Settings & Personalization
Windows
LeviLauncher includes a large settings area so you can tune paths, appearance, component management, privacy choices, and update behavior.
Main settings sections
The app groups settings into several sections, including:
- Basic Settings
- Personalization
- Third-party Components
- Others
- Privacy
- Updates
- About
What you can adjust
Paths and storage
- base content path
- writable location for managed files
- environment placement that suits your disk layout
Appearance
- language
- light or dark preference
- theme color behavior
- background and visual personalization options
Wallpaper and interface material
Choose an image folder under Personalization → Wallpaper → Background Image, then open Personalization → Materials and readability to adjust Interface material, the layer between the wallpaper and the content. Navigation, cards, tabs, form controls and popup surfaces share one material system. Light and dark profiles are saved separately and applied automatically with the app theme; the Light Mode / Dark Mode buttons in the material editor only select the profile to edit and preview.
| Setting | Behavior |
|---|---|
| Balanced | Default preset: soft glass with readability protection turned on |
| Clear | More wallpaper shows through the cards, with readability protection turned off; best with simple, low-contrast images |
| Solid | Opaque cards without card blur; wallpaper remains visible outside cards |
| Interface opacity | Changes neutral interface surface tints without fading text, icons or buttons |
| Interface blur | Controls blur behind panels, navigation and popup surfaces; image blur affects the entire wallpaper |
| Wallpaper overlay | Softens the wallpaper with a light tint in light mode and a dark tint in dark mode, separately from image brightness and opacity |
| Readability protection | Applies a conservative minimum tint based on theme, brightness, image opacity and blur, and strengthens secondary text |
The live preview shares the loaded image and rendering parameters with the main window. When protection increases the effective card opacity, the editor displays the applied value. This calculation does not analyze or upload the image. Reset this theme restores only the material profile being edited; it does not clear the image folder or the other theme's profile.
Use Next image when the folder contains multiple pictures. Sequential order uses natural filename sorting; Random order avoids repeating the current image. When no image is selected, the image cannot be loaded, or image opacity is 0, the interface returns to ordinary surfaces. Higher contrast, reduced transparency and unsupported backdrop filters use solid fallback surfaces.
Third-party Components
- built-in package manager (compatible with lip; nothing to install or update): set the GitHub proxy used for package downloads (shown while Use mirror sources is on), or use Clean Cache to remove downloaded package files
Privacy
- usage analytics (Google Analytics), which you can turn off at any time
- links to the Google Analytics terms and Google privacy policy
Updates
- update checks
- Receive Beta Updates to get prerelease launcher updates
Recommended defaults
- keep managed files on a writable drive with enough free space
- leave Receive Beta Updates off unless you want prerelease launcher builds
- change appearance only after your base setup works well
When to review settings
Review settings whenever you:
- move your installation to another drive
- see write permission errors
- want separate personalization per machine
- need to troubleshoot downloads or component detection
