Settings Reference

Opening Settings

The gear icon at the top left of the window, or Settings from the tray menu. Three sections: Licensing, Customizations and Preferences. Changes apply immediately — there is no save button.

Licensing

Details of each licence state are in Getting Started.

Customizations

The status dot

A small draggable indicator in its own always-on-top window. It floats above everything, including full-screen apps and across all desktops, and it stays visible when the main window is hidden.

Drag it anywhere; the position is remembered and it is kept on-screen if your displays change. It is the only feedback you get when running prompts by background hotkey, so switching it to Hide on Idle is worth doing if you use those.

Resizing the window

What it is. The main window can be resized freely by dragging any edge or corner, like any other window. Grab strips run along all four edges and sit in all four corners; a small grip in the bottom-right corner marks the most common one.

How to reach it. Move the pointer to the window's edge until the cursor changes, then drag. Nothing needs enabling first.

Two sizing modes

The window is in one of two modes, and dragging an edge is what switches between them.

Your size is remembered across restarts. To go back to auto, open Settings → Window Size and click Reset. Choosing the Normal or Large preset does the same thing, since picking a preset is itself an explicit size choice.

Limits

Dialogs keep their own size

Settings and the editors are fixed-size dialogs rather than elastic panes: they are meant to be presented at their designed size whatever you have done to the window. They render inside the window, though, so a window shorter than the dialog would squash it.

So in manual mode, opening a dialog temporarily grows the window to fit, and closing it puts your size back exactly. Three details follow from that:

• The window only ever grows for a dialog. It is never shrunk to match one.
• Nested dialogs — an editor opened from a drawer, say — each take their turn. The window returns to your size only once the last one has closed.
• If you drag an edge while a dialog is open, that becomes your size and the restore is dropped. Your most recent deliberate choice wins.

Limits & gotchas

• The window looks flatter while you drag. Background blurs and transitions are switched off for the duration of the gesture — they are expensive to redraw on every frame across a transparent window, and leaving them on makes the drag tear. Everything returns when you let go.
• Your operating system cannot resize it. Resizing runs entirely through Triplo's own handles, so OS window-snapping and resize shortcuts will not apply to the main window. This is deliberate — it is what keeps the frameless window free of the phantom borders it used to draw on Windows.
• The edge strips are thin — five pixels, and they stop short of the corners so they never steal a click from a control near the border. The corners themselves have a larger target.
• Resizing works while panels are open. The handles sit above Settings, the drawers and the history sidebar, so you can size the window with any of them on screen.
• Once in manual mode, the window stops following its content. If a long conversation now scrolls inside a short window, that is the mode working as intended — drag it taller, or click Reset.

Preferences

Eleven toggles.

Settings that live outside Settings

Four switches are in the bottom bar rather than the Settings panel, because you change them often.

The top bar holds four more per-prompt choices: model, output language, instruction and Mind. All persist across restarts.

Plan permissions

Some features are gated by your plan. Triplo reads the list when your licence validates; a locked feature shows an upgrade notice rather than failing silently.

With no licence key at all, nothing is gated — every feature is reachable so you can evaluate the app. Restrictions apply only once a key has been validated.

Help & About

The question mark at the top right.

Updates

Triplo AI keeps itself current from the official release feed, and never installs anything without asking. When a build is ready, a download icon appears in the top bar — hover it for the version, click it for the details.

The prompt names the version and warns that the app will restart. Restart & update installs it and relaunches; Later postpones it for four hours and asks again. Nothing installs in the background, so a run in progress is never interrupted.

If an update will not apply, the current build is always on the Downloads page.

File locations

The structure of the content folder is described in Core Concepts, and the file formats in Advanced Usage.
