Running Cynthia for the first timeSeveral sample midis built-in.
When starting Cynthia for the first time, these sample midis are
listed in the "[8DAK] Play Folder" panel, and playback is automatic.
At any point during playback, you may select another midi from the
list. Playback seamlessly switches to the selected midi in question.
Cynthia supports realtime changes to settings during playback. This
means you may adjust the Playback Mode, Playback Device, Volume and
Speed without having to stop/restart playback.

[?]How to play a list of midis in a folderFrom the main toolbar click "
[8DAK] Play Folder" link (top left) to display the "Play Folder"
panel.
With [8DAK] Play Folder, there is no need for a playlist or setup.
Just navigate to the folder in question and instantly play the midis
within.
Double click the "[AwDMyySAdd] Home" entry at top of list (scroll up
if not visible). The list will refresh with the names of your hard
drives, pen sticks and other local storage devices. Double click a
drive, then the subsequent folder(s) to the one that you want to
play.
The list will update. Double click a specific midi to begin
playback, or, click the "[AwDx1gwTB9] Play" link.
Toolbar Links
[AwCU3Bghfl] Refresh - Refresh the playback list
[wMAI3ExB9d] Fav - Show the "Favourites" window. Use this handy
window to maintain a list of your favourite folders for quick access.
[8DALs8EBjF] Back - Go to the previous folder in navigation history
[wMATH0QGNl] Forward - Go to the next folder in navigation history
Tips:
There is no need to stop playback before switching to another
folder. Double click the new folder and wait several seconds for
Cynthia to automatically recommence playback.
The current folder will be remembered when Cynthia is restarted.
[?]How to use a playlist to play a selection of midisThe standard
".m3u" playlist format is supported. This is a plain text file that
contains the length of the midi in seconds, a title, and the location
of each midi.
Cynthia supports midi playback from local storage devices, such as
hard disks, pen sticks etc. Internet urls are not supported.
If you already have a playlist in the m3u format saved on your disk,
you can open it in Cynthia for playback. From the main toolbar click
the "[AwCUIRA1i2] Play List" link (top left) to show the Play List
panel. An additional toolbar presents. Click the "[wAAAABJRU5]
Open" link (if shown) or "[wMAyHkSUrR] Edit > [wAAAABJRU5] Open".
From the Open window, navigate to your playlist, select and click the
"Open" button.
The contents of your playlist will load inside the [AwCUIRA1i2] Play
List panel. Click the "[AwDx1gwTB9] Play" link to begin playback.
[?]How to make a playlistThere are several ways a playlist can be
constructed. The first method is the easiest. From your computer
explorer ("File Explorer" in Windows and "Files" in Ubuntu) navigate
to the folder of midis. Highlight one or more midis files inside the
folder and drag the selection onto Cynthia and let go of the mouse
button. The "[AwCUIRA1i2] Play List" panel updates and displays the
dropped midi files appended, to the list. Repeat this process for as
many midi files as required.
At anytime you may save the playlist. From the Play List toolbar,
click the "[wMAsckWHRV] Save As" link (if shown) or "[wMAyHkSUrR]
Edit > [wMAsckWHRV] Save As...". Type a name in the Save window and
click the "Save" button to save the playlist.
It is worth noting that each time Cynthia saves your playlist to
file, the midi files referenced inside it have their names adjusted
automatically to work with the specific save location of the
playlist.
Most midi filenames in a playlist are relative, as they do not have
the full drive, folder and filename, but rather a partial folder
structure and the midi's name. This is to permit the movement of the
midis and the playlist from one location to another without the need
for the playlist to be specifically rewritten.
If you are curious at what the playlist format looks like, click the
"[wMA8zASavA] Copy All" link (if shown) or "[wMAyHkSUrR] Edit >
[wMA8zASavA] Copy All" to copy the entire playlist to Clipboard.
Note Cynthia will use a full filename for each listed midi file,
since the Clipboard cannot be referenced from a disk location. You
may paste it into any text editor to view, modify, or rearrange the
order of the midi files listed.
To paste an altered playlist back into Cynthia, click the "
[8DAA0iGyxw] Replace" link (if shown) or "[wMAyHkSUrR] Edit >
[8DAA0iGyxw] Replace". The Play List panel will update.
Cynthia has support for extended playlists. Note! A large playlist
of 100,000+ midi files will use about 102MB of RAM and require a
second or two to apply midi filename adjustments.
Support for playlist filtering is provided. An example: You may
instruct Cynthia to list only ".mid" files by deselecting ".midi" and
".rmi" options from the "File Types" option panel (right column).
The playlist itself remains unchanged - how Cynthia uses it changes.

[?]Which playback method to use? Play Folder or Play List?If you're a
lover of simplicity itself, wishing only to play midi files directly
from your hard drive folders as is, or, you're a playlist fan, rest
assured, switching between these two very different playback systems,
is as easy as a single click on either the "[8DAK] Play Folder" or "
[AwCUIRA1i2] Play List" links.
Whilst the Play Folder method is limited to playing only the files
contained in the currently selected folder, there is zero setup, no
list to be built, and playback can start without hassle.
The Play List method on the other hand allows for a far more in depth
custom playback experience. It supports the playback of midis across
multiple disk drives, folders and in any assembled order.
Additionally, Cynthia's large capacity list can easily handle a very
large playlist. For example a playlist of 10,000+ midis is just
fine.
And switching between these two playback methods can be done during
playback without issue.
Tip:
The playback options File Types, Playback Mode, Playback Device,
Speed and Volume are shared between both playback systems, and do not
change or require adjustment after a switch.
[?]Option: Playback ModeLocated bottom of left column.
Playback mode (bottom left) determines how Cynthia plays the list of
midis in the [8DAK]Play Folder or [AwCUIRA1i2]Play List panel (left
column).
Once
Play currently selected midi to the end, and stop playback.
Repeat One
Repeat the currently selected midi without stopping playback.
Repeat All
Play each midi in turn, working down the list (left column), then
restart from the top. Playback initially starts at currently
selected midi.
All Once
Each midi in the list is played working downward through the list.
Playback stops at the end of the last midi.
Random
Continuously play a midi, selecting each new one randomly from the
list.
[?]Option: File TypesLocated towards bottom of right column.
There are three midi file types supported: ".mid", ".midi" and
".rmi". The first two are identical file formats, only the file
extension differs. The third format, ".rmi", is slightly different
and contains additional multimedia information for Microsoft Windows.
By default all three file types are selected (lit black). In this
state, all playable midi files are listed in the Play Folder and Play
List panels.
To restrict the file types to be played back, click the file type to
deselect it. The list of midis (left column) updates to reflect the
change.
If all three options are deselected, Cynthia interprets this as if
all three were selected.
[?]Option: Playback DeviceLocated towards bottom of right column.
By default all midi playback is sent to the Windows Midi Mapper
system - the default Windows midi note handler.
If you have more than one midi device installed on your computer,
Cynthia can redirect the midi notes to that device instead.
Traditionally, a midi device had been considered to be hardware. But
now, with the advent of powerful computer hardware, software can now
act as virtual hardware, allowing for advanced features to be
included on your computer without the need for hardware upgrades or
physical adjustment.
A midi software driver can support a soundfont, which can greatly
enhances the playback quality of a midi through it's support for
large, high-quality, instrumental sound libraries.
To change the playback device, select a number in the playback device
control (bottom right). Up to ten devices (1-10) is supported.
"Map" is the Windows Midi Mapper. Selecting a dash will cause
playback to stop producing audible sound (no device selected for
sound output). In this case, the last usable (numbered) midi device
will be automatically selected after a short time delay, recommencing
audible playback without the need for user input.
Cynthia supports realtime device switching during playback. A small,
momentary interruption to playback may occur during a device change.
The name of the device in use by Cynthia is listed in the playback
device control (bottom right), for example as "Playback Device: Midi
Mapper". In later versions of Microsoft Windows the Midi Mapper was
discontinued - in this case, Cynthia uses the first installed midi
device.
It is worth noting that using another device may require a separate
adjustment to that device's volume control, some devices do, and some
do not. If it does have a volume control, it is more than likely to
be accessible via Windows "Volume Mixer" application. Click the "
[AwDbHhfNmh] Mixer" link from the top toolbar to display the
application and adjust the volume control of your device accordingly.
[?]Option: SpeedLocated towards bottom of right column.
By default, Cynthia plays back a midi at normal speed (100%). Drag
the slider to the right to increase the playback speed up to a
maximum speed of 1,000% or 10x normal speed.
To slow down playback speed, drag the slider to the left. A value
less than 100% slows playback to less than normal speed. The slider
can go as low as 10% or 1/10th normal playback speed.
Playback speed may be adjusted at any point during playback. All
changes take place in realtime. An auto-fade in feature momentarily
quietens playback to avoid any sudden or unexpected notes.
[?]Option: VolumeLocated at bottom of right column.
For maximum compatibility between different operating systems and
device types (hardware and software) and their capabilities, Cynthia
employs a multi-layer volume control system which adjusts both
hardware and midi note volumes.
To adjust playback volume, position the slider to the right to
increase the volume and to the left to decrease it.
An increase above 100% boosts the midi volume, making low-level, hard
to hear midis, more discernable.
[?]Option: Playback ProgressAdjust playback position with a single
click or tap. Additionally, hovering a mouse cursor over the
Playback Progress bar displays a vertical marker for the new playback
time and position. Click to apply new position. The midi playback
will shift to a new position and automatic fade in eases back
playback volume to avoid sudden clicks, pops or abrupt notes.
Use keyboard arrow keys to progressively move forward or backward
through the midi. A vertical marker will display.
Not currently playing? Click in the Playback Progress bar to
commence playback at that position.
[?]LyricsSynchronised lyric display is supported for midis with lyrics.
To enable lyrics, from the main toolbar click the "[wMA49MMCDW] Menu"
link and tick "Show Lyrics".
When included within a midi, lyrics are displayed inside the Playback
Progress bar (bottom of Cynthia) as "Playback Progress - Lyrics:"
with several words or part words visible at any one time.
A midi without lyrics will display "Playback Progress".
If hyphenated lyrics are required in order to highlight the pauses
between part-words, from main toolbar click the "[wMA49MMCDW] Menu"
link and tick "Hyphenate Lyrics".
[?]Always on MidiSometimes there can be a short, noticeable playback
delay when commencing playback, initially. This delay is preparation
time for Cynthia to ready playback.
There is no delay switching between midis during playback as Cynthia
remains connected to the midi device. By default, after a short
period of no playback (5 seconds or more), the midi device will
switch to offline, and a short delay will occur when playback is next
started.
To avoid this delay, the "Always on Midi" option may be used to keep
a midi device online, even when Cynthia is not playing. From the
main toolbar click the "[wMA49MMCDW] Menu" option and tick the
"Always on Midi" option.
Tip:
You can always tell if the midi device is online or not - from the
"Midi Information" panel on the right. Look for the item called
"Device" in the "Technical list". This will either be "Online" or
"Offline".
[?]What midi formats are supported?Midis comes in various format
types. The simplest is format 0, a single track format, that stores
all it's tempo (speed), notes and commands on a single, mixed track.
A format 1 midi, on the other hand, uses a dedicated master track
(first track) to store all of it's tempo (speed) commands for the
entire midi. Notes and commands are stored separately on additional,
multiple tracks.
Cynthia supports both format 0 and format 1 midis with file extension
".mid", ".midi" and ".rmi".
A third, format 2 midi exists. This format type is not supported by
Cynthia. In addition, Cynthia does not support system exclusive
messages. These messages will be ignored, and typically relate to
manufacturer specific equipment.
[?]Using an Xbox Controller to control CynthiaCynthia must be setup to
use an Xbox Controller. From the top toolbar select "Menu > Xbox
Controller" and select the "Active Only" or "Active and Inactive"
option. Pair an Xbox Controller to your computer (if not already
done). Cynthia automatically detects and uses active Xbox
Controllers. More than one controller can be used at the same time.

[?]Change the coloring of the app's GUIFrom top toolbar click "
[wMA3CcYH53] Options" or app menu "... > Options" (top right of
window). An "Options" window will display. Select "[wMA57glpjJ]
Color" tab to show list of color schemes.
The "Color Schemes" list is split into three sections:
1. Built-In color schemes - read only/use as is
2. Custom color schemes - user customisable and labelled Custom 1-10
3. Saved color schemes - user customisable and saved as file(s) on
disk
There are 160+ built-in color schemes to choose from. Simply select
a color scheme to apply in realtime. For instance, Aqua Marine.
Watch as the app's GUI changes color instantly - no need for an
additional load, apply, or set.
A Blaiz Enterprises' color scheme (*.bcs) at its core is a list of
twenty colors, responsible for coloring most aspects of the app's
GUI. Some specialised colors are derived automatically from these.
Two colors for the frame, nine for important areas, Title colors, and
nine more for common zones, Standard colors.
Each built-in color scheme has it's own unique set of colors. A
custom color scheme allows for colors to be customised. To create a
custom color scheme, scroll down the list to the section titled
"Custom". He you'll find ten custom color scheme slots - each fully
customisable in realtime without any need to be named, saved or
applied. Tap or click on a slot to start - for example slot 1 -
"Custom 1".
On the right a series of editable color palettes will appear. Click
a palette to display the color dialog window. Adjust color as
desired and click OK when done. Alternatively, click and drag your
mouse cursor/fingertip from the color palette to acquire color from
your computer screen in realtime. App GUI continuously updates to
reflect changes in color. All changes are automatically saved.
[?]Give your new color scheme a nameWant your shiny new color scheme to
have its own name? Easy. From the color schemes list - click
"Options > Color" to display dialog - scroll down to the "Custom"
section, select your custom color scheme, and click "[wMA49MMCDW]
Menu > [wMAsckWHRV] Save As...". Type a name and click the "Save"
button. Your color scheme is saved to disk and listed under the
"Saved" section of the color schemes list - next section down.
Any color scheme can be saved to disk, and then edited. For
instance, you can select one of the built-in color schemes, such as
Aqua Marine, and save it to disk, then customise as desired.
[?]How to use your named color schemeClick "Options > Color" to show
the color schemes list. Scroll down to the last section named
"Saved". This section presents a list of all your saved color
schemes in one central location. Select a scheme to use.
[?]Can I edit my saved color scheme without having to re-save it/load
it etc?Yes. Any saved color scheme can be customised without fuss.
Click "Options > Color" and scroll down to the section named "Saved",
click the color scheme you wish to edit, and adjust the color(s) as
desired. All changes are saved automatically back to the file on
disk, without any need to explicitly save.
[?]What is a background schemeA background scheme is a static or
animated image tiled across the background layer of the app. The
app's GUI components sit above this layer/merge into it, such as
toolbars, tool images, buttons, text etc. There are 60 built-in
background schemes, based on several images with different presets,
like horizontal and vertical scroll speeds, fade in and out rates,
and wobble levels. These functions allow for a static image to give
movement to the app. While some background schemes are specially set
for animation, others are not.
The background image can be rendered in full color, or shade-shifted
toward greyscale, or shade-shifted toward the app's current highlight
color. One slider, Colorise, controls this tri-function.
A background scheme supports a maximum image color depth of 32 bits
in RGBA format - 8 bit red, green, blue, and alpha channels - for
instance a transparent PNG image.
Note:
An animated background scheme can operate at frame rates of up to 20
fps (frames per second), which means the entire GUI of the app is
repainted in full, 20 times per second, like a video, and therefore
can consume quite a bit of CPU power, especially at high
resolutions. It is recommended a modern, powerful machine be used
for high frame rates/resolutions in order to maintain smooth
operation of the GUI.
Sliders and their meanings:
Strength (0..255):
Determines how much of the background image is seen/made visible. A
low value renders the background subtly beneath the GUI, whereas a
high value, 100-255, renders it boldly. A value above 100 is
disabled by default. To enable, click "Options > Settings" and
deselect "Display > Safe Background". A value over 100 may overpower
the GUI making it hard to navigate or operate. If this becomes the
case, press the "F2" key, and then the Enter key to confirm
restoration of the app's default settings.
Colorise (-100..100):
Set the color rendering method. A value of 100 renders the
background image in full color, a value of 0 in greyscale, and a
value of -100 in the app's current highlight color.
Speed (0..20):
Paint speed in frames per second. 0 is static - the background
scheme only repaints when required. This is the least stressful
option. A value of 1-20 sets a constant repaint cycle of 1-20 fps
(frames per second).
Horizontal Scroll/Vertical Scroll (-100..100):
Moves background image left/up (minus value) or right/down (plus
value) by X pixels. A value of zero turns movement off.
Horizontal Wobble/Vertical Wobble (0..300):
Applies a wobble factor to the above Horizontal Scroll/Vertical
Scroll movement(s).
Fade In/Out (0..50):
Cycles through a high-to-low-to-high intensity flow, gradually fading
the background image from view, then back again, in a continuous
cycle. Use a low value for a slow cycle, and a high value for a fast
cycle.
Fade Wobble (0..200):
Applies a wobble factor to the Fade In/Out flow cycle above.
[?]Can I customise a background scheme/background imageYes you can.
There are 10 custom background scheme slots. Click "Options >
Background" and scroll down to the section named "Custom". For
instance, click on "Custom 1". A sub-toolbar will display in the
right column at the top. From there, you can paste in an image from
Clipboard - click "Paste", or open an image from file - click "File".
For best visual results, your image should be a similar size to the
app's overall area, and be prepped for tiling work - that is, have
it's right and bottom edges modified so that its colors/pixels
seamlessly wrap back round to its opposing edge (right-to-left and
top-to-bottom). You can use a tile creation app, or a good quality
graphics app to accomplish this, or use our "Blend It" app to prep
your image.
Without this, tiling the image may present abrupt edges of unwanted
opposing lines of horizontal/vertical colors, and be visually jarring
in nature.
Adjust the sliders as required to accomplish animation and visual
effects. All changes to the image and sliders are saved in realtime.
[?]How do I change the frame style, size and sparkle strength/effect?
The frame on our apps have a long history reaching back to the late
1990s, where they first adorned our FastCards and PowerCards (still/
animated electronic musical greeting cards).
In the context of an app, they primarily serve as a large, easy-grip
area for resizing the app's overall size, and a touch of decoration
to boot.
A frame can be made wide or narrow as required. The modern app has a
typical frame width of 7 px in a plain style, so as not to distract
or occupy excessive screen real estate.
Furthermore, a frame may render with an optional, randomised sparkle
effect, with a range of 0 (no sparkle) to 20 (heavy sparkle).
Click "Options > Frame" to edit the app's current frame settings. A
list of 50 built-in frames is available to choose from, ranging from
Antique to Traditional 5.
Toward the bottom of the window are two sliders to adjust the frame's
Sparkle (strength) and Size (width in pixels). A frame can be sized
from 0 px (no frame) up to a wide frame of 72 px. All changes update
in realtime.
[?]Automatic zoom and scaling of app text and images on high resolution
displaysClick "Options > Font" to display zoom and font specific
settings. By default, the app is set to automatic zoom, which means
it will scale up its text and images if the monitor it's displayed on
is above 2K in resolution.
Why scale text and images at all? What is special about 4K and 8K
monitors? At first glance it may not be obvious the significant
difference between standard 2K resolution, and the much higher 4K and
8K resolutions.
But high resolution monitors, such as 4K and 8K displays have far
more pixels (colored dots) per inch on screen than previous
generations of monitors, that is, the screen size may be the same but
more dots are packed into the same area. Consequently, an app
without scaling abilities may appear small or even blurred on these
monitors. That's because as new monitors and TVs gain ever greater
resolutions, statically sized apps shrink in size/fail to
compensate. This is why a modern app must be able to scale up to
match the appropriate resolution.
Here is a comparison of common display resolutions:
2K = 1920w x 1080h = 2,073,600 pixels
4K = 3840w x 2160h = 8,294,400 pixels
8K = 7680w x 4320h = 33,177,600 pixels
A 4K (ultra high definition) monitor uses four times (4x) more pixels
than it's 2K (full high definition) counterpart. A statically built
app without scaling would shrink to 50% of it's size, making it
difficult to use. An operating system may attempt to counter this by
scaling it up using pixel stretching - very much like zooming up a
photo - unfortunately this tends to blur the appearance of the app.
The same app on an 8K monitor would suffer even greater shrinkage,
rendering at only a quarter (25%) of it's original size, or scaling
with significant blurring.
This app has a built-in zoom mode, which multiples the width and
height of its text and images by a factor of 2, 3, or 4, dependant on
the resolution of the display. This does away for the need of the
operating system to stretch/scale its pixels.
On a 2K monitor there is no need to scale as this is the app's
intended resolution. On a 4K monitor the app switches to a zoom
factor of 200% (2x), upscaling text and images and the main window's
dimension accordingly, and 400% (4x) on an 8K monitor. The end
result is an app that appears appropriately sized over different
monitor resolutions.
You can override this automatic zoom function, and set your own zoom
value of: 100%, 200%, 300%, or 400%, if desired. An option that may
be useful on a custom display resolution, and/or multiple monitor
display environment.
Note:
Setting the zoom value to 300% or above on a 2K monitor may render
the app so large as to make it unusable. If this occurs, you can
press the "F2" key at anytime to restore the app's default settings.
[?]Change app text sizeThe text size (font size) can be set between 6
and 24. Click "Options > Font" and choose a size option. Any change
updates the app text in realtime.
In some instances, the app may display slightly larger or smaller
text in special areas, however this text is directly scaled from the
size set.
By default the app uses a size of 10.
Note:
Not all sizes are supported by all fonts. On Ubuntu for instance, a
large font size for Arial can cause text to appear weird or slightly
off. If this occurs, try reducing the font size a tad, or
alternatively select another font (font name).
[?]Change app fontA font determines what sort of characters appear on
the screen, and in what style. Click "Options > Font" and choose a
font name (font) from the list of options, from Arial to DejaVu
Serif. Any change updates the app in realtime.
Older fonts like "System" were simple formats constructed from small
images or bitmaps, one per character, and did not scale up very well,
partly because to save on memory, not all character sizes were stored
inside the font. Today, modern fonts use mathematical vectoring to
draw shapes and lines etc to construct characters on the screen,
though the infrastructure and overhead required for such fonts can be
complex and heavy on a computer system. But because these fonts
employ mathematics to draw their characters, they do scale up well.
Eleven common font name options are presented for best compatibility
and visual appearance, taking into consideration operating systems as
old as Window 95, through to modern-day Windows 11, and other systems
such as Mac and Linux.
In general, you want a font that is widely supported and guaranteed
to render well on most computers. Bearing that in mind, Arial, is a
good choice, as it is widely supported by operating systems going as
far back as Windows 95, if not further.
If a font name is selected but is not supported by the current
computer, for example "DejaVu Sans" - not supported by Windows 95 - a
close approximate/fallback font is used instead.
For a specific/custom font, click the "Custom" option once to switch
it on, and click it again to display a Font dialog. Choose the font
name from the list of fonts and click the "OK" button when done.
If the app becomes unreadable, or hard to read after choosing a new
font name - it can happen with a bad font, a foreign language font,
or a symbols only font like "Wingdings" - press the "F2" key to
restore the app's default settings.
[?]Change app font feathering/antialiasingFor maximum font
compatibility, two completely separate methods have been employed to
render text with antialiasing.
Click "Options > Font" for font settings.
1. The first method, Font Feathering, is a simple feather designed
specifically to outline each text character in realtime. This has
the effect of gently softening the often harsh outline of text
characters on LCD screens, which by their nature do not blur
neighbouring pixels, as the older CRT (Cathode Ray Tubes) did.
The feather is universally applied to both bitmap fonts (older image
based fonts) and vectors fonts (newer mathematical fonts). In this
way it allows for a quick and direct text feathering technique, that
is easily adjusted to suit, without any need for any complicated or
tricky multi-step setup configurations and/or processes.
As a bonus, it works on older operating systems - e.g. Windows 95 -
which back in the day had no need/support for it, as LCD monitors
were not widely used. It also works on fonts that don't have any
embedded feather information, or for smaller font sizes that at times
can abruptly discontinue feather support.
This method generates an even, edge-based blurring of the outermost
pixels of the text characters. A high value - high or ultra -
renders a strong/bold feather, and a low value reduces this to a more
subtle display.
Any change updates in realtime.
On a high quality computer monitor were all pixels are transmitted
and displayed without any color loss, a "Low" value is typically
sufficient to render text gently on the screen. But TVs, which tend
to heavily compress their video streams for speed loose some color
information and therefore may require a higher setting of "Medium" or
"High" for similar results.
2. The second method, Font Specific Antialiasing, relies on the font
itself to provide all feather based information. This is usually an
8 bit greyscale range of 0-255. The downside is, if the font has no
feather support, or the operating system is old, e.g. Windows 95,
then no antialiasing will appear. This method can sometimes be hit
and miss.
For instance, take the font Arial, it is universally supported, but
surprisingly looses feather support at 12 pt or less, leaving only
sharp text characters to be rendered on screen.
To adjust the antialiasing strength, select an option from "Dark"
(strong) to "Light" (subtle).
By default, options 1 and 2 above are set to "Low/Dark", which
provides the best fit for a wide variety of fonts and their behavior
over a broad spectrum of old and new operating systems.
[?]App startup styleThe app can be set to start up in various ways:
normally, minimised, maximised or in fullscreen mode. To adjust,
click "Options > Settings" and set an option under "Start Style".
Normal:
Starts the app as a window, which is the default mode.
Minimised:
Starts the app hidden from view as a button on your taskbar.
Maximised:
Starts the app as a window, maximised to fill all the available work
area on your desktop.
Fullscreen:
Starts the app in fullscreen mode, blocking out everything else on
your desktop.
Note:
If the app has the "Multi-Monitor" option selected (next section down
named "Display"), then modes "Maximised" and "Fullscreen" will render
the app over the combined screen real estate of all monitors.
[?]Create a link to the app on your Start button and Desktop, and the
Automatic Startup optionThe app can create, maintain and remove links
for you.
There are three link types supported:
1. Start button
2. Desktop
3. Automatic Startup
Click "Options > Settings" to adjust.
1. The first link type, Start button, creates and automatically
maintains a link - also known as a shortcut - on your Start Menu
called "Cynthia by BlaizEnterprises.com". As this link is created by
and maintained by the app, you must unselect the option to remove the
link from your Start Menu.
2. The Desktop link operates identically to the above, maintaining a
link on your Desktop named "Cynthia by BlaizEnterprises.com". It
also must be unselected to remove the link permanently from your
Desktop.
Note:
As long as either options 1 or 2 above is selected, then the
corresponding links are maintained and automatically re-created if
need be by the app, even if they're manually deleted from outside the
app.
By default, neither option is selected. Optionally, you can create
your own manual link/shortcut to the app using Windows with any name/
label you wish.
3. The last option, Automatic Startup, creates a link to the app in
the startup location of your computer, informing Windows to launch
the app when your computer boots/starts up. Again, this link is
automatically maintained, therefore unselect the option to remove it.
Note:
If any of the links above are selected and you plan to remove/delete
the app from your computer, it is highly recommended you first
unselect all the options above (1-3), then remove/delete the app.
Otherwise, Windows can get a little weird and put the links back in
some cases without any interaction from the app itself, even if the
app is no longer present. This behaviour was observed with earlier
versions of Windows 10.
[?]A few important app settings explainedThe majority of the app's
important system settings can be found in one location - click
"Options > Settings".
An option is considered "on/enabled/selected" when lit, and "off/
disabled/unselected" when unlit.
Round Corners:
Render all visual controls, windows, and dialogs with round (curved)
corners.
Soft Close:
Automatically close an active dialog window when a click/tap strikes
outside the window area - e.g. Save, Open, Font, Options dialogs.
This can speed up typical workflows by skipping the need to
specifically click the OK or Cancel buttons to close the dialog. For
instance, click "Options" to display the options dialog, change a few
settings and click/tap outside the window to close it and save
changes. Also convenient to cancel a dialog displayed by mistake/
change of mind, such as a Save dialog.
Safe Area:
Retains app window on screen at all times, and any sub windows or
dialogs within the app. Any attempt to drag the app out-of-range
triggers an automatic position correction - a passive system that
continuously checks the window position and monitor size. Supports
both single and multi-monitor modes.
Show Splash:
Displays an informative/artistic splash screen on app startup.
Unselect to disable.
Realtime Help:
Scrolls control-centric help across the top of the current window,
dialog, or menu. Hover mouse cursor over / tap finger on a control
for related help.
Hints:
Hover mouse over / tap finger on a control to display help related
information in a popup bubble
Touch:
Comfortably enlarge controls and menus for touch access (finger taps)
Double Clicks:
Some options work best with a double click / tap for confirmation.
This option supports the traditional double click mode. For example,
navigating a disk drive using a double click / tap to switch between
folders.
On Top:
Set the app above all other apps and windows
Economy:
Normal app operation can use a lot of paint cycles and CPU power,
especially if it's rendering graphics and effects continuously on the
screen. Economy mode throttles back this usage during periods of
extended idleness, e.g. when there is no direct app keyboard input,
or indirect mouse cursor movement or finger taps. For more specific
information refer to the topic "Economy mode".
32bit Graphics:
Not noticeable on today's powerful computers with their 32 bit
monitors and video cards, it however can deliver a small performance
improvement on older computers running 24 bit graphics
Frame Maximised:
Show the app's frame whilst maximised. The frame is always hidden
whilst in fullscreen mode.
Safe Background:
An optional static or animated background scheme can be set, which
renders an image beneath the GUI. If this image is too bold / strong
the GUI can be hard to view / use. By default this option limits the
background strength to a safe maximum level of 100. Unselect this
option to permit the full range of background strength (0-255). If
the GUI becomes hard to use or unreadable, press the "F2" key at
anytime to restore the app's default settings.
Multi-Monitor:
Permit the app to span the full range of attached monitors when
maximised or in fullscreen mode. By default the app spans the
current monitor only.
Center Title:
Position the name of the app in the center of the app's window header
Toolbar Alignment:
Align the content of all participating toolbars to the left, center,
or to the right
Color Contrast:
Color coordinate important system settings and options into color
specific input panels for rapid visual identification
Monochromatic Images:
Use high-contrast, color-adaptive, monochromatic tool images on the
app's GUI
Highlight Above:
Retain highlight areas and other important GUI zones whilst a
background scheme is in use
Brightness:
Adjust the brightness of the entire app, from 60 being the darkest
right up to 130 being the brightest. Any change takes affect
immediately. The default brightness is 100.
Unfocused Opacity:
Renders the app translucent upon loosing focus - e.g. when another
app is in use. Available range is 30 almost invisible, through to
255 fully visible. Default value is 255. This feature requires
support of a modern operating system and is therefore not supported
by Windows 95/98 etc.
Speed:
The speed by which to transition the app from a focused state to a
non-focused state or vice-versa. Speed range is 1-10, where 1 is the
slowest and 10 the fastest.
Focused Opacity:
Renders the app translucent upon gaining focus - e.g. when the user
interacts with it. Available range is 50 almost invisible, through
to 255 fully visible. Default value is 255. As above, this feature
requires support of a modern operating system and is therefore not
supported by Windows 95/98 etc.
Cursor:
Change the default cursor to one of the built-in cursors, each of
which scale from small to large, according to the current size set by
the operating system. A range of static colors are available: Red,
Orange, Pink, Yellow, Purple, Aqua, Blue, Green, Grey, Black, White,
along with Default and Custom.
In addition, two dynamically colored cursors are included: "Adaptive
- Hover" and "Adaptive - Title". These special cursors acquire their
color from the current color scheme. Any change to the color scheme
is reflected in the color of the cursor.
The custom cursor option supports both static cursors ".cur" and
animated cursor ".ani" file formats. To use, select the "Custom"
option. The cursor will update if previously customised. To change
the cursor, click the option again and select a cursor from file
using the Open dialog.
Frame Sparkle:
Applies a random texture to the app's frame. Select a value from 0
(off) to 20 (bold).
Frame Size:
Adjust the app's frame size (width in pixels) from 0 (none) to 72
(wide). The default frame size is typically 7.
Scrollbar Size:
Set the width and/or height of the app's scrollbars. A value of 5
(thin/short) to 72 (wide/tall) is supported.
Wine Compatibility:
Wine is basically a large computer instruction conversion app, which
allows an app designed for Microsoft Windows to execute its
instructions "run" on another operating system, such as a Mac or
Linux. Because Wine does not emulate / bridge any logic gaps and
only translates an app's instructions, the underlying computer
hardware must match that used by Microsoft Windows - namely Intel and
AMD64.
A notable exception to this requirement is the modern-day Mac, e.g.
Mac Mini, which runs an Intel emulator under the hood. This allows a
Microsoft Windows app to run by the following sequence: App to Wine
to Intel emulator to Apple hardware. Incredibly, this appears to be
a very effective and rather efficient strategy, especially for our
lightweight apps.
Although Wine's functionality is both wide and impressive, there is
some functionality that falls short of Windows. The Wine
Compatibility option compensates where possible for important
shortcomings, such as volume handling, and allows the app to maintain
functionality.
The default option is automatic and detects the presence of Wine
based on the existence of drive "Z:\". For more information on Wine
refer to their website www.winehq.org .
Restore Defaults:
Easily reset the app's system settings, such as color, font size,
zoom level etc to their defaults. Click the "Restore Defaults..."
button at the bottom-right of the Options window or press the "F2"
key at any time in the app to display the "Restore Defaults"
confirmation prompt. Confirm your intention to reset and then click
the "Restore Defaults" button. The app will reset to default values.
An app typically has settings in addition to these which are not
restored / reset. Instead, they should be adjusted via the app
itself as required.
[?]On Top - Position app above other apps and windowsClick the app menu
button [AwCX3ggZmj] (top right) and tick "On Top" option.
Alternatively, click "Options > Settings" and select "Display > On
Top" option.
[?]Don't show the splash screen on app startBy default the splash
screen is displayed with a momentarily pause on startup. This can be
switched off by going to "Options > Settings" and deselecting the
"Display > Show Splash" option.
[?]Where is my app? / Show the app folderBecause this app is portable,
you might not remember / know where it is located on your hard disk
or usb pen stick. To access its folder, click the app menu button
[AwCX3ggZmj] (top right) and select "[8DAK] Show App Folder". An
explorer window will display with the app's binary (*.exe) and
storage folder listed alongside.
[?]Economy modeRunning an app at full speed when it's not being used
can be a bit wasteful, and may prematurely drain the batteries on
your laptop or tablet. Select this option to automatically throttle
back battery / power consumption and CPU / graphic loads after a
short idle period of 10 minutes. At which point the app will reduce
its paint cycles down to 2 fps at a maximum. And a further reduction
at 30 minutes to 1 fps.
Internal processing loads will typically be reduced also, lowering
the demand on your CPU and batteries further.
A single stroke of the keyboard directed at the app, or a global
mouse click, or tap of the finger will instantly disengage the
current economy state and return the app back to full operation.
To enable, click "Options > Settings" and select "Display > Economy"
option.
[?]Some technical limitations of this appThe Gossamer Code Foundation -
our 4th generation codebase - which powers this app has been
engineered with care and patience to a high level of quality and
reliability.
As our code is rather unique and almost entirely custom built, there
are some technical limitations which make our apps incompatible with
some extended features of modern operating systems.
These limitations mainly concern the use of UTF-8 and UTF-16 encoding
of text, and more specifically filenames. At this stage the app
works with the legacy Windows-1252 character encoding for both text
processing and filenames. The app is therefore unable to handle
foreign language text, or load and save files with special, foreign,
or emoji characters in their filenames. All text and filenames are
restricted to english ASCII characters in the Windows-1252 encoding
standard.
In addition, some options and minor operations may not work as
expected, or at all on operating systems other than Microsoft
Windows. Though an enormous amount of time and effort has gone into
harmonising the look and feel, behaviour and reliability of the app
across multiple flavours of Microsoft Windows, Linux, and Mac
operating systems, it is not always possible to catch every failure
point, or in some rare cases make it work properly, though we always
endeavor to do our best.
A side note, our codebase is still running well as 32 bit code in
2025. Yes, 32 bit! Some might see this as a limitation, but we see
it as a flexible, inexpensive, and widely adopted execution pathway
with support for many platforms and reuse / life extension of older
equipment.
[?]What makes a portable app special?A portable app is a big leap
forward for apps in general. A standard or traditionally engineered
app requires a lot of support in the form of libraries, data files,
images, scripts, etc and the list goes on. You get the picture.
Some portable apps out there still include this bundle of bits, they
merely offload it into a local folder. A dump of goodies of sorts.
We tend to see a portable app in quite a different light. Our vision
of a portable app is designed tight, clean, free of bloat, and all
data where possible is included directly within, structured right
into the fabric of the app itself, and designed from the bare-metal
up if required.
Though the most important difference between a traditional app and a
portable app is that a portable app will not install on your
computer. This is extremely important as the installation process is
often messy, and can clutter up your computer by dumping a lot of
stuff all over the Windows file structure and registry, and over time
may slow down and decrease the overall performance of your computer.
A portable app will not do this, which keeps your computer clean and
running smooth and fast as it should. Unfortunately most software is
not designed with portable in mind. They're more akin to a large
leaky box of bits than tight engineering. And because a portable app
is not installed on your computer, it runs outside the normal scope
of the operating system, and is not locked down or tied to it. And
thus can be moved about, from disk to disk, or computer to computer.
Typically a portable app will reside on a USB pen stick, removable
media, or in a special folder on a portable hard disk. This makes it
easy to take from one computer to the next, and use over and over.
An immensely valuable freedom, and something an installed app can
only dream of.
But a serious technical hurdle must be overcome for a truly portable
app to be free. And that is the humble setting. Yes, a portable app
must be able to handle it's settings on it's own. It must be able to
read them from disk, filter them, check and correct them where
required, and write them back to disk. All without the help of the
Windows' registry or other operating system dependent structures.
An installed app typically can't or won't do this. Instead, it
relies on Windows and the registry to manage it's settings and other
important data sets for it. It therefore takes a higher degree of
technical competence to escape this "tied to the operating system"
situation.
Here is our current standard for a portable app:
* Require no installation or setup
* Require no additional DLL libraries to run and perform it's core
function
* Make no alteration to the host operating system, or its settings,
files, libraries or core functions, or the Windows registry,
unless it forms a part or a whole of the app's core function, and
then, only when initiated by the user
* Be able to run "out of the box"
* Require no compiling, conversion, installation or setup of
support structures in order to execute, except for when such an
environment constitutes an execution enabling environment, such
as a command translation service like Wine
* Be free of zipped or otherwise externally bundled blob structures
containing folders, files and bits
* Operate on less powerful hardware to facilitate operation on a
broad spectrum of computers
* Less demanding API landscape to facilitate execution on a broad
range of operating systems and software translation environments
* Require no special software libraries be present in order to run,
such as .NET or JAVA, unless typically pre-installed on the
target operating system or execution environment
* Not require an internet connection to run, unless the connection
is required to fulfill the app's core function, such as a web
server
* Require no downloads, addons, or registration in order to run
* Provide help and documentation offline via a built-in viewer, or
by limited external means, such as Notepad
* Be self-contained with all necessary files, data sets, and
samples stored within it's internal structure, such that access
be provided preferably through direct enabling mechanisms
* Store, hold and manage external app settings and user data in a
local sub-folder, and that sub-folder be easily identifiable as
belonging to the app
* Provide a mostly consistent appearance and experience to the user
across the widest possible range of operating systems and
execution environments
* Value backwards compatibility, and be able to actively make use
of that older hardware and software
* Possess a compact, bloat-free footprint
[?]How to remove the app and what you should do firstMake sure any app
related data that is precious to you is backed up before you delete.
As a portable app does not install itself on your computer there will
be no automatic uninstall option listed in Windows. The app must be
removed manually. But this is not difficult.
First, ensure the options below are unselected before proceeding.
Click "Options > Settings" and deselect:
1. Start button link
2. Desktop link
3. Automatic Startup link
If these links are not removed they may linger due to the oddities of
some versions of Windows and it's often complex nature and protocols.
If this app is administered by a 3rd party system then that system
should be used now to remove this app. If not, then click the app
menu button "[AwCX3ggZmj]" (top right) and select "[8DAK] Show App
Folder". An explorer window will display with the app's executable
(*.exe) and storage folder listed.
Make sure any data precious to you has been backed up or moved out of
the app's storage folder before proceeding. When you're ready, close
the app and right click on it's EXE ".exe" and select the
Delete option. If a prompt appears, confirm your intention to
delete. Repeat for the storage folder.
The app is now removed from your computer, USB pen stick, or hard
disk.
[?]Help my app doesn't look right what should I do?If for some reason
your app doesn't appear right, or you think you've turned on or off
some important system setting but you're not sure which one or where,
not too worry, you can restore the app's default settings in two easy
steps.
Step 1:
From anywhere in the app press the "F2" key to display the "Restore
Defaults" confirmation window.
Step 2:
When you're sure you're ready to proceed, click the "Restore
Defaults" button. The app will reset, restoring all key system
settings to their safe defaults, this includes color, font size, zoom
level etc.
If you don't have a keyboard, or the "F2" key is not available /
difficult to access, you can click the "Options" link from the top
toolbar to display the options window, then click the "Restore
Defaults..." button (bottom right of window), and lastly confirm by
pressing the "Restore Defaults" button. The app will reset / restore
defaults.
