A theme is a configuration file, stored in a specific directory, that typically changes
the WPS , font used and on some platforms additional information such as back-
ground 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
Z
WpsArchos
. 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
12.2.2
(page

details.
