ZOMG, Lemme Add Some Spicy Deets

To cook up a shiny new message, tap that + button chillin' in the lower right corner of the messages menu. Boom. New Messages screen. You're welcome.

Fill in the stuff below & tap Done to lock in your message & bounce back to the messages list. Tap Cancel if you're havin' second thoughts & wanna bail.

Title

The title is literally just what you're gonna call this thing in your messages list. Could be short, could be weird, totally different from the actual message y'all are sendin'. Skip it? Cool, the app just uses the message itself. Lazy but we get it.

Message

This is the actual text that's gonna show up on screen for your peeps. Make it as long as you want—we don't judge. The font'll shrink or grow to fit the screen like magic. (Okay, not magic. Code. But it feels magical.)

Color

Pick a color & OnSong will use it when showin' the message in lists & flashin' it on screen (both the text & the flash itself). Colors = instant info dump. Text is overrated anyway. These two combined? Chef's kiss signaling tool right there.

Just tap a color & boom, it's yours. Wanna add custom colors or get all artsy with the message palette? Peep the Yummy Color Thingamajig feature.

Duration

By default, messages hang around for like a third of a second per word, plus whatever time it takes to blink on & off. Riveting stuff. But hey, you can set a custom duration if you're feelin' spicy.

Wanna tweak how long per word? Dive into The Boring Menu Abyss » Don't Touch Anything » Look At Pretty Lights » Song Starer » Flash Message.
