Look & Feel (Surprise, It Matters!)
Okay, so like... your ears are basically dead or somethin', so we built you a blinky blinky metronome instead. Groundbreaking, amirite? The visual settings section in the metronome digs is where you pretend you're a light designer & make it look however you want.
The Rainbow of Shame
This is the color that flashes when the beat hits—or when you're about to totally mess up the timing. Make 'em different colors so you can tell the important beat from all the other beats that don't matter as much. The down beat color is like... the first one. The up beat color is like... literally everything else.
Tap a row & boom—the Color Picker Extravaganza shows up so you can either geek out on custom colors or just grab one of these lazy presets:
- Black is basically the "pretend the metronome doesn't exist" button.
- Red flashes red. Shocking, we know.
- Orange flashes orange. (Still shocked.)
- Green flashes green. (The pattern continues.)
- Blue flashes blue. (Wow, who coulda guessed.)
- Purple flashes purple. (We're running outta words.)
- Pink flashes pink. (Seriously.)
- Grey flashes grey. (This is gettin' ridiculous.)
Menubar Blinky-Blinks
The visual metronome makes OnSong's menubar have a seizure. You can turn down how intense this light show gets. Options are Off to 100% in 10% chunks. Default is basically IN YOUR FACE at 100%.
Main Screen Flashy-Flash
Beyond just the menubar gettin' all epileptic, OnSong can also flash the border of your main screen like some kinda rave. Totes useful if you're rockin' without a menubar or you need to be hit with a clue-by-four. Crank the opacity from Off to 100% in 10% increments. Default is LOOK AT ME at 100%. Oh, & you can make that border thicker too, cuz why not:
- None turns off the border freak-out. Default.
- Hairline does a super chill 1-pixel border (barely there vibes).
- Thin does a 2-pixel border (still kinda shy).
- Medium does a 4-pixel border (gettin' there).
- Thick does an 8-pixel border (okay, now we're talking).
- Thicker does a 12-pixel border (HELLO).
- Thickest does a 24-pixel border (ARE YOU EVEN PAYIN' ATTENTION?).
External Screen Shenanigans
So your bandmates also need a metronome on their stage monitors or whatever. This is where you make that happen & customize the crazy. Opacity goes from Off to 100% in 10% increments. Default is chillin' at 80% (cuz they're not as important as you, obvs). Plus you can make the border thicc:
- None turns off the border flashin' on the metronome.
- Hairline does a super subtle 1-pixel border.
- Thin does a 2-pixel border.
- Medium does a 4-pixel border. Default (the Goldilocks zone).
- Thick does an 8-pixel border.
- Thicker does a 12-pixel border.
- Thickest does a 24-pixel border (your bandmates will get the hint).
