11.1.5 Changing Filetype Colours

Rockbox has the capability to modify the File Browser to show dierent letypes in dierent colours depending upon the le extension. See the ZCustomFiletypeColours Wiki page for details.

11.1.6 Loading Backdrops

Rockbox supports showing an image as a backdrop in the File Browser and the menus. The backdrop image must be a .bmp le of the exact same dimensions as the display in your player (240x320x16 with the last number giving the colour depth in bits). To use an image as a backdrop browse to it in the File Browser and open the Context Menu (see section 4.1.2 (page 22)) on it and select the option Set As Backdrop. If you want rockbox to remember your backdrop the next time you start your player the backdrop must be placed in the /.rockbox/backdrops directory.

11.2 Conguring the WPS

11.2.1 WPS { General Info

Description: The WPS or While Playing Screen is the name used to describe the infor- mation displayed on the player’s screen whilst an audio track is being played. The default WPS is a relatively simple screen displaying Track name, Artist, Album etc. in the default font as a purely text based layout. There are a number of WPS les included in Rockbox, and you can load one of these at anytime by selecting

it in General Settings ! Display ! Browse .wps files.	b
Note: \Playing" a .wps from the le browser has the same eect.
File Location: Custom WPS les may be located anywhere on the drive. The only
restriction is that they must end in .wps. When you \play" a .wps le, it will
be used for future WPS screens, and if the \played" .wps le is located in the
/.rockbox/wps directory, it will be remembered and used after reboot. The .wps
lename must be no more than 24 characters long for it to be remembered.
11.2.2 WPS { Build Your Own
Quite simply, enter the WPS code in your favourite text editor, Notepad on Windows
works ne. When you save it, instead of saving it as a .txt le, save it as a .wps
le. Example: Instead of Rockbox.txt, save the le as Rockbox.wps. To make sure non
english characters display correctly in your WPS you must save the .wps le with UTF-8
character encoding. This can be done in most editors, for example Notepad in Windows
2000 or XP (but not in 9x/ME) can do this. See appendix section B (page 142) for all
the tags that are available.
 All characters not preceded by % are displayed as typed.
