The Engadget Linux 5G iPod theme!

We know some of you out there supposedly have iPods, and we're assuming since you're an Engadget reader, the likelihood of that iPod running Linux is at least slightly higher than average. If you fit the profile, check out our main man Goemon4's Engadget theme for 5G iPods running Linux. Besides having a better interface than our site, you can wow your nerd bros with a geek threefer: Engadget + iPod + Linux. For ultimate Engadget nerd-dom load 'er up with Engadget Podcasts, outfit Firefox with the Engadget search engine plugin, and hit up the Engadget Mac Dashboard widget.

P.S. -If you haven't noticed, chances are if you build some fun Engadget related tool, plugin, or software, we'll post about it!

You (Engadget) should give him transparent higher-res images of your logo in order to make the theme look a little better and less jaggy. Just a thought, if you could do it, it would be great!

I like the theme, have been thinking about installing linux on my nano, so I think I'll give it a try, good work :)

you should change the menu system as soon as possible, before creative sues your ass!

It'd be even more appropriate if it used the Engadget font I made a few months back (after you mentioned that you wished you had one, instead of a hand-drawn logo):

It'd be even better if it used the Engadget font for its text:

I came up with this font a few months back, when you mentioned that you wished you had one, instead of a hand-drawn logo.

(Apologies if this comment goes through twice; my first one still hasn't shown up, though I confirmed it 10 minutes ago.)

Dustin, it wouldn't be much use. Currently podzilla's graphics rendering is SDL based, Any background image with more than 16 colours causes it to run very slowly. The devs are working on converting to hotdog (another graphics library), which is much faster.

Some link doesn't work :( pls give me real links...

Sweet, it doesn't have as many ads!

[ChrisXS @ Jul 7th 2006 5:08PM]

Now if only we had fresh engadget podcasts to mate this with...

[CoolGuyRandall @ Jul 7th 2006 9:38PM]

Yeah...what's the story with Engadget Podcasts seemingly having disappeared?!?
