apperance of Rockbox.
Browse Themes.
This option will display all the currently installed themes on the
player, press

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
Z
WpsIriverH300
. 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

(page

) for
more details.
