Basic Settings
Version Notice
This document corresponds to the v3 "Settings → General → Basic" page. Settings may change with versions; please refer to the actual interface.
Basic settings manage the core behavior of the software, including startup behavior, window behavior, language and crash recovery.
Behavior
Launch on Startup
Description: Set whether the software auto-starts with the system
Scenarios:
- Big-screen display scenarios that need auto-start
- Users who want the software always running in the background
How to use: Toggle the switch on or off
Notes:
- Implemented with system-level mechanisms across platforms (Windows/Linux/macOS)
- If antivirus software flags it, allow the operation or temporarily disable the antivirus before enabling auto-start
Show Main Window on Launch
Description: Set whether the main window shows automatically when the software starts
Scenarios:
- On: shows the main interface immediately after launch for quick operation
- Off: runs in the background after launch
How to use: Toggle the switch on or off
Auto-save Window Size
Description: Whether to automatically save window size and position
Scenarios:
- On: on next launch, the main window and settings window restore to the size/position of last close (remembered independently)
- Off: every launch uses the default window size and position
How to use: Toggle the switch on or off
Main Window Topmost Mode
Description: Choose whether the main window stays above other windows
Options:
- No Topmost: not always on top
- Topmost: normal always-on-top
- UIAccess Topmost (Windows only): requests administrator rights on restart to obtain a system UIAccess token, which can pierce most fullscreen windows
How to use: Select in the dropdown
Notes:
- If UIAccess mode is cancelled or fails, this launch falls back to normal topmost
- Non-Windows platforms only offer "Topmost / Not topmost"
Background Resident
Description: Whether to keep running in the background after all windows are closed
Scenarios:
- On: after closing the main window, the software keeps running in the background and can be reopened via the tray icon or other means
- Off: closing the main window exits the software completely
How to use: Toggle the switch on or off
URL Protocol Registration & IPC Service
Description: Register the custom URL protocol (secrandom://) and enable IPC communication, supporting link launch and external linkage
Scenarios:
- Launching the software from a browser or other app via a link
- Data exchange with other applications
- Receiving external commands to control the software
How to use: Toggle the switch on or off
Examples:
secrandom://roll_call/start # start roll call
secrandom://lottery/draw # start lotteryNotes:
- Registration failure shows an error message
- Detailed protocol & IPC docs: see IPC & URL Protocol
Display Language
Description: Switch the software interface language
Options: 简体中文, English, 日本語

Disable Crashed Plugins Automatically

Crash Recovery
Crash Recovery
Description: Choose how the program recovers after a crash
Options:
- Off: crash recovery disabled
- Auto-restart only: automatically restart after a crash
- Show recovery page: show a recovery page (with error info) after a crash
- Show recovery page and auto-restart: show the recovery page and auto-restart
Scenarios:
- Critical scenarios where a crash should recover quickly to avoid disrupting ongoing activities
- Need to see the crash reason for feedback
Notes:
- Crash recovery prompt handling happens before single-instance detection
- A normal restart first releases the single-instance service before restarting
Performance
Low-Spec Mode
Description: Turns off page and dialog animations, lowers image scaling quality, and disables the translucent background of the main and settings windows
Scenarios:
- Weaker devices, or graphics drivers with poor animation/transparency support, to reduce UI stutter
- Remote desktop or virtual machine environments where you want to lower rendering cost
How to use: Toggle the switch on or off
Notes:
- Does not affect draw animations or the floating window
- Requires a restart to take effect
