Settings is where you change how the Windows app looks and behaves, and where you sign in. Open it with Settings at the bottom of the navigation pane, or press Ctrl+,.
The tabs
Settings has three tabs. A fourth, Advanced, appears when you turn on the advanced view, see Normal and advanced view.
| Tab | What it holds |
|---|---|
| General | Look and feel, language, notifications, startup, your account, updates, local data, and the switch for the advanced view. Described below. |
| Connectors | The services Haruno can connect to, each with its status, and filters such as Storage & files, Mail, Calendar, Messaging and Notes. Below the list, the Agent browser section controls whether Haruno may open a browser window for you, which sites it may open, and which sites it is signed in to. |
| Shortcuts | The keys for app commands. See Keyboard shortcuts. |
| Advanced | Only in the advanced view. See Advanced settings. |
The General tab
Every change on this tab applies at once. There is no Save button.
| Row | What it does |
|---|---|
| Theme | Default follows Windows. Or choose Light or Dark. |
| Chat zoom | Makes chat text and content larger or smaller, from 80% to 160% on the slider. |
| Language | The language of the app. See Language and appearance. |
| Notifications | Tells you when Haruno needs permission, asks a question or finishes, while the window is in the background. |
| Global shortcut | Lets you press Ctrl+Alt+Space anywhere in Windows to show or hide Haruno. On by default. |
| Launch at startup | Starts Haruno in the system tray when you sign in to Windows. Off by default. |
| Account | Signing in and out, and the state of your license. See below. |
| Automatic updates | Downloads updates in the background and applies them when you restart. On by default. |
| Local data | Removes what Haruno keeps on this PC. See below. |
| Advanced view | Shows more settings and controls. Off by default. |
If another program already uses Ctrl+Alt+Space, the global shortcut quietly does nothing. When Haruno starts at sign-in it stays hidden in the tray until you open it. The one exception is while the welcome screen is showing, which always stays visible.
Account and license
The Account row shows whether you are signed in, and the state of your license next to it, for example License: Active.
- Signed out. The row says Sign in through the Haruno dashboard to connect your account. and offers Sign in with browser. It opens your browser, as in Getting started. Cancel sign-in appears while it waits.
- Signed in. The row says Signed in as and your email address, with a Sign out button.
The license line can read, among others, Active., Unpaid., Budget exhausted. or Cannot reach server. Signing out takes the sign-in off this PC. The next time you start Haruno, the welcome screen asks you to sign in again.
Local data
Delete local data is for starting over on this PC, or before handing the PC on. It asks first.
The box says it signs you out and removes every connector sign-in, downloaded file, session, memory and setting that Haruno keeps on this PC. Files inside your own project folders are left alone. Haruno then closes, and the next start begins from scratch.
It clears what Haruno keeps on this PC, and nothing else. Point a customer who asks how to wipe Haruno from a PC to this button.
What to tell a customer
- Most people never need to open Settings, apart from signing in.
- The theme and the language apply at once, with no restart.
- The advanced view is a switch on this tab, see the next pages.
