jClix Rockbox Themes - iPod Video

Long time since I wrote here, so please don't be mad at me, I had a lot to do, but fortunately I got some free time between the big rush, and I managed to finish my new theme.

So this would it be:







It is a port of the original iRiver Clix theme, but it's not just a port it is more than that because I redid the whole design even the littlest pixel, but the idea is from the iRiver Clix that's true.

Again I created 11 themes with different backgrounds so if you bored with one you can choose a new one, and if you want your own background just download the psd file and make your own theme.

IMPORTAT: as you can see this theme needs some patches because it has multiple font faces on the wps and you can change the position of the menu and have different colors for the text on the wps and so on, so I will try to explain you which patch what does so you can implement them in your build. Note: these patches should support all other themes, so you should be able to use the original rockbox themes with these patches.

DOWNLOAD:
* jClix Theme Package
* Rockbox jBuild to use the themes

Patches:
* custom_display_width.patch
* custom_list_position.patch
* customline.patch
* multifont.patch
* multifont-userfonts.patch

Click on the patches for more info, they are now on the rockbox tracker and I hope they will be useful for your future themes.

Fonts: the fonts used in these themes are included in the theme package, so you shouldn't have problems using them.

NOTES:
* The album arts for the themes should be 85x85 sized, I know this is not a standard size, but the builds don't support album art anyway (for now), because I'm waiting for the new album art to come out wich should have scaling capabillities.

Copyright: again, some of the backgrounds may be copyrighted but I hope their creators won't be mad at me for using them, I really enjoy your backgrounds people and would like to thank you for making them, and if you see your background and would like to see your name here, please drop me a letter, I would be happy to have your name on my site :)

Enjoy as always,
jME

Rockbox Bootloader with fullscreenlogo and Statusbar

I had some free time, and this is what came out :)
I just finished to create a custom Rockbox bootloader for the iPod Video with a fullscreen logo (you know, the girl holding the iPod), and a custom status bar which I hope will look as good as the rest :)

The girl with the iPod now really holds a Black iPod video, so it's now your turn :)

Ok, this is how it looks, the bootloader splashscreen and the new fullscreen logo:


Download custom Bootloader
You can get the custom rockbox boot loader from
http://pijulius.com/julius/rockbox/ (look for: jbootloader-YYYYMMDD-$yourdevice$.bin)
Note: at the moment it's only available for iPod video (5g) but I hope I will have some time to make one for the iPod Color too.

To install the bootloader please follow the rockbox's instructions found here:
http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/IpodBoot

Download custom builds
As usually, the custom build can be downloaded from
http://pijulius.com/julius/rockbox/

The patches which are included in these builds can be downloaded too one by one from:
http://pijulius.com/julius/rockbox/patches/

Notes:
I would like to thank again to S3TUP for the great girl with the rocbox in her hand, and to Pete for the black iPod 5g suggestion, and to Ivo Burkart for his bootsplashscreen patch which was a great start to make my own.

OOoo and as always, Big Thanks to the Rockbox team, I'm so proud of this software, thanks guys/girls for the great work, and for giving us this possibility of freedom to make any changes anytime :)

That would be all for now, enjoy as always :)

Green5g and jBlackGlass with Album Art

At least :) a lot of people asked me to add Album Art support to my themes, so I did :) (cover image sizes: iPod video = 100x100, iPod Photo = 50x50) this is the result:



Please note the album art support has been added to the jBlackGlass ipodphoto too.

I fixed the OnScreen keyboard bug too, so now that should be displayed in the right place, and you can download a prebuild binary with the 64MB cache support for the iPod5g 60gb too.

Download Green5g, jBlackGlass and jBlackGlass iPod Photo from here, but please don't forget that you'll need my latest rockbox prebuild binnary! (look for rockbox-jbuild-YYYYMMDD-$yourdevice$.tar.gz)

Note for Prebuild binaries: IMPORTANT: you will need the latest rockbox daily build and after installing that on you iPod overwrite the files with the ones from my build.

If you wish to make your own build, you can find all the patches here.

jBlackGlass for iPod Photo/Color

Seth Jenkins kindly asked me to port the jBlackGlass iPod Video theme to the iPod photo, so I did :) but before I take all the credits :) I should say that I couldn't do it without his help, hi helped me a lot with testing and so on, so I would like to thank him for all his help and time with this! Thanks again Seth!

So here you go:

Copyright: I think I stay with the same note that I wrote at the video version of this theme.

NOTE: A lot of people asked me for the font (nedore-9.fnt) which is used by the theme, and because the fonts are provided by rockbox I didn't pack them into my themes, so VERY IMPORTANT download the latest font package from the rockbox server and you should have the right fonts.

Enjoy your iPod :)

Custom Rockbox boot logo for iPod Color&Video

I just found a great logo for rockbox which was done by S3TUP so, big Thanks to him! and I thought it would be great if we used this one when rockbox boots, so I did a little patch and everything works like a charm.

This is the image which will be shown when rockbox boots:


Get the two images for your iPod color and/or video here:
iPod Color: rockboxlogo.220x68x16.bmp
iPod Video: rockboxlogo.320x98x16.bmp

and get the Patch from here: full_screen_logo.patch which is required for placing the image at the top edge of the screen, and to remove the version label from the bottom, so only the background is shown.

You can always use my prebuild binaries (look for rockbox-jbuild-YYYYMMDD.tar.gz) for both iPod types, but please note that these binaries have been patched with the Scroll margins, Custom status bar height, Custom font height and so on, so your old themes my not look as good as before because this patches have been optimized for my themes :)

jBlackGlass Rockbox Themes - iPod Video

I've just finished making some new rockbox themes, using Win Media Player 11 design elements, I know, there is already one which is pretty good, but I had something else in my mind, so here is the result:








As you can see there are 11 themes in this package, I used a few of my preferred background images, but feel free to use your one, you can get the psd file from here, just add your background image and save the result to your theme directory. See here for more details about creating rockbox themes.

Copyright: hmmm, good subject :). I think WMP11 is done by Microsoft :) and the background were created by different people, but I don't really know which one was made by who, so please don't be mad at me if you don't see your name here, just send me a letter and I will put it up, but I would like to thank you in advance for this great wallpapers and I hope you don't mind seeing them here.

Note: Stev just pointed out that the "jellyfish" background was made by the Digital Blasphemy art team, so I would like to thank them! and some of the other backgrounds are from DeviantArt, so thanks to them and to the authors too!

Ok, thats all, enjoy as I do :)
