Rockbox now supports greyscale backdrop images for file browser--post your backdrops
Rockbox now supports the ability to use greyscale images as a backdrop for the file browser, similar to what's been available for the H-300 players.



This really is great news. Now if the creative people here just would develop and post their greyscale backdrop ideas--come on, you iRiver H-1xx users!

Presumably since we can't change the font colour they will all have to be fairly light, then if people want dark ones they can turn inverse mode on.

I created a 160x128pixels 2 bits bitmap as per the manual, loaded it onto my H140, but I have three issues.
1 - I can't browse the .rockbox folder on my h140. Am I doing something obviously wrong? All other folders are accessible, but .rockbox just isn't shown up in the file browser. Since I load the backdrop from the root, it's not loaded on next boot (as stipulated in the manual).
2 - After loading the backdrop, again as per the instructions, it works fine but I get some dots that aren't part of my bitmap. These dots are not random, they appear as an uniform grid.
3 - The backdrop also shows during every other activities, for instance playback (which is not convenient).

Long-press the AB-Button, then set Show files to all, this should solve this issue.
Can't help you with your other problems, I'm afraid, but I'm looking forward to actually see H1x0-Backdrops one day!

Oups, me feels stupid Well, that's sorted, thanks!
I just noticed that although I ask XnView to reduce colours count to 4, it still saves it with a 8 colours palette. Maybe that's one of my other problems.

Latest CVS build fixed the backdrop noise So 160x128 in 4 bits is definitely ok (that makes a 10.1KB BMP).
I'm still hoping for a way to disable backdrop during playback since it interferes with the wps theme (I'm using LlamaBeta).
Meanwhile, I made my backdrop to only use the lighter shade of gray to keep the theme as readable as possible.
