Local Settings
Most of the settings described in this page are stored in relation to the media server you’re currently connected to. For example, mouse sensitivities are stored on a per-connection basis.
Some settings, though, are stored on the device and used for all systems. These are:
-
Colour theme
-
Systems available in Switch System
Command Line Arguments (Desktop)
Control Panel supports launch arguments on desktop for startup behavior control.
-
--kiosk
Starts Control Panel in fullscreen mode. It can only be exited with Alt+F4 or Alt+Tab (or macOS equivalents). -
--initial-path <path>
Opens directly to a specific Control Panel route instead of the default landing page.
Example:--initial-path launchpad -
--launchpad-only
Disable the “Back” button on the launchpad page. Note that this currently does not imply
--initial-path launchpad(but ought to).
