A theme is basically a configuration file, stored in a specific directory, that typically
changes the WPS , font used and on some platforms additional information 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 . Some of the downloads from this site
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 that
b
switches between audio configurations for use in the car, with headphones and when
connected to an external amplifier. See section
8.2.2
(page
49
) for more details.
4.8. Playlist Options
This menu allows you to work with playlists. Playlists can be created in three ways.
Playing a file in a directory causes all the files in the directory to be placed in a playlist.
Playlists can be created manually by either using the F
