Main Window
| |
The main window of H3Mod is all you really need to see for changing
Themes. The main
window has four areas:
Firmware Content: This shows an area of a firmware file,
interpreted as an image. An exact magnified copy is displayed in the
Zoom View.
Bitmap: This window is used when you manually replace
images, for example just the boot and shutdown screens. You can either
copy the content here and save it as a gif (or bmp or png) file,
or load an image file and then copy it into the firmware.
Current Bookmark: This the exact description of the
firmware content above. This is valuable for searching images on
one hand, and for checking the colour format on the other hand. If
you want to create your own theme, it's important to know how
many colours each image can have.
Bookmarks: The list of all images that have been found
yet, grouped loosely by topic. Selecting a new mark here will
change the current bookmarks and, consequently, the firmware content
that is displayed.
P.S. The lovely bitmap you see in the screen shot was created by my_iriver, who
has many more to offer: see his
misticriver gallery.

Theme Preview
| |
|
The preview window simulates how a modified firmware would look
like after flashing it to a player. It's not a 100% accurate
image for all screens (some images and fonts haven't been found,
and therefore can't be displayed), but it gives very good general
impression of the final result.
Navigation is possible over the buttons, almost like on a real
H3xx...

Font Window
| |
The font window allows to view and modify the fonts used
for text display. For details, please read the help file.
A basic overview:
Font names: A list of all fonts that have been found.
CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) has been split in 10 chunks for
convenience, since there are > 20000 characters in that font.
Preview: Here you see what the font in the firmware
currently looks like. A font image similar to this view can be
saved for editing and loaded again to replace the original font.
System Fonts: To avoid too much manual work, you can
replace firmware fonts by True Type fonts installed on your
system. Since these are not optimised for H3xx use, it is usually
necessary to add some manual work, but it can provide a good
base for a final new font.

|
String Window
| |
The string window shows strings in the firmware that can be
tranlated. This can happen individually or by saving and loading
string lists.
A basic overview:
Original: The strings as found in the firmware. The same
string is often repeated several times and has to be replaced several
times, so there can be duplicates.
Translations: These strings will replace the originals when
you click OK. The list ist not editable, instead you save the list of
originals, translate it, and load it again.
Target String: If you just want to change a few strings,
you can do it interactively: select an original, type the translation
here, and click the replace button.
