General Preferences

Use Preferences ▸ General to choose the interface language and where short notification messages appear. The screen-on option for mobile devices is under Other.

Switch the interface language​

Choose Language in General preferences. Select System to follow the device language, or choose a language explicitly.

Available languages are English, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Japanese, Korean, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Turkish, Polish, Ukrainian, Czech, Indonesian, Dutch, and Thai.

Position toast notifications​

Choose one of six canvas positions in General preferences: left, centre, or right along the top or bottom edge. Changing the selection displays a sample message so you can check the placement.

iOS also offers Footer, which places messages in the footer of the bottom-docked timeline when it is open and visible. Otherwise, messages appear at the bottom centre of the canvas.

Keep the mobile screen on​

On iOS and Android, enable Preferences ▸ Other ▸ Keep screen on to prevent automatic screen sleep while Resprite is in use. This is useful when following a bead pattern or keeping artwork visible as a reference.

Turn the option off when you want the device's normal automatic sleep behaviour again.
