Scrolling
This feature controls how text will scroll in Rockbox. You can configure the
following parameters:
Scroll Speed:
Sets how many times per second the automatic horizontal scrolling
text will move a step.
Scroll Start Delay:
Controls how many milliseconds Rockbox should wait be-
fore a new text begins automatically scrolling.
Scroll Step Size:
Defines the number of pixels the text should move for each
step, as used by the Scroll Speed setting.
Bidirectional Scroll Limit:
Rockbox has two different automatic horizontal scrolling
methods: 1) always scrolling the text to the left until the line has ended and
then beginning again at the start, and 2) moving to the left until you can read
the end of the line and then scrolling right until you see the beginning again.
Rockbox chooses which method it should use depending of how much it
has to scroll to the left. This setting lets you tell Rockbox where that limit is,
expressed in percentage of the line length.

Screens can be manually scrolled horizontally by
pressing

screen scroll should move for each step.
Paged Scrolling:
When set to Y

screen size will page up/down instead of simply changing lines. This can be
useful on slow displays.
