Bome MIDI Translator: User's Manual 11 Settings

11.1 Startup Options

The Startup section deals with how Bome MIDI Translator initially starts.

Having the program start up automatically with the operating system can be

useful once you have all your Translators created.

Start Minimized:

If checked, MIDI Translator Pro will start in minimized form, i.e. it will

not show the main window. You need to (double-)click the program

icon to show MT's window.

Show Splash Screen:

Enable or disable the showing of the program splash screen when

MIDI Translator is started.

Auto Start:

This option causes MIDI Translator to automatically start when your

computer is booted.

Only allow one instance:

If this option is checked (recommended), starting MIDI Translator Pro

while it is already running (e.g. hidden in the tray/menubar) will

instead activate that already running instance. You can also use this to

pass command line parameters to the running instance, effectively

remote controlling a running instance.

11.2 Appearance

The Appearance section of the settings window deals with how the program

behaves.

Color Scheme:

By default, the Standard Colors are selected. For users with eye

problems or other conditions, you can select High Contrast for Black

on White look of the program. Or High Contrast Inverted for a black

program with white text.

Show tray icon:

If enabled, a small MIDI Translator icon is visible in the tray

(Windows) or menubar (macOS). You can use it to quickly open MT's

window, or to use it instead of the main icon in task bar / dock (see

previous option).

Minimize to tray/menu bar:

If checked, and the tray/menu bar icon is visible (see previous

option), minimizing the program will “hide” it in the tray (Windows) or

menu bar (macOS). The main program icon in the task bar (Windows)

or dock (macOS) is hidden then. Double-click the tray/menubar icon

or use the icon menu to show MIDI Translator Pro again.
