User manual

Plugins are little programs that Rockbox can load and run. Plugins have the file
extension .rock. Most of them can be started from the main menu if you put them
in the /.rockbox/rocks
/.rockbox/rocks/.rockbox/rocks
/.rockbox/rocks directory. Press PLAY on them to start them.
Viewer plugins get started automatically by "playing" an associated file (i.e. text
files, chip8 games), or from the “Open with” option on the File menu.
Plugins listed here have the platforms they run under (Player for Jukebox players,
Recorder for Jukebox recorders including Jukebox FM, and Ondio for the Ondio SP
and FM). If no platforms are listed then the plugin runs on all Rockbox platforms.

Only one plugin can be loaded at a time. Plugins run in the GUI thread and have
exclusive control over the user interface. This means you cannot switch back and
forth between a plugin and Rockbox. A plugin is loaded, run and then exited,
which returns control to Rockbox. Music will carry on playing whilst plugins are
being run.

Flipping the colour of the token under the cursor also flips the tokens above,
