Configuration Guide

The NoraBar settings window lets you adjust the HUD appearance and how the app stays resident. Settings are saved as soon as they change.

HUD Settings

Design Style

You can switch between Minimal Floating Pill and Productivity Command Island.

• Minimal Floating Pill

  • A lightweight view around 450px wide.
  • Keeps the track title, artist, album art, waveform, and control buttons compact.

• Productivity Command Island

  • A wider view around 560px wide.
  • Gives album art more space and makes playback time easier to read.

Show Progress Bar

Toggles the bar that shows the playback position.

When enabled, Minimal shows a thin progress bar, and Productivity shows a progress bar with the current position and total duration.

Run at System Startup

Creates NoraBar.lnk in the Windows Startup folder so NoraBar launches when you sign in.

Startup launches pass the --startup argument, so only the HUD stays resident and the settings window does not open automatically.

Display Language

Switches the language used in the app.

• Japanese
• English

This affects the settings window, tray menu, and right-click menu.
