12. Advanced Topics

12.1. Customising the User Interface

12.1.1. 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

12.3

(page

153

)) 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. It is not

possible to change this setting via the settings menu.

12.1.2. 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

12.1.3. 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

Settings

→

Theme Settings

in the

Main Menu
