General options

This page controls the general operation of Awasu.

• Run from the system tray
  Runs Awasu as a system tray application.

  Awasu will hide itself in the taskbar when minimized and will send itself to the system tray instead of exiting. To really exit the program, right-click on the system tray and choose Exit from the menu there.
• Play sound on error
  Causes Awasu to play a sound if an error occurs.

  Click on the browse button to change the sound that is played.
• Mouse
  Click this button to set mouse-related options.
• Disable all animation
  Disables all animation.
• Disable all sound
  Disables all sound.
• Blackout times
  Click this button to set times during which Awasu should not automatically update any channels.

  You will typically do this if you want to leave Awasu running overnight on your PC at work, for example, but know that you won't be there (hopefully).
