  1. RokBox, the successor of our popular RokZoom plugin, is a mootools powered JavaScript slideshow that allows you to quickly and easily display multiple media formats including images, videos (video sharing services also) and music.
  2. <br><br>
  3. The plugin provides a theme system that allows you to create your own custom ones to fit your websites design. It includes two predefined themes, a Light theme and a Dark theme that will fit seemlessly into your site design. RokBox is as easy as pie to install and customize, providing an easy way to create your own custom themes for it.

  5. <h3>Demos</h3>
  6. <p>Below you will find some examples of the syntax used for a variety of RokBox functions.</p>
  7. <p>At any time, you can switch between Light theme and Dark theme by clicking on the buttons below.</p>
