Settings & Customization

Light/dark theme, lock screen inactivity, tab restore, and alert thresholds.


Open with the gear icon, or type “settings” in the command palette.

Theme

Three choices: Match System (default), Dark, Light.

System mode follows your OS setting and switches immediately when the system switches — useful if your machine auto-toggles light/dark by time of day.

Terminal

SettingRangeDefault
Font size10–2013
Scroll buffer500–100,000 lines5,000
Cursor blinkon/offon

The scroll buffer applies per tab. Open ten tabs at once and a 100,000-line buffer gets multiplied accordingly in RAM.

Lock Screen on Inactivity

Minutes without keyboard/mouse before window auto-locks: 0 (off), 5, 15, 30, or 60. Default 15 minutes.

Important reminder from Password Vault:

  • Lock screen does not lock the vault. Encryption key stays in memory, monitoring still runs, open SSH sessions stay alive.
  • It stops someone walking by your desk, not someone who can reboot your machine.
  • For real protection, press Lock vault — that button is right on the lock screen.

The lock screen also keeps keyboard focus, so Tab doesn’t escape and get typed into an open terminal.

Restore Tabs on Startup

ChoiceBehavior
Ask (default)Each app start asks whether to restore old tabs.
Always restoreReopens them automatically, no prompt.
NeverAlways starts with empty tab list.

Restore means actually reopening real SSH connections to those machines. If your customer monitors and logs every session, “always restore” will create a batch of sessions each morning — choose “ask” accordingly.

Alert Thresholds

Four thresholds, in percentage, apply to all VMs:

ThresholdSuggestedMeaning
Disk — warning85%A mount exceeding this creates warning level event.
Disk — critical95%Creates critical level event.
RAM — warning90%Must exceed across several polls to alert.
CPU — warning90%Must exceed across several polls to alert.

Entered values are clamped to valid ranges before saving. Details on how events fire: Alerts & Drift.
