{{:songviewer:song_viewer_settings-labeled.png|}}

===== 1. Save and Close =====
Click this button to save your settings and close.

===== 2. Select Song Folder =====
When you click this button, a folder selection dialog will open where you can select a folder from where your song files will be displayed in [[songviewer:controlwindow:modes#folder_mode|folder mode]].

===== 3. Start mode =====
Select either [[songviewer:controlwindow:modes#folder_mode|Folder mode]] or [[songviewer:controlwindow:modes#account_mode|Account mode]] as startup mode.

For [[songviewer:controlwindow:modes#account_mode|Account mode]], you need to [[songviewer:controlwindow:settings#connectdisconnect|connect]] an account first.

===== 4. Color selection =====
Select the colors for the [[songviewer:contentwindow:contentarea|content area]].

This way, you can easily customize the look of how your chord files are displayed.\\
The initial colors are:

  *Text: <color white/black>//White//</color>
  *Background: <color white/black>//Black//</color>
  *Chords: <color lightseagreen/black>//LightSeaGreen//</color>
  *Comments: <color silver/black>//Silver//</color>

Sections will be displayed as inverted comments. So the background color will be the text color and the comments color will be the background color.

As an example for a light theme, try this:

  *Text: <color black/whitesmoke>//Black//</color>
  *Background: <color black/whitesmoke>//WhiteSmoke//</color>
  *Chords: <color crimson/whitesmoke>//Crimson//</color>
  *Comments: <color firebrick/whitesmoke>//Firebrick//</color>
===== 5. Show/Hide Content View Elements =====
You can show or hide different elements in the content area.\\
This way, you only see, what you need.

If you only need chords and sections, uncheck **comments** and **text**.\\
The text and comment lines will not be display anymore.\\
If you only need the text, uncheck all but **text**.

This is helpful if you have a band and e.g. your singer only needs the text.\\
You can share the same setlist and all are able to display the files to their own needs.
===== 6. StreamerSonglist.com user name =====
Enter your StSL username in this field to automatically search for your StSL song IDs in [[songmanager:account|Account Manager]].

If you already have an account, you can enter either e-mail address or username and your password here to connect your account.

The license will be bound to your account until you delete it. After deletion, it will be free for a new registration.

You can only create __one account per license__, but you can use the account on as many different computers, you want.

If you need more than one account, you need one license key per account, but you also will need one e-mail address per account, because you can't create two accounts with the same e-mail address or username.
