Throttle Settings

The Settings screen lets you customize the Throttle app to suit your operating style. Settings are grouped into sections — Throttle, Account, Layout, and Appearance — reachable from the section nav on the side.

Throttle settings screen

Throttle

Controls that shape how the single-locomotive Throttle Control screen looks and behaves:

  • Throttle Type — choose your preferred control style:
    • Buttons — incremental speed buttons (the default).
    • Slider — a vertical speed slider with a forward/reverse lever.
    • Dashboard — a skeuomorphic control-stand with an LCD readout, notch markers, brake, and headlight knobs.
  • Functions Panel — show or hide the DCC function buttons (F0–F28).
  • Speed Display — show the current speed as a round Dial gauge or a Digital number readout.
  • Consist Info — show coupled-locomotive (consist) information on the throttle.
  • Home Stats — show or hide the layout stats row on the Home screen.
  • Conductor Right Panel — pick which module fills the right column of the Conductor View: Turnouts, Effects, Signals, Devices, or Routes.

Account

Manage your DEJA.js account details and sign-out.

Layout

Layout-level options. If your account has more than one layout, a Disconnect Layout action appears here, letting you leave the current layout and choose another from the Connect page. Single-layout accounts stay on their layout and don't see this option.

Appearance

Theme and per-page background options, plus the Quick Menu bottom-navigation editor:

  • Theme — the app follows your system light/dark preference and can be switched here.
  • Backgrounds — customize the background treatment for individual pages (Home, Turnouts, Roster, Routes, Signals, Effects, Conductor, Connect).
  • Quick Menu favorites — choose which items appear in the bottom navigation bar. The default favorites are Connections, Roster, Throttles, Conductor, Throttle, and Settings.

The installed app version is shown at the bottom of the Settings screen.
