Scrolling
This feature controls how text will scroll in Rockbox. You can configure the
following parameters:
Scroll Speed:
Controls how many times per second the scrolling text moves a
step.
Scroll Start Delay:
Controls how many milliseconds Rockbox should wait be-
fore a new text begins scrolling.
Bidirectional Scroll Limit:
Rockbox has two different scroll methods: always
scrolling the text to the left and when the line has ended beginning again at
the start, or moving to the left until you can read the end of the line and scroll
right until you see the beginning again. Rockbox chooses which method it
should use depending of how much it has to scroll left. This setting lets you
tell Rockbox where that limit is, expressed in percentage of line length.
Jump Scroll:
This setting makes text scroll a page at a time instead of a character
at a time. If set to O
NE TIME
, 2, 3 or 4 it will scroll a line in paged mode that
many times and then scroll it a character at a time. If set to A
LWAYS
lines
will always scroll in paged mode.
Jump Scroll Delay:
Controls how long the delay is before a page is scrolled.
Paged Scrolling:
When enabled scrolling will page up/down instead of chang-
ing lines. This can be useful on slow displays.
Default Codepage:
A codepage describes the way extended characters that aren’t avail-
able within the ASCII character set are encoded. ID3v1 tags don’t have a code-
page encoding contained so Rockbox needs to know what encoding has been
used when generating these tags. This should be “ISO-8859-1” but to support
languages outside Western Europe most applications use the setting of your op-
erating system instead. If your operating system uses a different codepage and
you’re getting garbled extended characters you should adjust this settings. In
most cases sticking to “ISO-8859-1” would be sufficient.
