You open the settings at the bottom of the bar with “Settings”. The sections: General, Incoming, Account, Keyboard shortcuts, Integrations, File rules, Plugins and Backups.
AppearanceLink to “Appearance”
- Appearance
- “System”, “Light”, “Dark” or “Sonodex”. “Sonodex” (since 2.2.1) brings the look of this website into the app: graphite and violet, Inter, softer corners; since 2.2.2 with the website’s animated dither texture and a soft light that follows the mouse. With reduced motion it stands still. You can also switch between Light and Dark in the View menu → “Theme”.
- Language
- “Deutsch” (default) or “English”. See Language.
- Waveform style
- “RGB (Rekordbox)” (default) colours by frequency; “3-band blue/yellow”, “3-band blue/red” and “3-band colour-blind-friendly” show lows, mids and highs as layers; “Energy (simplified)” shows only the loudness. A legend explains the colours.
