11.1.5 Changing Filetype Colours
Rockbox has the capability to modify the File Browser to show di erent letypes in di erent 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 e ect. | ||
| ||
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 |
| |
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. |
