Rockbox Custom H300 LCD Colors!

[savagenator]

is the screen on rockbox, the one thats plain light blue and thats it, the same kind of code as those old crappy 2-bit or something green and black computers? i mean, my school still uses those for processing the student absenses (no i dont want my h320 to do that)

We can have three things:

Form over function
Function over Form

But whats even better? Function and form!

lol, thats why we are all trying to make it all colorful!

will anyone help me? i got the compiling program to work but i cant find how to put color....i'll do more research until an answer pops.



EDIT: i dont think i know enough about this to be able to even try (but i did anyway). I'm only a kid , i finnaly figured out how to get the program to compile to run correctly, but now i cant do anything to make rockbox change in any way. Can anyone help?

You mean epilepsy?

[marco]

exactly. did u get it too, after seeing the thumbnail in the first page?

I felt a twitch and a dribble of drool, yes.

Bah, its not that bad

I have been trying to get colour bitmaps to work with the wps, but as of yet I have had no luck. My excuses are
1) my lack of knolage of c programming and the storage of bitmaps
2) I have moved back to my parents home over christmas so I am using an old laptop and running everything off my iriver. as such I am not used to the keyboard etc...
3) I am just lazy

I will keep trying though

EDIT- look here for more info [Patch] Color Changer

If people really want I can post my build for them to load. The only problem with that is that the source changes daily and.... if you learn to compile rockbox on your own then you can have the most up to date version with whatever color settings.

Here are my values for the black backgroud and red text I posted a few posts up. I added to the comment tags so that I remember what's going on

#define LCD_BLACK      LCD_RGBPACK(0, 0, 0)
#define LCD_DARKGRAY   LCD_RGBPACK(85, 85, 85)
#define LCD_LIGHTGRAY  LCD_RGBPACK(170, 170, 170)
#define LCD_WHITE      LCD_RGBPACK(255, 255, 255)
#define LCD_DEFAULT_FG LCD_RGBPACK(255, 0, 0) /* LCD_BLACK normally */
#define LCD_DEFAULT_BG LCD_RGBPACK(0, 0, 0) /* rockbox blue 182, 198, 229 */

*Notice that I have the RGBPACK on every color value now. Even though right now there is redundancy (with black), if I ever want to have different colors for each different value, the RGBPACK is already written there for me to change the colors!

I understand that there are people who can't compile their own builds because they don't understand it. If people reaaally want, then I can attach it for download.

With a smiddgen of Perl, you can just write some code that will download the new source, apply the code, compile, then send to iRiver.
