Customization

In the View menu, you can customize Radiccio’s appearance to suit your preferences.

By default, Radiccio assigns an icon to each of your sources. You can customize the icon for each source in Source Settings.

You can choose from a handpicked selection of icons from Apple’s beautiful SF Symbols icon set. Or, you can provide your own icon, as a monochrome PNG with transparent background.

If you don’t want to customize the icons, and you also don’t want to see the default icons, you can turn off the icons entirely by toggling View > Show Sidebar Icons.

Compact Playback Controls

This allows you to have a simpler, less cluttered interface, with fewer things on screen. This can be useful if you don’t wish to use all of the corresponding features, or prefer a more minimal appearance.

When this is enabled:

The stop button is removed
The play and pause buttons are combined into a single button, which shows play or pause depending on current playback state. (It may appear as a stop button for live streaming audio.)
The following secondary buttons are removed: back to start of song, favorite, journal, star rating, more menu

Show Nerdy Info

This can show some additional information about the currently playing song, such as audio codec, bitrate, number of channels (stereo, mono or surround), etc.

This information is not always available, depending on the source type and audio format.

Show Album Art in Playback Queue

When enabled, each item in the playback queue displays a small version of the album art in the list.

You may wish to enable this if you frequently listen to compilations or playlists with many different albums.

Now Playing on Right Side

This is the default appearance of Radiccio. It features a large space for displaying the album art of the currently playing song, as well as the playback queue, which is always on screen so you can see what’s playing next at a glance.

Now Playing on Bottom

If you prefer an experience more typical of other desktop music player apps, try toggling this option. The right sidebar will disappear, and you will see a new toolbar at the bottom of the window, which contains the now playing information and controls.

In this mode, the playback queue is not visible on the screen at all times. To view and interact with the queue, click the playback queue button, which is on the right side of the toolbar, all the way at the end. It opens in a popover so you can quickly see what’s next or make changes.

You can also combine this option with Compact Playback Controls for an even more minimal appearance.

Show Journal

This opens the Journal window, so you can browse previous journal entries. To make a new journal entry, click the journal button or menu item on an album or song. Read more about the Journal feature.

This is not a customization option, but since it is an inspector window, it is included in the View menu in accordance with Mac platform conventions.

You can hide the sidebar entirely.

This can be useful if you only have one source, and therefore have no need to switch between sources.

You may also wish to do this if you have limited screen space available, or simply prefer a more minimal look.

Whether or not the sidebar is hidden, you can also switch sources using the Source menu in the menubar.

Enter Full Screen

Radiccio is designed to work well in full screen mode, if you should so choose.

There is a known issue in which the Source Settings window incorrectly appears overlaid over a black background. We are currently investigating possible solutions to this issue. This is a cosmetic issue and does not affect the functionality, so when you are done, you can close the window as normal.
