Accessibility Settings
The Accessibility tab of Settings collects options that make LogRaker easier to read and use.
Text size
The Text size slider scales the main LogRaker window - the log output and the sidebar - from 70% to 200% of the standard size. 100% is the size LogRaker ships with. The slider moves in 5% steps.
Changes take effect immediately as you move the slider, including any Streams that are already open, so you can dial in a comfortable size while watching live output. The Text size control on this tab previews the size as you drag.
Menus, dialogs, and editor sheets keep the standard system text size - following the macOS convention where a text-size setting scales the content you read, not the app's chrome.
Alternate row colors
Alternate row colors (on by default) shades every second line, which is what keeps a wide line's columns readable straight across. It applies to a Stream's output and a Monitor's matches; lists elsewhere are unaffected. Changes apply to open windows immediately.
Opacity sets how strong that shading is, from 10% to 100% of the system's own alternating color. 100% is what macOS draws by default; lower values keep the same tone, fainter.
Play a sound when an item is dropped into place
Play a sound when an item is dropped into place (on by default) gives a short snap whenever a drag lands on a target: a Monitor dropped onto a Dashboard or moved to another cell, a Stream dropped into a Layout pane, or a Source dropped onto a Monitor. Drops that are refused - a duplicate, or a dashboard cell that already holds a card - stay silent, as does rearranging rows in the sidebar. Turn it off here if you would rather work without it. The snap, and the thump a removal plays, follow System Settings ▸ Sound: they play through 'Play sound effects through' and stay silent while 'Play user interface sound effects' is off.
Play removal effects
Play removal effects (on by default) blows a dismissed item apart: it breaks into pieces that fly out, spin, fall, and fade. It applies to a row you delete from the sidebar or take off 'Favorites', anything you remove from a Dashboard, a pane you take out of a Layout, a dimming pill or a Source pill you close, a trusted host, stored credential or SSH key you remove, and the update and What's New notices. Turn it off and the item simply goes.
Reduce Motion
LogRaker honors the system Reduce Motion setting (System Settings ▸ Accessibility ▸ Display ▸ Reduce Motion). When it is on, LogRaker minimizes non-essential animation: the sidebar activity waveform and status LEDs change state without fading or pulsing, drag-and-drop borders stay still, cards and panels appear without sliding, and the About window's animated trace holds steady. The information each of these conveys is unchanged - only the motion is removed. LogRaker follows the system setting and updates the moment you change it. Play removal effects above is the one animation with a switch of its own, and Reduce Motion overrides it either way.
