Panel and Size

Panel & Size

These settings live on the Panel tab of the settings panel. They control the box the verse sits in: its colour, transparency, and dimensions.

Background colour and transparency

• Use the background colour sliders (Red / Green / Blue) and the preview swatch to pick a colour.
• Use the opacity slider to set how see-through the panel is. Lower means more transparent; higher means more solid. You can also type the exact numbers.

The default is a dark, mostly transparent panel that blends with most wallpapers.

Opacity vs. colour: these are separate on purpose. You can change the colour without disturbing the transparency, and vice versa.

Border transparency

The panel has a thin border. A separate border opacity slider controls how visible that border is. Turn it right down for a borderless look, or up for a crisper edge.

Width

Two choices:

• Automatic (the default) - a comfortable fixed width chosen for you.
• Fixed - untick "auto" to reveal a box where you type an exact width in pixels.

Height

Two choices:

• Automatic (the default) - the panel grows or shrinks to fit the verse, so long verses are never cut off and short verses are not surrounded by empty space.
• Fixed - untick "auto" to reveal a box where you type an exact height in pixels.

For most people, automatic height is the best choice because verses vary in length.

Show or hide the icons

Two checkboxes let you tidy up the panel:

• Show settings icon - hide the three-slider icon for a cleaner look. (If you hide it, see the note below on getting settings back.)
• Show next-verse arrow - hide the little arrow next to the reference. You can still change verses with the Change verse button on the Verse tab.

Hid the settings icon and need it back? Open Rainmeter, go to Manage, and load AlQuranQuote\Settings. The settings panel reopens.

Quote windows

The Quote windows control sets how many verse panels appear (one per monitor, up to 8). This has its own page: Multiple Windows.
