DRAFT VERSION
CHAPTER 4. THE MAIN MENU 24
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 FILE MENU (see section 3.2.2 (page
14)) or using the PLAYLIST OPTIONS menu. Both automatically and manually created
playlists can be edited using this menu.
Create Playlist: Rockbox will create a playlist with all tracks in the current directory
and all subdirectories. The playlist will be created one folder level “up” from
where you currently are.
View Current Playlist: Displays the contents of the playlist currently stored in mem-
ory.
Save Current Playlist: Saves the current dynamic playlist, excluding queued tracks,
to the specified file. If no path is provided then playlist is saved to current direc-
tory (see section 3.2.3 (page 15)).
Recursively Insert Directories: If set to ON, then when a directory is inserted or
queued into a dynamic playlist, all subdirectories will also be inserted. If set
to ASK, Rockbox will prompt the user about whether to include subdirectories.
Options: OFF, ASK, ON
Warn When Erasing Dynamic Playlist: If set to YES, Rockbox will provide a warn-
ing if the user attempts to take an action that will cause Rockbox to erase the
current dynamic playlist. Options: YES, NO
4.9. Browse Plugins

box. There are a wide variety of these supplied with Rockbox, including several games,
some impressive demos and a number of utilities. A detailed description of the differ-
ent plugins is to be found in section 7 (page 37).
