High contrast WB skin (thanks to FDR) was created by EduardS

Based on FDR's high contrast black on white skin I have made a high contrast white on black skin. I think it's readability in sunlight suffices and a big gain is that it uses less energy than the high contrast black on white skin.

Actually no, it uses the same amount of energy, since the backlight is the same...

LOL, damn I could have sworn my Devo8s worked longer on this skin.

Lower power consumption would be true IF the screen would be LED not LCD

With LCD, it is a bit more even, 'cause apart from the same backlight, more pixels (with the driver transistors) are needed to be activated... but it is sooo little difference

LCD: when active, covers the light coming from the backlight( = black or some colour means power use, white = no power use on a pixel)

LED: pixels emit the light themselves (black pixel = no power)

Happy New Year to all of you! Good job releasing v4!
Already on and under testing

cheers

You have to build your own library dfu file. It contains the "media" folder with all files inside in a FAT file system.
I am working to create a build-system independent method to create this library-dfu but I am not sure if I will succeed at last...

If you have a working build environment (MinGW under Windows) you can execute the attached script (in MinGW-Window) with executing "sh make-lib.sh WORKING-FOLDER" (in the src/-folder of the deviation repository).
The WORKING-FOLDER is the folder where you have put a copy the files in filesystem/devo12/media in a subfolder "media", e.g.

mkdir ~/make-lib
mkdir ~/make-lib/media
cp filesystem/devo12/media/* ~/make-lib/media/

sh make-lib.sh

I know this is old but I really like this skin,it would look sweet on the 12s I have. Im going to have to con my Nephew to see if he can do it for me.
