Look @ Me!

User interface settings let you control how you use the app. (AKA: make this thing work the way your brain thinks it should.)

Hamburgers

This section controls how menus appear. (Spoiler: they're still menus.)

Wide Songs Menu

Change the width of the menus to be wider than the default 320 pt. Tap on this to select sizes between 240 and 720 pts. (Not available on compact devices like iPhone) — basically, if you've got a tiny screen, you're outta luck, fam.

Prevent Deletions

You can swipe right to left to delete most list items found in the app. Turn on this setting to prevent accidental deletion by requiring it to be done through the context menu instead. (Translation: Stop yeeting your songs by accident.)

Use Bold Titles

This will display title text in lists to appear as bold. Default is on. (Makes 'em SCREAM at you. You're welcome.)

Use Drag & Drop Interface

Drag and drop allows you to drag content into & out of lists as well as rearrange list items where supported. Default is on. (Finger swishy-swashy for the lazy among us.)

Use Translucent Menus

This allows menus to be semi-translucent so you can view the content underneath. Default is off. (Ooh, spooky. Ghostly menus. 👻)

This section provides options for how the menubar behaves. (It's got feelings too, y'know.)

Auto Show/Hide Menubar

This switch allows the menubar to automatically hide when a song is picked using the Songs Menu. Tapping in the middle of the screen can then show the menubar again. If Auto Show/Hide Song List is enabled, showing the menubar will also open the song list. Default is off. (Peek-a-boo, menubar edition.)

Background Color

The background color of the menubar that appears in the song viewer. This can be used to reduce the transparency of the menubar. (Make it less see-through. Revolutionary.)

Icon Color

The color of icons that appear on the menubar in the song viewer. (Pick a color, any color. We got 'em all.)

Selected Icon Color

The color of icons selected in vertical menubar mode. (Highlight the important stuff so your eyeballs know what's up.)

Prevent Menubar From Hiding

The visibility of the menubar automatically toggles on & off when you tap in the middle of the song viewer. You can disable any kind of menubar toggling by turning on this option. The first time the user taps in the middle of the screen, a prompt appears to configure this setting. Default is off. (Stop the menubar from playing hide-and-seek with you.)

Reverse Menubar

Some users prefer to have the Songs Menu on the right of the screen. You can flip the menubar to mirror its contents by turning this option on. Default is off. (Lefty? Righty? We don't judge. Much.)

Show Setlist Progress

OnSong can now display a thin, teal line in the menubar to indicate the progress through a set list. You can toggle this setting to turn off the progress bar. (Teal line go brrrr. Or not. Your call.)

Statusbar Hides With Menubar

When you hide the menubar, the statusbar also hides to create as much space for the app as possible. You can disable this to keep the status bar active along with the current time & system information. (Vanishing act: now you see the clock, now you don't.)

Style

Defines the layout of the overall app. (The drip. The aesthetic. The whole vibe.)

Interface Style

By default, OnSong displays the menubar horizontally across the top edge of the screen. You can change this to Vertical which displays menus along an edge of the screen instead. This can be useful for split screen control where menus don't overlap content. (Tired of horizontal? Go vertical, baby.)

The reverse menubar option will move the menus to either side of the screen when the interface style is set to Vertical. (Mix & match like it's a buffet.)

Show Help Buttons

OnSong provides help for every menu & screen by displaying a question mark next to the title. Default is on. (Little question marks everywhere. We're basically holding your hand. You're welcome.)

Show Screen Touches

This features will show a translucent & radiating circle in the app color when you touch the screen. This can be handy when capturing videos for tutorial content. (Watch your fingers glow. It's hypnotic. Don't blame us when you get distracted.)
