number of songs, bitrate, EQ mode, etc.
To do this you must take exactly the potition where each patch goes and take the colour from screen 006.

Does anyone think we should start to write our own firmware editor?, Im sorry but, the RKLogoEdit.exe is not the easiest app to use, it's very clunky.

Start with the Onda (858, 858LE,878 etc), which I have,
make it open source and make it free.

I have made a start, Ill let you know how I get on,
anyone wishing to participate, please use this board for now,

Cheers

Hi, I have been playing and created a Apple Aqua style player screen, this one will work fine with the black font.

I would like it if someone could test the firmware to see if I have correctly altered the images, I cant install the ConsumerUpdate, it keeps crashing before finishing, so have not been able to test,

you can download the firmware from
http://www.dancemammal.com/VX858LE.rar

For VX858LE only 240 x 320 using version VX858le_V2_V0.0.00.rfw as base.

Cheers

I would like to make some comments about your wonderful work...
1.- Negative first ... I suppose that you are a Mac user... that's why you make this homage to this Apple product. Without the silly face it would have look pretty too, and I would enjoy putting it in my VX858.
2.- Positives now :lol: ... Indeed it looks awesome clear and well constructed... who knows how many pictures are needed to patch would understand you... I like it very much
3.- How did you manage to take this nice pic of your work? or is it the example you follow?
4.- Nice presentation of your message too... also well made.

Concerning the error messages of RKLogoEdit... I suggest you to add Chinese to your OS to work flawlessly with the program. I know how to do it in Windows XP... read here Installing Chinese

Hi All,

I was trying to produce something that seemed better to look at than the basic vx858 screen, this is not a homage, I have never even used a mac, Apple have nothing to worry about :wink:.

The screenshot is a mockup of how the player should look, this is taken from all the images that make up the media player, if anyone wants the original images, I can pack them up.

As for the little face, it's just to help fill the gap at the bottom, I was going to change the popup menus to look like aqua buttons, maybe after the firmware seems ok on install.

By the way, I typed in "Avril Lavigne", it was not on my 858, I could'nt think of another track :lol: .

this is really good and original not like my tentative to rip off the skins of the onda vx878 i'll try doing things like that up to know i never found any boby sending themes so i'm really happy its startings to appear to peoples thats its really easy on general play screen and menu this is cool mean more original themes and creative idears i have to say i' could do a litle more but at some point i'm stuck because the lst out for onda vx858 is crap i works for only a part a small part of all the pictures maybe its no good for the 858le or its never been anygood for the 2 desperatly nned a good lst for 858 858le and 878 then we will all be able to do some resious looking themes
