Customise how PioneerChat looks and behaves to suit your preferences.

Accessing Settings

  2. Adjust your preferences
  3. Changes save automatically

Available Settings

Font Size

Adjust the text size for easier reading:

Setting Range Default
Conversation text size 14px - 28px 16px
Model response size 14px - 28px 16px

Use the slider to adjust. A live preview shows how text will appear.

Tip: If you find the default text hard to read, try increasing to 18px or 20px. For dense information display, you might prefer 14px.

Show Timestamps

Toggle whether to display the time for each message in conversations.

  • On: Shows when each message was sent/received
  • Off: Cleaner interface without timestamps (default)

Timestamps are useful if you need to reference when specific information was exchanged.

Auto-Scroll

Controls automatic scrolling during AI responses:

  • On: Chat automatically scrolls to show new content as it generates
  • Off: You control scrolling manually

You can also toggle this during a conversation using the scroll button that appears while messages are streaming.

Saving Settings

Settings save automatically when you change them. You'll see confirmation:

  • "Saving..." - Change is being saved
  • "Saved!" - Change has been applied

Settings are stored locally and will persist across sessions on the same browser.

Reset to Defaults

To restore all settings to their original values:

  1. Go to Settings
  2. Click Reset to Defaults
  3. Confirm the reset

This resets font sizes, timestamps, and other display preferences to default values.

Settings Across Devices

Display settings are stored in your browser's local storage. This means:

  • Settings are specific to each browser/device
  • Using a different computer will use that device's settings
  • Clearing browser data will reset settings

If you use PioneerChat on multiple devices, you may need to configure each one separately.
