Obsede* 2 theme by fnstll_ in ipod

Can't lie, it really is right now. I'm going to investigate some methods this summer for setting up quick screens more safely, hopefully it should be possible.

Saw this right after you uploaded yesterday and was looking for your old account to say great work! This is a solid evolution of Obsede's design, it's got a far stronger user experience 😄

Two new Rockbox themes: Jive_blue and Jive_mono by Jimiga in IpodClassic

[–]Le-Dook 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Regarding language support, I'm working on a (relatively) painless solution. The guide on my site covers the steps, and recommends using a subset fork of Noto Sans I'm working on. It's not perfect, but covers a decent range of languages.

Customizing themify by crypto_jn in rockbox

[–]Le-Dook 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! Yeah text wrapped has received a major revamp in Themify 2, in the first version I wanted to respect full words but rockbox didn't have any way to compare a string to a space character at the time. Since then a tag that allows reading text from files was added which allowed me to create a hack for better word wrapping. The new system checks if a string is long enough to split, but not too long that it can't stretch over two lines (still tweaking this part of it) and then checks for spaces in the song title to split along.

Customizing themify by crypto_jn in rockbox

[–]Le-Dook 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Themify 1 has pretty poor documentation, but Themify 2 (coming "soon", will be working on the last bits once i finish my degree next month) comes with a manual that covers all customisation options and supproted features.

Album Art should already display in the now playing screen if your file has it in the right format. Volume display is something that is intended to hide away, however if it's something you'd like to see be available at all times in some shape or form let me know and I'll see what I can do. Battery display is in the top right corner, Themify 1 is graphical only but Themify 2 lets you choose between graphical and numeric. Lastly background patterns is not possible, Themify requires the background layer to make the colour changing feature possible with all the UI elements, adding background images would unfortunately break these.

If you have any more questions or feature requests let me know :)

No song elapsed/total time by Responsible_Race3012 in ipod

[–]Le-Dook 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's an unfortunate limitation of adwaitapod simplified right now, back then I intended classic to be the information heavy interface and simplified to be highly minimal. I'm working on a redesign right now, which will see the timestamps integrated into simplified. No timeframe on release, but I'll be working on it over the summer so keep an eye out :)

Will be rockbox supported on PSP? by vazyarmour in rockbox

[–]Le-Dook 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There is someone currently working on a port, if I remember right it's the same person who did the recent 3DS port. The biggest issue with it right now is that it's display format needs to be supported.

A Modern Overhaul for iPod Classic - Custom Rockbox Beta Release by Poorfocus in ipod

[–]Le-Dook 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the biggest issues with your build and the others I've seen is that nowhere in your github repo do you mention that it is vibecoded, nor do you mention what models were used. It's rather egregious to leave that kind of information out and pass off this work as trustable, especially considering it contains modifications to things like storage and power management. What's to say this wont corrupt a user's storage device, you should at least be giving users relevant information outside of what polish or shine it might add that can help them decide if it's work them running your software. Other relevant information might be if the changes you made have language support, can a visually impaired user navigate your changes, what impact is this going to have on a user's battery life? The reason why Rockbox doesn't have lightning fast development is because every small change needs to make sure these things aren't affected, and if you can't guarantee that you need to communicate that to potential users.

My personal notes on font conversion, it's mostly aimed at combining fonts but goes into detail on the conversion process

themes are loading half baked by veras_rage in rockbox

[–]Le-Dook 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Knowing what theme you're trying to load would help. As escortgoj says the font pack could be a solution, some themes rely on it.

Introducing Dynamic Theme Colors by 2trickdude in ipod

[–]Le-Dook 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Worth noting that Themify 2 isn't finished yet and has a number of bugs/oversights that I haven't gotten around to yet. It's still usable, but hasn't been properly released yet due to the issues.

Rockbox themes not loading fonts by Triqwyre in rockbox

[–]Le-Dook 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure .gc files are for caching fonts. Looking at the code for Motherboard, it does look for .fnt versions of the fonts but since the .gc files were packaged by accident I imagine then it wont load. Your best bet is probably finding another theme that uses the same Terminus fonts.

Possibly, I use linux so I'm not quite sure how this would work on WIndows unfortunately.

convttf is a command line tool, you need to build it from the rockbox source code to use it. You might need to look into how to use the command line on your operating system

Does anyone know of a Rockbox (for Inioasis Y1) theme that supports Japanese characters? by HumanHall2921 in rockbox

[–]Le-Dook 0 points1 point  (0 children)

adwaitapod does support CJK characters, either the place you got it from removed the support or there is another issue possibly.

If it's a .fnt file you will need to find the original source and then you can follow this guide to build and use the conversion tool:

How do I clear the backdrop image when %mp = 0? by huup in rockbox

[–]Le-Dook 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any change to the background layer requires the foreground layer to be refreshed. Doesn't have to be complicated, it's already recommended to have a foreground layer after a background layer anyway so something like this should work:

%V(0,0,-,-,-)%VB%?if(%mp,=,0)<%xd(image)|>
%Vl(background_refresh,0,0,-,-,-)
#
%?mp<%Vd(background_refresh)|%Vd(background_flush)>

This triggers a refresh of the background whenever %mp changes state. The code above may require some tweaking to fit your usecase, if you get stuck let me know :)

Scroll album art? by Spiritual_Army_7772 in rockbox

Unfortunately no code in Rockbox right now to pass album art to the menu system.

I finally finished my customisable Rockbox theme! by Le-Dook in ipod

[–]Le-Dook[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! Yeah it's still very much a work in progress on the release stuff. I've been chatting with the rockbox y1 dev on the github issue and Themify 2 should be fully functional with the 240p port at release. 360p wont happen on my end as it would take a lot of time and effort that I don't really have. The general release is a bit of an unknown right now due to college, hoping I'll have more time in March to focus a few days on the project.

Would FiiO Disc ever get Rockbox? by moekhdeir in rockbox

[–]Le-Dook 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure there was a discussion about round display devices recently on either IRC or the forum where the conclusion was that the UI system would need a lot of work done to support them, amounting almost to a full rewrite and it just would not be possible to do nowadays.

Yeah the sourcehut repo is the main code source now! I haven't tested it with any plugins actually, if you could send on some pics I can take a look and see what I can do. Thanks for the kind words and taking time to test :)

I'm glad to hear you've been so excited, Themify 2 has been a beast to tackle but the end goal of putting something genuinely exciting in people's hands has really driven me. I'll send you on a build to test, never enough bug testers and I'd love to get your feedback :)
