dis-AA [VP]

[disorganizer]

this is another theme with viewport support and 175x175(!) AA from me.

License:


i achieved a maxed out AA by swapping the trackinfo in the lower part with the "next track" info after 10 seconds (and swapping back after additional 5 seconds).

notice that the "next" section of the track info displays after 10 seconds, thus it makes sense to set the backlight timeout to at least 15 seconds if you like to see this info regularly :-)

viewports-wps-v2 is needed from 1.3 on because of the relative coordinates for the bmp's!

needs:
#4733 multifont >=080122
#5697,albumart + s-defaultpatch
#8358,viewports-wps-v2

tested with:
special build in real and sim

notice regarding the "official" VP-Builds:
aa will then be centered in the 145x145 square.
fonts will be reverted to system default font for 1.2
in 1.1 the "big" font is the menu font and the "small" font is system default

changelog:
1.0 (2008-01-10):
initial release
1.1 (2008-01-11):
rearranged wps file a bit, cleanup
version bump to make it similar to dis-wps-vp
LAST version to support builds without multifont support (userfont 2+3 needed!)
LAST version with d-flag for AA.
1.2 (2008-01-26):
use userfont 2+3 instead 0+1
use aa default tag for sizing (instead of d. use s=default patch for aa to display fullsize)
1.3 (2007-03-17):
working with viewports-wps-v2 ONLY (bmp-coordinates relative to vp)
version 1.1 dropped from download

NOTICE:
this theme is renamed to simpleAA and will be maintained at the WPS gallery of rockbox.org from now on.

version 1.2 up with font update.

please also see red notice in first post...!

EDIT:
version recalled because no benefit from this change. preferred to stay on 1.1 for now to support non-multifont installations!

[syxed]

man this is exactly what i wanted earlier. i don't know how you do it, but you've pretty much found the perfect balance. thanks so much! i switched to vp bc of your skin!

[disorganizer]

version 1.2 out with non-visual changes:
using font 2+3 instead 0+1 to disable font-setting for wps by user
also remove aa d-tag to display in the system default method

notice:
there is a patch on fs that will set this to s (increase and decrease) as default. it is recommended to use a build with that patch included.
also newer aa-patch version use the svn method of aa loading, so the maximum aa size is 176x176 for the sansa. bigger aa wont show up!

[disorganizer]

version 1.3 online: adapted for viewport-wps2 patch (positioning of bmps relative to their viewport instead of the screen)

version 1.1 dropped from download

[disorganizer]

as the font code in svn will propably change i temporarily pause this "train" of my wps until mf support is in the svn.

you can always download an updated version from the wps gallery at rockbox.org.
the themes are named simple and simpleAA there.

just a small comment:
the themes are released under i-dont-care license.
feel free to use, it just would be nice to be mentioned :-)

I've tried it with the latest official build, and for reasons i don't know it works! (Probably latest viewports changes).

The only thing that looks odd is the album art since resizing BMP's isn't in the official build. Just as a sidenote, also ColosusVP works with the official build now.

Oh, and did I say that this theme is really nice?

[disorganizer]

tnx, and if you use AA in the right size it will be ok ;-)
the commit of wps-viewports enables most of the "custom-build" wps's to at least show something. only fonting is still a problem though if the wps was not designed for the svn.

One thing that is missing also is the "NOW" text that's on the bottom left.

P.S. I'm seeing that you use two fonts for the theme. Does this mean that multifont(well, partially maybe) is in SVN?

[disorganizer]

the now text is missing? need to check. shouldnt though.
did you try the svn-version (simple-aa) on the wps gallery at rockbox.org?
if yes, do you use the right svn version?

the versions called "dis-wps..." do use mf. and are no longer maintained.
the version called "simple..." do use svn. they are maintained at rockbox.org.

mf is not in the svn. one of the fonts is sysfixed (font0) and the other is nimbus ;-)
this is kind of "virtual" multifont for now until svn is mf ready.


i will propably use this thread(s) for posting unoffical versions of simple wps though, if some promising patches will come up on the tracker in the future.
but the svn version will always stay at the official wps gallery (and only use svn).

[disorganizer]

new version of simple-wps (sucessor of the dis-wpses) compatible with conditional viewports up and rockbox.org
