The problem I see with this: Themes are special for each player, so we would have an "extras" package for every player, not one package for all, like it is now.
And a nicer default theme is a must, because people who want to check out Rockbox are (normally) not willing to install extras just to test Rockbox. -- Simon (Rincewind) On 4/15/07, Dominik Riebeling <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hi, the topic just came up on irc: Currently we ship a couple of default themes but do not include the needed fonts for space reasons. This way we have some half state: we don't have no themes shipped, but we don't ship complete themes either. One idea to overcome this was to include the fonts needed for the shipped themes. But as UniCatcher requires unifont which is rather large (~1.3MiB) I don't think this is a good option. I rather think we should remove all themes from the svn builds and rename the fonts package to "extras" package (or something similar) that includes fonts and themes -- they also don't change too often so I think it's sensible providing them as separate download. It also scraps of some bytes off the download archive and makes updating faster (at least on my player extracting the small files the themes use takes a while because of the slowness of the disk). We could also make the archived builds fullzip archives which include both themes and fonts. That way older builds would always include compatible themes in case the syntax changes. What do you think? - Dominik
