Things to do in the first hour

Before you start

Steps

  1. Set the brightness. Open the Display section and drag the Brightness slider; the glass follows as you drag. Mid-range suits most rooms.

  2. Choose a color scheme. Under Display, open Colorset and tap a swatch; the glass changes at once. Colorblind uses blue and yellow instead of green and red for up and down.

  3. Choose a layout. Per screen: offers One, Two and Four, how many coins share the glass at a time. One has room for a chart; Two and Four do not.

  4. Set how long each screen stays. Drag the Show Coin for: slider under the coin boxes (it reads Show Two for: or Show Four for: in those layouts). Each layout remembers its own time.

  5. Turn on the market cards. Open Show Market Info inside Global Settings and tick Market overview or Sector heat; ticking one shows that card on the glass right away.

  6. Decide about the address popup. Show my IP address has a QR code row and a Text row; each puts the ticker’s address on the glass on its own schedule so the page is always findable. Turn off both to stop it, or leave the defaults.

  7. Pick a page theme. The palette button beside Select coins offers dark and light themes for the page itself; it changes nothing on the ticker.

  8. Optional: lock the page. Lock in the Device section sets a password that stops anyone else on your network changing settings. Most homes do not need it.

Every section has a ? beside its title that explains it in place, and F1 opens the page’s own Help.
