Sound Themes

Kando can play sound effects when you open the menu or select an item. This can be a fun way to make your desktop more lively!

Installing Sound Themes

A sound theme is a directory containing a theme.json and some audio files. If you want to install such such a theme, you should put it into the sound-themes directory. The location of this directory depends on your operating system:

%appdata%\kando\sound-themes\

Selecting a Sound Theme

For now, there is no graphical user interface to select a sound theme. This will come in a future release. However, you can easily change the sound theme by editing the config.json file. This file is located in the same directory as the sound themes directory:

%appdata%\kando\config.json

Simply open this file with a text editor and change the soundTheme property to the name of the sound theme you want to use. For example, if the directory of the sound theme you want to use is my-sound-theme, you use the following configuration:

config.json
{
  // ...
  "soundTheme": "my-sound-theme", // The name of the sound theme's directory
  "soundVolume": 0.5,
  // ...
}
