Themes
At the time of this writing, Koel comes with 17 themes built-in. You can activate a theme simply by clicking on it. The new theme will be applied immediately.
More themes are to be added in the future, along with the ability to create your own theme.
Preferences
Koel allows you to set a couple of preferences:
- Whether to show a notification whenever a new song starts playing
- Whether to confirm before closing Koel’s browser tab
- Whether to show a translucent, blurred overlay of the current album’s art
- Whether to transcode music on the fly (mobile only, useful if you have a slow network connection)
- Whether to set your uploaded music as public by default
These preferences are saved immediately upon change and synced across all of your devices.
Service Integration Statuses
If your Koel installation is integrated with any external services, such as Last.fm or Spotify, you can see their statuses here along with the ability to connect or disconnect them when applicable.
