ipod classic rockbox theme

so for my day to day usage i carry an ipod classic which has rockbox installed thanks to the work from the guys at freemyipod.

I wanted a simple theme that just gave me the basic information that i wanted without graphics or anything else in a simple green terminal style.

so i created this:

here is the while playing screen config (.rockbox/wps/poa_nyc.wps):

%ac%?ia<Artist: %ia|%s%fn>
%ac%?it<Track: %it|>
%ac%?id<Album: %id|no ID3 tag available>

%al%pc %ac%px%% %ar%pt
%ac%pb
%ac%pm
%ac%t(2.0)%?Ia<%sNext Artist: %Ia|%sNext File: %Fn>;%ac%t(2.0)%?It<%sNext Track: %It|%sNext File: %Fn>

%alMode: %?mp<Stopped|Playing|Paused|Ffwd|Rew|Rec|Rec pause|FM|FM pause> %arVol: %pv 
%alFormat %fc %fb                   %arBatt: %bl%%
%alPlaylist Position: %pp/%pe       %arRepeat Mode: %?mm<Off|All|One|Shuffle|A-B>
%aL%cH:%cM:%cS - %cm/%cd/%cy        %arCrossfade: %xf

%sThis theme %(poa_nyc%) made by http://www.pissedoffadmins.com to emulate an old school terminal
%ac%?if(%pv, >=, 0)<Warning.. volume clipping|:-P>

all the tags can be reviewed here.

here is the styling stuff (.rockbox/themes/poa_nyc.cfg):

• lookin’ good man. The only thing you need now is a badass wallpaper so I made one. You’ll probably have to resize it for the smaller screen but it would look wicked as a background to your new display! Here is the url.
