8 Theme Settings
The THEME SETTINGS menu offers options that you can change to customize the visual
apperance of Rockbox.
Browse Themes. This option will display all the currently installed themes on the
player, press Navi or Right to load the chosen theme and apply it.
A theme is a configuration file, stored in a specific directory, that typically changes
the WPS and remote WPS, font used and on some platforms additional informa-
tion such as background image and text colours.
There are a number of themes that ship with Rockbox. If none of these suit
your needs, many more can be downloaded from ZWpsIriverH300. Some of the
downloads from this website will actually be standalone WPS files, others will be
full-blown themes.
Note: Themes do not have to be purely visual. It is quite possible to create a theme
b
that switches between audio configurations for use in the car, with headphones
and when connected to an external amplifier. See section 11.2.2 (page 132) for
more details.
Browse Fonts. Browse the installed fonts on your player. Selecting one will activate
it. See section 11.1.2 (page 131) for further details about fonts.
Browse WPS files. Opens the FILE BROWSER in the /.rockbox/wps directory and
displays all .wps files. Selecting one will activate it, stop will exit back to the
menu. For further information about the WPS see section 4.3 (page 28). For infor-
mation about editing a .wps file see section 11.2 (page 132).
Browse RWPS files. Opens the FILE BROWSER in the /.rockbox/wps directory and
displays all .rwps files. Selecting one will activate it, stop will exit back to the
menu.
Note: A .rwps file is a special .wps file for the remote display.

Show Icons. Rockbox has the ability to display an icon to the left of the file in the FILE
BROWSER. For details of these icons, see section A.1 (page 138). These icons can
also be customised. See the ZIconSets and ZCustomIcons Wiki pages for details.
Clear Backdrop: Rockbox allows you to select bitmap pictures to use as backdrops,
see section 11.1.6 (page 132) for further information. This option allows you to
clear the backdrops that you set.
