the tree view use Down and Up to move around the selection. Use Navi or Right to
select an item. When browsing the file system selecting an audio file plays it. The view
switches to the "While playing screen", usually abbreviated as "WPS" (see section
(page 28). The dynamic playlist gets replaced with the contents of the current directory.
This way you can easily treat directories as playlists. The created dynamic playlist can
be extended or modified while playing. This is also known as "on-the-fly playlist". To

3.1.7 Basic concepts

Playlists
Rockbox is playlist oriented. This means that every time you play an audio file, a so-
called "dynamic playlist" is generated, unless you play a saved playlist. You can mod-
ify the dynamic playlist while playing and also save it to a file. If you do not want to
use playlists you can simply play your files directory based. Playlists are covered in
detail in section 4.4
Menu
From the menu you can customise Rockbox. Rockbox itself is very customisable. Also
there are some special menus for quick access to frequently used functions.
Context Menu
Some views, especially the file browser and the WPS have a context menu. From the
file browser this can be accessed with Long Navi. The contents of the context menu
vary, depending on the situation it gets called. The context menu itself presents you
with some operations you can perform with the currently highlighted file. In the file
browser this is the file (or directory) that is highlighted by the cursor. From the WPS this
is the currently playing file. Also there are some actions that do not apply to the current
file but refer to the screen from which the context menu gets called. One example is the
playback menu, which can be called using the context menu from within the WPS.

3.2 Customising Rockbox

Rockbox' User Interface can be customised using "Themes". Themes usually only affect
the visual appearance, but an advanced user can create a theme that also changes vari-
ous other settings like file view, LCD settings and all other settings that can be modified
using .cfg files. This topic is discussed in more detail in section
Rockbox distribution comes with some themes that should look nice on your player.
Note: Some of the themes shipped with Rockbox need additional fonts from the fonts
