Settings

What belongs to the profile is under This profile; what belongs to this computer, under This computer. Everything applies at once, and every change becomes a version you can roll back.

Appearance

The theme follows Windows unless you choose light or dark. The accent colour is the window's: buttons, switches, the tab you are on and a tone over everything. A profile with a colour of its own wears it; without one, the accent applies. Vovó's icon stays wine, whatever the colour. Vovó's touches, a crochet doily behind her and in a corner of the pages and a cross-stitch trim under the header, take that colour too, faintly; turn them off there for a plain window.

Screen overlay

Ctrl+Shift+O shows and hides the screen overlay, and so does the eye in the status bar, there once it has shown and crossed out while it is hidden; switched off here, the eye goes too. It shows over windowed and borderless games; over exclusive fullscreen, Windows lets nothing on top. Captures never see it: not OBS, not Discord, not a screenshot. On with nothing to show, it says so for three seconds.

Notifications

Clicking a Windows notification opens Vovó on the bell, and Windows' Do not disturb also applies. During the live they wait in the bell, because Windows cannot keep its own out of a display capture; the sounds still play, on the private sound device, which only you hear. Windows' sounds follow your sound scheme in the Control Panel: set to "No sounds", they stay silent. The bell's count shows on Vovó's taskbar button and, with Vovó only in the tray, as a dot on its icon. "Any chat message" goes silent by itself above 20 messages a minute.

Window and tray

Started by Windows in the tray, Vovó shows only its icon, with overlays and the pad ready. Closing the window keeps it running in the tray (the first time, a notification says so); to quit, use the icon's menu, on a right-click. A click on the icon opens Vovó. The wink as it opens goes with a click or a key. As she winks she says her name, on the private sound device and never during a live; either can be switched off here.

Backup

The automatic backup is a .zip with the database and the files of actions and sounds, daily or weekly, the newest kept. Passwords and tokens never go in it: restored on another computer, the integrations ask to be connected again. Restoring first makes a backup of the present. With Songs too on, the music's songs are kept once beside the backups, however many are kept, and a restore puts back the songs the music folder lacks. To another computer makes one file now, with everything and the songs of the profiles you choose; on the new computer, or after Windows is reinstalled, Restore… takes it. A restore brings back everything, or one profile alone: it takes the place of the profile here with its name, its scenes keeping their addresses in OBS, and undo brings back the one that was here; the other profiles stay as they are. The version history keeps every change for as long as you choose (a day to a year, or for good), and the team's conversation lasts as long; restoring a version saves a new one and never deletes one. As it closes, off air, Vovó takes away what it no longer needs: the speech, covers, emotes and recordings of a day ago or more, and the files of what was deleted once the history that could bring it back has run out. The log says how much went. Erasing everything leaves Vovó as on the first day, after a backup.

Updates

With Vovó installed, updates are checked 5 minutes after it starts and then daily. Each new version comes signed, is checked before anything changes and takes effect at the next start. Over the network go only what you set up: the services you connect, the relay while devices from anywhere, inbound webhooks or guests are on, your AI provider with your key, your webhooks' addresses, STUN and TURN while a guest shares their screen, and the address for updates, plus a report when you write one and send it; nothing else: no account, no telemetry.
