13.1. Customising the User Interface
13.1.1. Customising The Main Menu
It is possible to customise the main menu, i.e. to reorder or to hide some of its items
(only the main menu can be customised, submenus can not).
To accomplish this,
load a
.cfg
file (as described in section
(page
)) containing the following line:
root menu order:items
, where “items” is a comma separated list (no spaces around
the commas!) of the following words:
bookmarks
,
files
,
database
,
wps
,
settings
,
recording
,
radio
,
playlists
,
plugins
,
system_menu
,
shortcuts
. Each of the words,
if it occurs in the list, activates the appropriate item in the main menu. The order of
the items is given by the order of the words in the list. The items whose words do not
occur in the list will be hidden, with one exception: the menu item
Settings
will be
shown even if its word is not in the list (it is added as the last item then).
The following configuration example will change the main menu so that it will contain
only the items for the file browser, for resuming the playback, and for changing the
settings (the latter will be added automatically).
Example
root menu order:files,wps
To reset the menu items to the default, use
root menu order:-
(i.e. use a hyphen
instead of “items”).
This configuration entry can only be created and edited with a text editor or the Main
Menu Config Plugin (see section
(page
)). It is not possible to change this
setting via the settings menu.
13.1.2. Getting Extras
Rockbox supports custom fonts. A collection of fonts is available for download in the
font package at
http://www.rockbox.org/daily.shtml
13.1.3. Loading Fonts
Rockbox can load fonts dynamically. Simply copy the
.fnt
file to the player and “play”
it in the
File Browser
. If you want a font to be loaded automatically every time you
start up, it must be located in the
/.rockbox/fonts
directory and the filename must
be at most 24 characters long. You can browse the fonts in
/.rockbox/fonts
under
The Rockbox manual
