Anchor Settings

The Nautilus control center — display, network, audio, theme, and system info in a single window.

  • Launch: python3 apps/anchor/main.py or Ctrl+Alt+,
  • Memory target: ~20 MB

Overview

Anchor is a five-tab settings panel: Display, Network, Audio, Theme, and About. It reuses the Nautilus design tokens and applies theme changes live.

Tabs

Display

  • Resolution, scaling, and refresh-rate controls.
  • Appearance toggles.

Network

  • Wi-Fi network combos.
  • Real Bluetooth scan (a QThread scanner; optional bleak, with a PowerShell fallback on Windows).
  • Honest VPN/proxy status (it reports what it actually detects).
  • Public IP check via api.ipify.org from a background thread.

Audio

  • Device selection, volume, balance, and gain sliders.
  • SFX toggles.

Theme

  • Live QColorDialog overrides of the 10 Nautilus color tokens, with a reset-to-defaults button.

About
