The AI built a stock looking theme for my iPod and now anyone can download it

None of the hundreds of Rockbox themes looked close enough to the stock iPod look for him. He asked the AI to build one based on a 2011 theme, and the result, Classic Revival, is now up on the Rockbox themes site for anyone with an iPod Video to download.

How it works

  1. Try the existing Rockbox themes
  2. Ask the AI to build a new theme based on the 2011 iClassic theme
  3. Add the split screen menu with album art
  4. Add the blue selection bar and smooth text
  5. Add Now Playing with angled album art
  6. Publish it on the Rockbox themes site under CC BY-SA 4.0

Why it’s worth knowing

A theme he asked for to suit his own taste is now a public download other iPod owners use.
