The preferences that decide how Visibox behaves rather than what it plays.

General settings, grouped into Language, Launch, Display, Content and Advanced.

---

## Language

**Language** sets the language of the Visibox interface. **System Default** follows your computer’s language. Everything repaints as soon as you pick, with no restart. This is the only place the language is set.

## Launch

| Setting | What it does |
| --- | --- |
| **Launch at Login** | Start Visibox when you log in to your computer. |
| **Reopen Projects on Launch** | Reopen the Projects that were open when you last quit. On by default. |
| **Launch Full Screen** | Start with the Output already full screen. Made for a machine that does nothing but run the show. |
| **Play on Launch** | Start playback as soon as the Project is open. |

On Windows, Launch at Login is grayed when Windows is managing it. **Turned off in Task Manager > Startup apps.** means you switched Visibox off there; turn it back on in the same place. **Set by your organization.** means a workplace policy decides.

Launch at Login, Reopen Projects on Launch, Launch Full Screen and Play on Launch together make an unattended setup: power on, log in, and the show is running with nobody at the keyboard.

## Display

| Setting | What it does |
| --- | --- |
| **Control Bar** | Show or hide the Control Bar across the top of the Controller. |
| **12-Hour Time** | Show the clock as 12-hour instead of 24-hour. |
| **Show Seconds** | Add seconds to the clock. |

## Content

| Setting | What it does |
| --- | --- |
| **Simple Titles for New Songs** | Name new Songs “New Song” instead of picking a random space-themed name. |
| **Auto-Assign Program ID to New Songs** | Give each new Song the next free Program ID, so MIDI program change can reach it without you setting one by hand. On by default. |
| **Confirm Before Deleting Clips** | Ask before a Clip is deleted. On by default. |
| **Trigger Clips on Press** | Fire a Clip the moment you press it rather than on release, in the Song list and in the Preview Pane alike. On by default. |

## Advanced

**Enable Beta Features** turns on the features that are still being finished. They work, but they change between releases, so leave this off on the machine you are playing a show with tonight.
