Window behavior, overlay server address, canvas size, appearance, and profiles
Profiles & Settings
Profiles
See Getting Started → Profiles for the full picture — a profile bundles overlays, integration tokens, and settings into one switchable unit, managed from the profile menu in the title bar.
Settings
All settings below are app-wide, not per-overlay, and live under Settings in the sidebar.
Window
- Minimize to tray — see Getting Started → Minimizing to tray for exactly what this does and why it fully closes the window rather than just hiding it.
Overlay server address
Host and port of the local server that serves every overlay page for OBS's Browser Source — shared by all of them at once, so changing it here updates every scene's OBS link together. Widening the host beyond 127.0.0.1 makes overlays reachable from other devices on your local network with no authentication — only do this if you need a second machine to reach an overlay, and use this machine's real LAN IP in OBS instead of the placeholder host.
Canvas
The stream canvas' default resolution and aspect ratio — used only to size overlay previews inside the app so their proportions match what OBS will actually show. It does not control the Browser Source's own size/position in OBS, which you set separately there. Any individual scene can override this default with its own custom canvas size — see Scene Builder → Canvas size.
Appearance & language
- Color theme — Light, Dark, or System.
- Interface language — the app's own UI language (independent of which locale you're reading this documentation in).
- Custom themes/languages — download an example config file to see the expected format, edit it, and upload it back to add your own theme or language. An invalid file (missing the required
mode/colorsordictionaryfield) is rejected with an explanation.
Help
- Show the walkthrough again — replays the app-wide onboarding tour from Getting Started.
- Scene Builder's own, more detailed walkthrough is separate — open any scene and click Tutorial in its toolbar.
