Good News for iPod Users!

Thanks to you patrons, especially Mr_Barkan (reddit) and kaosnews (discord) for their donation, I was able to get a new iPod!  

I pounced on this pretty nice dead drive and batt 7th and added in my mods from the previous pod! Good thing it was also from AU so shipping was small as well. I suppose I lucked out, great timing ahha.

All that's left before I am able to continue theming again is my small few college projects to get done and a short break! I got some ideas in mind a...

Quick Update

Lots of things have been delaying my hobby work latley, it kinda makes me sad but I still want to remain hopeful

Firstly, my only iPod Classic has had its battery connector come off. I've jankily tried to put a new one on and it popped alive again but does not charge. Been looking for a fix but so far ive been waiting for free time and looking for information

Aand second my design college work has seen a ramp up in brain wracking abstract thinking and production work so my time ha...

📦 Nature Bokeh Background Pack

Went on a small trip and took some backgrounds, devices look really clean due to the bokeh! 

A pack of 24 image files for different screens and such.

Enjoy!

Made an iPod Classic Guide!

iPods are a pretty cool world of modding, beautiful timeless design, while breaking free of services, notifications and all that distracting junk.

Seeing a 20 year old device working 100% to this date, and even better with big batteries that last a month and 500+ GBs of new, flash storage is such a charm, similar to admiring a timepiece.

I ended up making a guide to help those looking for more information about them! and especially newcomers who wish to grab one for themselves. 2021-03-23 13:02:19 +0000 UTC View Post

A few ideas, but pretty busy a lot of things right now!

My Uni semester is starting so I've got a lot on my load to sort out, Hopefully I can finish off the themes soon. Sorry for my absence

📦 sWiich theme for Nintendo Wii Released!

Its all finally done now! Hope you enjoy!

Install instructions included in the file, as a jpeg poster thingy.

📦 sWiich Theme for Wii [Early Release 2]

New Version of the Wii Theme that looks like a switch.

Mostly improvements to the dark version, I settled for using the switch's bright highlighted buttons to improve readability of the text in settings since I can't change it to white, and other similar improvements to contrast in the dark version.

New stuff for both light and dark versions:

Theres a new "Wii-Con" in the Home Menu which I made as a joke but it turned out looking pretty damn good. I thought it was gonna look...

sWiich Theme Dark for Wii [Early Release 1]

Firs try Dark Mode for the sWiich theme. There seem to be a lot of artefacts around round objects and thin lines. Like the font and the main circle buttons.

I also couldn't change the settings and tooltip font color, so will think about what to do there. I suppose its usable for now though!

Infomatrix U - Customisable iPod Theme - WiP 2

Look it's CYBERPOD 2021!~

New Home screen for Infomatrix U! Still retains full customisability.

I actually made this home screen 100% on the iPod itself using Rockbox's text editor and RockPaint. Was quite fun.

I personally prefer this view over the list view before, you still get the list view before when browsing files and songs, but on the home menu you see this. Its just a bit more defined that this is the home screen, often I missed that I was on the home screen and tri...

sWiich Theme for Wii [Early Release]

So I got USB Loader GX for my old wii,

I wanted a Switch, but didn't really have a need for it as I don't game much.

Turns out it can be themed, so I tried doing a bit out of curiosity only to end up taking it all the way haha

Come test it out! Let me know if anything could be improved!

Thinking about Infomatrix U

Wondering what you guys think of this? I've been trying to find something new to do with Infomatrix U's home screen

Wanted: Thoughts and Feedback for FreshOS Light

I think FreshOS Light is almost ready for those normal non-supporters out there! 

I would just like to hear some feedback and thoughts about how it is currently, so I could fix them up before release.

Of course, I'll add extras for patrons! Maybe a pack of icons in single-colour outline style, and accent colour customisation.

Would love to hear your thoughts about FreshOS Light, do you think everything is set for release?

FreshOS Light Theme Planned

Apologies for the lack of activity!

Here's the latest FreshOS for you supporters with the USB screen support window removed!

In this pack is also my theme code with annotations, only to be seen by patrons, along with the other extra theme features.

Enjoy!

FreshOS Released on Rockbox!

I've successfully overpowered rockbox with my theme.

As it was larger than 1mb, the Rockbox site didn't want to accept it. So it requires a manual install.

You should be able to follow the steps to get it installed all good though, so head over to the rockbox installer or theme site to get it installed!Enjoy!

I'll be busy over the next week due to assessments and presentations, but the next thing on my list will be a fully user-customisable new InfoMatrix update. ...

FreshOS: Requesting Feedback

I would like to release the theme either in the next version or the one after the next version, so I'd love to know what you think of it so far.

• Do you think its ready for release?
• Do you spot any issues?*
• Would you do anything differently?

*not all issues are fixable, they might be just the nature of rockbox

Let me know in the comments below! I'd love to know what you think.

FreshOS Theme - Early Access WiP v5
