Monitors & second screen

KaraDom has two monitors: the main one, in the program window, and the audience one, on a TV or second screen, with lyrics and video only and no controls.

The audience monitor

• Connect the TVConnect the second output (HDMI) and extend the Windows desktop (Windows key + P → «Extend»).
• Open the monitorPress KMN or Ctrl+K. The monitor goes full screen by itself on the screen you're not using. With more than two screens, KaraDom asks «Which screen should the audience monitor go to?».
• Use itIt shows 7 lines of lyrics, the yellow wait bar during instrumental breaks and synced videos. You can open it mid-song too: it aligns by itself.

• F11 or double-click: full screen. Esc leaves full screen (or hides the window). Ctrl+K closes it.
• If you unplug or change screens, the monitor fixes itself.
• Without a second screen it opens in a window 80% of the screen size.

The main monitor

It's the one you see: 5 lines of lyrics. Double-click to enlarge it full screen with 7 lines (Esc to go back).

Colors, fonts and background

• Settings → Monitor: for each of the two monitors choose Text color (the «not yet sung», white by default), Highlight color (the «already sung», red by default), Font and Size (0 = automatic, up to 120). Then «💾 Save Monitor Settings».
• Settings → Background: «Enable monitor background», then Image (Browse…) or Solid color. «Full screen» fills the monitor; off, the image stays whole and centered. The background stays behind the words and hides during videos.
