Subject to the limitations of each particular platform, the appearance of Rockbox can be customised in various ways. Fonts and foreground and background colours can be added and selected, while a simple [[markup language]] can be used to create themes for the menu and playback screens.<ref>{{cite web|title=Customising the User Interface|url=http://download.rockbox.org/daily/manual/rockbox-sansaclipplus/rockbox-buildap2.html#x17-339000B.1.4|work=Rockbox Manual|access-date=May 22, 2011}}</ref> These themes can include backgrounds and other images (such as icons), plus various formats for file names, [[ID3|ID3 tags]], album art, file progress, and time and system information.

Rockbox has essentially been a file-tree based player, to which folders could be dragged and dropped and then navigated by folder structure. However, more recent versions have included a complementary database feature which allows the player to compile information from the files' ID3 tags.<ref>{{cite web|title=Database|url=http://download.rockbox.org/daily/manual/rockbox-sansaclipplus/rockbox-buildch4.html#x7-430004.2|work=Rockbox Manual|access-date=May 22, 2011}}</ref> The user can then navigate the files regardless of file structure.
