12.1. Customising the User Interface
12.1.1. Customising The Main Menu
It is possible to customise the main menu, i.e. to reorder or to hide some of its items
(only the main menu can be customised, submenus can not). To accomplish this,
load a .cfg file (as described in section
root menu order:items, where "items" is a comma separated list (no spaces around
the commas!) of the following words: bookmarks, files, database, wps, settings,
playlists, plugins, system_menu, shortcuts. Each of the words, if it occurs in the
list, activates the appropriate item in the main menu. The order of the items is given
by the order of the words in the list. The items whose words do not occur in the list
will be hidden, with one exception: the menu item Settings will be shown even if its
word is not in the list (it is added as the last item then).
The following configuration example will change the main menu so that it will contain
only the items for the file browser, for resuming the playback, and for changing the
settings (the latter will be added automatically).
root menu order:files,wps
To reset the menu items to the default, use root menu order:- (i.e. use a hyphen
instead of "items").
This configuration entry can only be created and edited with a text editor or the Main
Menu Config Plugin (see section
setting via the settings menu.
12.1.2. Getting Extras
Rockbox supports custom fonts. A collection of fonts is available for download in the
font package at http://www.rockbox.org/daily.shtml.
12.1.3. Loading Fonts
Rockbox can load fonts dynamically. Simply copy the .fnt file to the player and "play"
it in the File Browser. If you want a font to be loaded automatically every time you
start up, it must be located in the /.rockbox/fonts directory and the filename must
be at most 24 characters long. You can browse the fonts in /.rockbox/fonts under
The Rockbox manual
