Program settings

The remaining program settings and how to back them up.

What it is for: Adapting the program to the venue and the operator: language, light or dark theme, full-screen clock, a sound when time is up, a background image, a copy of the settings for another computer.
Who can use it: Operator in the program. Sound, notifications and background image — PRO features.
Where to find it: Settings tab (shortcut F2).

1Settings tab

1 Time format — 24-hour or 12-hour, with or without seconds.
2 Clock Font and 3 Font size.
4 Clock text color.
5 Full screen clock mode — the speaker screen shows only the time of day instead of the counter.

Notifications are the messages in the corner of the program window (e.g. “Trigger added”).
1 Close notifications automatically — when off, a message stays until you click it.
2 Auto-dismiss time (seconds) — from 1 to 60 seconds.

1 Enable background image.
2 Choose image — a file from disk; 3 preview of the chosen image.
4 Separately for each output — Timer window, Web timer (/timer) and NDI output — two switches: Show background and Timer on background. “Timer on background” off = the image alone, without the timer.
Each output can look different, e.g. timer window: background with the timer, web timer: no background, NDI: the image alone.
The clock mode (the time on the full screen when no countdown is running) is also shown on the background image; with Timer on background switched off — the image alone.

Export to a .timerpro file for backup or sharing.
1 Export — saves the settings to a .timerpro file.
2 Import — loads settings from a .timerpro file (e.g. on a second computer).
3 Reset to defaults — restores the default settings (the program asks for confirmation).

Hardware acceleration (restart required) — draws the clock using the graphics card; the change works after restarting the program.
