13.1.5. Changing Filetype Colours

Rockbox has the capability to modify the File Browser to show files of different types
in different colours, depending on the file extension.
Set-up
There are two steps to changing the filetype colours – creating a file with the extension
.colours and then activating it using a config file. The .colours files must be stored
in the /.rockbox/themes/ directory. The .colours file is just a text file, and can be
edited with your text editor of choice.
Creating the .colours file
The .colours file consists of the file extension (or folder) followed by a colon and then
the colour desired as an RGB value in hexadecimal, as in the following example:
folder:808080
mp3:00FF00
ogg:00FF00
txt:FF0000
???:FFFFFF
The permissible extensions are as follows:
folder, m3u, m3u8, cfg, wps, lng, rock, bmark, cue, colours, mpa, mi4, mp1,
