First, what is Rockbox?
Rockbox (WIKI) is an audio player available in the repositories (extras-devel, usual warnings apply, http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=66896)

In my own opinion, it is the best audio player feature wise: gapless playback, crossfading, 10-band fully customizable equalizer that does not impact on performance as much as other players, crossfeed and a lot more. As usual, it supports tons of file types.

But I always found the default UI quite unfriendly for touch use.


NEW UPDATE V0.3!
CHANGED THE EQ TOGGLE(didn't work) TO A PITCH BUTTON!


ROCKN900 Skin
So I started by checking out the original code from cabbiev2, checked rockbox theme documentation, and after 4 days I managed to create my first skin.


(these images below don't have the pitch button that was in v0.3, because they're old. everything else is the same)
WPS



SBS - 1st: Main Menu - 2nd: File Browser



WPS




How to use it?
Now, the following images will show you what happens when you touch on the yellow rectangles:
WPS

To stop playback, you have to long press the play/pause button (middle one, right bar) - This will also leave WPS, directing you to the SBS main menu.
To rewind/fast forward, either use the progress bar, or long press the PREV / NEXT button. This ONLY works when you're in the WPS.

SBS

Sometimes, you might need to press "WPS SCREEN" button twice to reach WPS. This happens when you're in the Settings menu, for example.
This theme includes an AA .fnt for rockbox: 40 Ubuntu [Regular]


How to install it?
  • Download it and extract the content to "/opt/rockbox/share/rockbox" using whatever you prefer (filebox, terminal, winscp...)
  • Open Rockbox, go to Settings > Theme Settings > Browse Theme Files > rockn900.cfg
LATEST VERSION:

Download rockn900_v0.3.zip


This one is old... don't use it!
Download rockn900_v0.2.zip

Done!
Final notes: Yes, I know that the images explaining how to use the skin are a bit ridiculous - but at least they are "idiot proof", I hope.
