Client Appearance
Configure how the client desktop looks during active sessions in your cybercafe or gaming center. All appearance settings are managed from the server and pushed to connected clients in real-time.
Themes
Three preset themes control the overall color palette and visual style of the client desktop:
- Neon Arena -- dark base with vibrant neon accents, suited for gaming-focused environments.
- Crimson Pulse -- red and dark tones with an energetic, high-contrast feel.
- Emerald Depth -- green and emerald tones with a nature-inspired aesthetic.
Layout Presets
Four layout presets define the structural arrangement of content on the client desktop:
- Split Classic -- balanced split between the hero area and the app catalog.
- Hero Wide Top -- large hero banner at the top with the catalog below.
- Catalog Wide Bottom -- compact hero area with an expanded catalog section.
- Compact Focus -- minimal layout emphasizing a focused, clean view.
Display Configuration
Fine-tune how content is presented within the chosen layout:
| Setting | Options | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Card flow | Horizontal Scroll, Wrap to Next Line | Whether app cards scroll horizontally or wrap to fill available space. |
| Content presentation | Poster First, Icon Only | Whether app cards display poster artwork or only icons. |
