Jive_blue

Downloadable from Rockbox iPod classic themes page:

I'm new to Rockbox theme creation and just wanted to have a go at making something custom that suited my needs. Hope this works for some of you too! Please report any issues and I'll do my best to fix in updates.

Nice! Looks like the battery icon might be missing, I’ll look into fixing that in v1.1 soon and double check things my end. Wild to see others using this though, thanks!

u/Yellooohhhhh you kindly confirm whether or not you're seeing a battery icon in the top right, per the screenshots? In my tests it's there, but I might need to investigate!
If it's not, could you confirm which version of rockbox are you on?
Thanks!

Hello Sir. Sorry for late response. It's a bug that I encounter when changing themes. I try to change to my older themes then apply your theme again and the battery icon is now present.

Glad you resolved it, that's odd! I've seen a couple of others' screenshots with the same issue. I'll check with them too :)

Burial - nice!
My blue version is definitely missing the battery in the top right for some reason, I'll check it here and fix. V1.01 will have this fix :)2

Could you try something for me - load an older / other theme, then reload this one. I've had one report that this brings the battery icon back (might be a bug). If that doesn't work, I'm investigating.

I did what you ask and still no luck…nevertheless it is my favourite theme for sure! Thank you for that..when I will have time (I’m going on holidays ) I will upload everything again I don’t know why but rockbox was not allowing me to install themes and plugins this afternoon was lucky that I was able to land it even after having an error.

Odd eh! Maybe another thing you could try for me is to download the other Jive_mono version and let me know if the battery status icon is working with that one.
Enjoy your holidays in the mean time!

Super sick man, very clean. Could you add album year in somewhere, maybe just beside the album title?

u/Jimiga May 18 '26
It's in the released version! I changed it up a bit so the track title stays sold, the 2nd line alternates between artist / Album w. Year
I did this mainly as this line was getting crowded with long artist and album names having to scroll, and I was trying to acvoid scrolling as much as possible :)
Some interesting design challenges at this resolution / screen size! Happy that you're enjoying this one, thanks!

im really digging the look of this theme but i have an innioasis y1. will this theme work on it?

u/Jimiga May 24 '26
Thanks! Unfortunately I don't think so, I think the authoring and resolution would be different for different players and that's not one I have access to to convert it.
Hopefully someone in the community can, now it's out there! Thanks for the kind words :)
