Settings

This page follows the Settings screen from top to bottom. Each line says what a setting is for and links to the page that explains it. In the app, the ⓘ next to a setting gives the same short explanation.

At the top

• Language: the language ComicDrive uses, independently of your phone. More
• Supporter: an optional one-time purchase that unlocks nothing and funds development. More
• Appearance mode: light, dark with true black, or following your phone. More

Reading

The defaults for every comic. In the reader, Layout changes them for one comic. More

• Default reader mode: pages one at a time, or a continuous webtoon strip. More
• Default reading direction: left to right, or right to left for manga. More
• Default page layout: one page, two pages, or automatic on wide screens. More
• Default page fit mode: how each page is scaled to the screen. More
• Default cut margins: crops empty borders around the pages. More

Panels

How panel reading looks and moves, in every comic. More

• Transition time: how long the move to the next panel takes.
• Panel zoom: how close the view zooms in on a panel.
• Center each panel: keeps the panel in the middle of the screen, even at the edge of the page.
• Dim the rest of the page: how dark the page gets around the panel.
• Show whole page first: each page opens whole before its first panel.
• Show whole page last: each page appears whole once more after its last panel.

• Tips & gestures: the gestures that have no button of their own. More
• Reader guide: shows the reader’s short guide again. More
• Volume button navigation: the volume keys turn the pages. More
• Slideshow interval and Slideshow button in the reader bar: how long a slideshow shows each page, and a one-tap start in the reader. More
• Double-tap panning: double-tapping a zoomed page walks across it. More
