11.1.5 Changing Filetype Colours
Rockbox has the capability to modify the File Browser to show different filetypes in
different colours depending upon the file extension. See the
Wiki page for details.
11.1.6 Loading Backdrops
Rockbox supports showing an image as a backdrop in the F
menus. The backdrop image must be a .bmp file of the exact same dimensions as the
display in your player (220x176x16 with the last number giving the colour depth in
bits). To use an image as a backdrop browse to it in the F

player the backdrop must be placed in the /.rockbox/backdrops directory.
11.2 Configuring the WPS
11.2.1 WPS – General Info
Description: The WPS or While Playing Screen is the name used to describe the in-
formation 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, Al-
bum etc. in the default font as a purely text based layout. There are a number
of WPS files included in Rockbox, and you can load one of these at anytime by
selecting it in G
a related option to browse .rwps files for player's with LCD remote controls in-
stalled. This will load a similar WPS screen for the remote but with usually a
simpler and more concise layout.
Note: "Playing" a .wps from the file browser has the same effect.
File Location: Custom WPS files may be located anywhere on the drive. The only
restriction is that they must end in .wps. When you "play" a .wps file, it will
be used for future WPS screens, and if the "played" .wps file is located in the
/.rockbox/wps directory, it will be remembered and used after reboot. The
.wps filename 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 fine. When you save it, instead of saving it as a .txt file, save it as a .wps
file. Example: Instead of Rockbox.txt, save the file as Rockbox.wps. To make sure
non english characters display correctly in your WPS you must save the .wps file with
UTF-8 character encoding. This can be done in most editors, for example Notepad in
