How to add themes!
« on: December 16, 2007, 05:36:06 PM »
I have downloaded the Aqua Large font theme for my player!  

How do i get it on the player?

First time user looked at all the manuals and can't find a clear answer the theme i downloaded is supposedly compatible with the latest build with no patches needed!

If it's properly packaged then you only need to unzip it to the root of your player.  If the archive has everything in a .rockbox folder then you're probably in good shape.  Alternatively, you could use Rockbox Utility to install the theme for you.

Hey yeah it is not in a zip format and instead the file format is aqua.rar!  Any ideas where i need to drag and drop it or should i just stay away from it completly?  Thanks for the help guys! Peace!

a .rar file is another form of archive file (like .zip)

You will need to find an unzip program that will extract .rar files  Do a google search and you should be able to find a good freeware program that will do it.

Then follow the instructions listed in this thread.
