I think it has more to do with differences in taste...

Hi Trev, font size is not adjustable in any means so far. However, you may think using a high contrast background vs font color to make fonts clearer to read (eg. black vs white)
Changing fonts is also a way. Helvetica Neue, for example, is a good-looking plus very clear font.

For specific system attributes against each theme, let's hope James and his fellow engineers would come up with something more "DIY-able" during next service upgrade =P

I'm hoping Fiio will make it so there will be a bit more customization too (bigger icons for example). The lrc screen has a fair bit of empty space, so I was hoping there would be a way to bump the font size a point or 2. I'll give that helevetica neue font a try.
Any other recommendations for fonts that will work for all the languages X3 supports?
What's the best way to grab screen shots? Is everyone just doing mock-ups in the GFX software, or is there an easier way. (hint for Fiio....A GUI simulator would be a huge help.)
Cheers.

Actually there is one! And here you are:

http://www.sendspace.com/file/r6oiux

This is based on fw1.31 but the theme part is merely the same for 2.05
Just replace the theme as normal you do in the \data\res\litegui directory and run liteGUI.exe and enjoy!
You may also move music files to the \sys & \usr folder and GUI can funution as an normal player~

Control key note:
Enter=Enter
ESC=Back
Arrow Left/Right=Volume Up/Down
Arrow Up/Down=Forward/Backward
F1=Connect to USB
F2=Disconnect from USB
F3=Lock
F4=Unlock
F5=Plug in SD card
F6=Pull out SD card
F7=Charging
F8=Stop charging
Backspace=Turn off and go to charging if F7 is ON；Turn off and quit program if F8 is ON

Many thanks. I've gotten a bit spoiled using the rockbox theme editor/simulator. This should make things a bit easier to test.

Here's a theme I've been working on. A fairly simple black & red honeycomb type theme. I doubt it's contest worthy, but I'm not sure if I'm finished with it yet.

CC is always welcome.....

That GUI sim is a huge help. No more having to update the X3 just to find some doesn't look right. The biggest prob I have now is the big difference between colors on the X3 and my laptop screen.

watashi101 · Oct 31, 2013 at 3:06 AM

Thanks all for the appreciations / suggestions for the Miku theme

I have designed another theme for non-anime holic
Based on X3's cool brush-finish layout, I tried to make a consistent wallpaper plus a orange/blue contrasting layout

Ladies and gentlemen, the Extreme Dark

Hope you will like it~

Miku wins automatically, but oh well.

Hi, Watashi101
It be exactly what I'm wanted. Black and Orange. Only in setting "custom volume" is item "Options" in Chinese. Language is set to "english." It is minor bug. Thank you for an excellent job. Thumbs up.

This is now installed on my X3. Loving it so far. Minor observations: The font needs to be a little bit bolder so that the vertical strokes don't disappear on the tags displayed on the "lyrics" view, the green used in the battery level display when fully charged doesn't match the rest of the theme too well. I don't know if these are fixable but neither are show stoppers, just little tweaks. It's staying installed on my X3 either way 8^).
