Crunchbang Rockbox Theme

for anyone running the Rockbox alternative firmware on their ipod nano, i've made a #! theme for it.
you can get it here: http://roald.exul.nl/media/crunchbang_r … eme.tar.gz

i have adapted the graphics of the AAAudio theme and that's it. i think this only works on the ipod nano 1&2G but not 100% sure. here's the link to the original file: http://themes.rockbox.org/index.php?the … ipodnano1g

edit: some very crappy screenshots for sunfizz.

MAIN MENU:

PLAYING:

if you're using this, just put a reply here and that's all i want for it.

Re: Crunchbang Rockbox Theme

@rhowaldt: Thanks I didn't even know anything about Rockbox, if it wasn't for you. Now I am going to update my ipod nano's firmware.

Re: Crunchbang Rockbox Theme

^ ah yes, a by-product of this

i love Rockbox, i found out about it when trying to get my ipod to work properly in Linux. now i don't have to use GTKpod and stuff like that, i can just use Rockbox and it makes my ipod a USB-drive where you can just copy music. this even allows me to copy stuff to my ipod that i'm playing in moc, through a simple keypress. love it.

Re: Crunchbang Rockbox Theme

Nice, I will have to test this out on my nano 1g.  Btw, do you have any screenshots of it in action?

I accidentally killed my Rockbox'd Fuze...literally...like the way Buffy killed her Gigapet.   Once I find a replacemet media player to Rockbox, I'll need to know how to do this.

Would love if Rockbox fixed the Olympus M:Robe 500 firmware.

Re: Crunchbang Rockbox Theme

^ May be a while...I'm getting by with a perfectly acceptable Walkman media player...AFAIK completely non-Rockboxable, but shows up as a regular USB mass storage device.

...unless the "trick" works with *any* USB mass storage device, and not just Rockboxed media players...?

Re: Crunchbang Rockbox Theme

^ it works with any device or directory or whatever. ok wait i'll look it up.
...

# Executing external commands (1 - 10) invoked with key commands (F1 - F10 by
# default).
# Some arguments are substituted befor executing:
# %f - file path
# %i - title made from tags
#
# Data from tags:
# %t - title
# %a - album
# %r - artist
# %n - track
# %m - time of the file (in seconds)
#
# Parameters above applys to the currently selected file. If you change them to
# capital letters, they are taken from the currently played file.
#
# Programms are run using execv(), not a shell, so you can't do things like
# redirecting the output to a file. The command string is split using blank
# characters as separators, the first element is the command to be executed
# and the rest are parameters, so if you use "echo Playing: %i" we run program
# echo (from $PATH) with 2 parameters: 'Playing:' string and the title. Even
# if the title contains spaces it's still one parameter and it's safe if it
# contains `rm -rf /`.
#
# Examples:
# ExecCommand1        = "cp %f /mnt/usb_drive"
# ExecCommand2        = "/home/joe/now_playing %i"

that explains everything. personally i have it like this:
ExecCommand1 = "cp %f /media/ipod"
ExecCommand2 = "cp %F /media/ipod"

the 1st command, invoked with F1, copies the currently selected file to /media/ipod. the 2nd command, invoked with F2, copies the currently playing file to /media/ipod.

i'm reposting this in the Moc themes/scripts as well, because that is where it really belongs.

A simple camera picture shot of the theme would suffice

Re: Crunchbang Rockbox Theme

Fabulous...It looks like a minor change to the original rockbox theme, but it looks nice

Re: Crunchbang Rockbox Theme

it is a minor change indeed. it is an adaptation of the AAAudio theme. i removed the text 'rockbox' and replaced with 'crunchbang' in the main menu, and in the now-playing i removed text 'rockbox' and replaced with '#!', and made the progress-bar lightgrey to add to the overall black-white #! minimalism. that is all i did!
