UI Tweaks

Dark Mode

The UI support light and dark modes automatically.

Left and Right Messages

By default, user posted messages are shown to the right, while other messages are shown to the left. See below:

However some user prefer all messages to be on the left. Such as:

To enable this edit the crow.conf.override file (see Advanced Configuration) and add the following as a top-level key:

"ui": {
  "message": {
    "align": "left"
  }
}

Channel ID/Key Format

Crow accepts channel ID/Keys as either base64 or hex encoded strings but by default displays them as base64 encoded. If you want to see hex encodings instead (useful for sharing keys with MeshCore users) you can add this top-level key:

"ui": {
  "key": {
    "format": "hex"
  }
}
