Title bar

The bar on the top of the app window is the Title bar. It primarily provides general functions, such as window controls, access to settings, and quick access to the REAPER transport.

Hide window

Hides the app window.

Hiding the window doesn’t completely unload the app, it really just hides it. In order to close it for good, use undefined.

Full screen

Toggles between full-screen and windowed mode.

Move window

Drag this button to move the window. Useful when the window is very narrow, in which case the main drag area in the center will disappear.

Shows or hides the navigation bar on the left.

Theme mode

Switches between dark, light, and automatic theme modes. In automatic mode, the app will follow your system’s theme settings.

Dim

Toggles between a transparent and opaque window. Useful for quickly having a look what REAPER is doing under the hood ;)

The opacity of the opaque window can be adjusted via Dim opacity.

Settings

Opens the central settings dialog.

Refresh

Refreshes the displayed information.

Pressing this button is typically not required during normal operation. However, if there are any issues preventing Helgobox from displaying the latest information automatically, this button can help resolve the problem.

Undo

Undoes the most recent operation performed within this Playtime matrix.

Redo

Redoes the most recent operation that was undone within this Playtime matrix.

Quick theme switcher

Cycle through all available themes.

Themes are simply pre-selected combinations of various appearance settings. Once you’ve selected a theme, you can further customize it by adjusting the settings.
