Settings
What's in each Settings pane, and how appearance works per profile and per space.
This page is a first draft. It may change before the public beta.
Open Settings with ⌘,. The sidebar has a search, so you can type the name of a switch instead of hunting for it.
| Pane | What's there |
|---|---|
| Arx | Your Arx identity card |
| General | Warn before quitting, Picture in Picture, Manage Search Shortcuts… |
| Profiles | Profiles, each with its search engine, appearance, history and extensions |
| Links | Proxy Links, Little Arx, Peek and link clicks, Air Traffic Control… |
| Shortcuts | Every command and its key. See Keyboard shortcuts. |
| Appearance | Window texture (film grain) |
| Developer | Developer mode. See Developer mode. |
| Advanced | Local assistants (MCP), Import…, Export Bookmarks…, Export Archive… |
Appearance
Arx follows your Mac's light or dark appearance. You can override it at two levels, and the narrower one wins:
- Per profile, in Settings → Profiles: Theme and Film grain.
- Per space, from the space's menu → Appearance.
Each is Default, which follows the level above, or a fixed choice: Light or Dark for the theme, On or Off for film grain.
Film grain
Settings → Appearance → Window texture adds grain to the sidebar and window frame. Page content stays clear.
| Setting | Default |
|---|---|
| Film grain | On |
| Intensity | 0.18, from 0 to 1 |
| Grain size | 1, from 1 to 3 |
Reset to Default puts them back.
Your identity card
The Arx pane shows a card with the number of profiles, spaces and tabs you have. Flip it over, or cycle through its 11 styles.
Quitting
Warn before quitting is on by default, so ⌘Q asks first. If downloads are running, Arx asks whether to Cancel Downloads and Quit or Keep Downloading.
