is it possible to get a video going through the different functions on the os-43 so i can see where each picture is linked too? I haven't even found out where all the pics are in my S:flo, let alone one i don't have XP. Even pictures would work, but it'd be nice for the vid to see each sub menu and options.

EDIT: tried watching Raz's vid, but different theme unfortunately

Yeah if anyone's willing to do a video that goes slowly thru the UI and shows all the icons from the setting menus and playing screens it would be a big help

Raz's video review doesn't show everything(specifically radio, ebook...etc their settings menus)

I can see why Raz and manderin1 posted this competition. theres like no themes for this player in the modding section as far as i can see and search. I'd be happy to bring a couple in, contest or not

Its definitely a player worthy of a few good looking themes

i thought this may happen, knowing the player and the images and their locations is a definate plus, and i admit, i also do not like theming when i do not have the player to test on

one thing i forgot to mention (i will add it soon) is the player supports PNG transparency like the s:flo, maiking for better image quality on the player
dont use heavy or complex gradients as they become banded on the player (just go to find a balance)

i will and have planned to try and do something to help out those who dont have the player to make it easier to understand what is what, actually its reasonably simple once you get innto it

cheers

I found your picture of your theme in the os43 thread Manderin1. That alone showed me where about 20 pictures went from one picture. I think i can get started a bit now
