11.1.5. Loading Backdrops

Rockbox supports showing an image as a backdrop in the File Browser and the menus.
The backdrop image must be a .bmp file of the exact same dimensions as the display in
your player (240 320 16 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
you want rockbox to remember your backdrop the next time you start your player the
backdrop must be placed in the /.rockbox/backdrops directory.

11.1.6. UI Viewport

By default, the UI is drawn on the whole screen. This can be changed so that the UI is
confined to a specific area of the screen, by use of a UI viewport. This is done by adding
the following line to the .cfg file for a theme:
ui viewport: X,Y,[width],[height],[font],[fgcolour],[bgcolour]
Only the first two parameters have to be specified, the others can be omitted using
'-' as a placeholder. The syntax is very similar to WPS viewports (see section
(page 171)). Briefly:
'fgcolour' and 'bgcolour' are 6-digit RGB888 colours, e.g. FF00FF.
'font' is a number: 0 is the built-in system font, 1 is the user-selected font.
ui viewport: 15,20,100,150,-,-,-
This displays the menu starting at 15px from the left of the screen and 20px from the top
of the screen. It is 100px wide and 150px high. The font and the foreground/background
colours are defined in the theme .cfg file or in the Theme Settings menu.
