the currently playing file. Also there are some actions that do not apply to the current
file but refer to the screen from which the context menu gets called. One example is the
playback menu, which can be called using the context menu from within the WPS.
3.2. Customising Rockbox
Rockbox’ User Interface can be customised using “Themes”. Themes usually only affect
the visual appearance, but an advanced user can create a theme that also changes various
other settings like file view, LCD settings and all other settings that can be modified
using
.cfg
files. This topic is discussed in more detail in section
(page
). The
Rockbox distribution comes with some themes that should look nice on your player.
Note:
Some of the themes shipped with Rockbox need additional fonts from the fonts
b
package, so make sure you installed them. Also, if you downloaded additional themes
from the Internet make sure you have the needed fonts installed as otherwise the theme
may not display properly.
3.3. USB Charging
To charge your player over USB, hold any button while plugging it in. This will prevent
it from connecting to your computer and let you continue to use it normally. Your player
must already be in Rockbox for this to function.
Note:
Be aware that this button may still perform its normal function, so it is recom-
b
mended to use a button without harmful side effects, such as
Rewind
.
