display saves battery power but turning on the display takes noticeably longer

than just turning on the backlight.

Brightness. Changes the brightness of your LCD display.

Contrast. Changes the contrast of your LCD display.

Warning: Setting the contrast too dark or too light can make it hard to ﬁnd

this menu option again!

LCD Mode. This setting lets you invert the colours of the display.

Upside Down. Displays the screen so that the top of the display is nearest the

buttons. This is sometimes useful when carrying the player in a pocket for

easy access to the headphone socket.

Scrolling. This feature controls how text will scroll in Rockbox. You can conﬁgure the

following parameters:

Scroll Speed. Sets how many times per second the automatic horizontal scrolling

text will move a step.

Scroll Start Delay. Controls how many milliseconds Rockbox should wait before

a new text begins automatically scrolling.

Scroll Step Size. Deﬁnes the number of pixels the text should move for each step,

as used by the Scroll Speed setting.

Bidirectional Scroll Limit. Rockbox has two diﬀerent automatic horizontal scrolling

methods: 1) always scrolling the text to the left until the line has ended and

then beginning again at the start, and 2) moving to the left until you can

read the end of the line and then scrolling right until you see the beginning

again. Rockbox chooses which method it should use depending of how much

it has to scroll to the left. This setting lets you tell Rockbox where that limit

is, expressed in percentage of the line length.

Screen Scrolls Out of View. Screens can be manually scrolled horizontally by

pressing Long Next/Prev. Setting this option to Yes will keep the list

entries at their ﬁxed positions and allow them to be scrolled out of view,

whereas No will only scroll those entries which surpass the right margin.

Screen Scroll Step Size. Deﬁnes the number of pixels the horizontal manual screen

scroll should move for each step.

Paged Scrolling. When set to Yes scrolling vertically on pages that surpass the

screen size will page up/down instead of simply changing lines. This can be

useful on slow displays.

List Acceleration Start Delay. This setting enables the acceleration of scroll speed
