Just wanted to pass on my thanks for porting this to the N900, I had an I-audio X5 years ago and loved it so this suits me perfectly. Much better than the default player.

I'm not too fond of the Cabbie theme though so I made something similar to what I had on the X5, a WMP theme. It's not totally finger friendly (tapping progress bar) but it does the job for me. I can post the files if anyone wanted it. Screenshot below.

I like the look of that and would be grateful for the files- any tips on making or converting themes?

Those of you complaining about a lack of finger-friendliness can change the menu's font in "Settings / Theme Settings / Font". Unfortunately 35pt is the largest I can find (it's included with the maemo build) and it's just not quite big enough. Still an improvement though.

I tried to make a bigger font using the Rockbox Font Converter, but it uses Convbdf, which doesn't seem to be able to convert any larger fonts due to a small cache size. If anyone knows another way or has some bigger Rockbox fonts somewhere we really need them for the N900.


it was already set to 35 adobe-helvetica by default, but the 35 pt bold version of that is is a little bigger i suppose. 48 or 60 would be great!

Works-for-me(tm). What kind of file do you play when this happens? I tried various files and it didn't crash.

What's the exact error message when you try to convert larger fonts? Convbdf is part of the rockbox source tree IIRC.

I can replicate the issue with MP3, WMA and FLAC files.

Whilst a song is playing go to show track info, then scroll the screen up( so you can see whats below) it starts to do it then the application just closes. I'm on the N900 pr1.3 I don't have the power kernel installed.


Can anybody else replcate this this?
