FlashCards has many settings to make your experience exactly what you feel it should be. There are so many, that we feel we must explain them in greater detail.
Study Card Settings
Show Card Lines
You can disable the "lines-on-a-page" effect when studying. This setting was added by popular request.
Card Color
This changes the color of the card when studying. FlashCards has 10 card colors to choose from. You can choose from Chalkboard, White, Pink, Blue, Yellow, Green, Orange, Black, Red, and Gray.
Text Color
You can change the color of the text that is displayed when studying. Choose Default to let FlashCards choose the best color, or override it with White, Pink, Blue, Yellow, Green, Orange, Black, Red, and Gray. Make sure the Text Color is not the same as the Card Color! You will not be able to read the text.
Text Alignment
By default, the text in all cards will be centered. You can change this to align Left, or align Right.
Text Size
By default, the text inside of the cards Auto Grows to fit the space in the card. The fewer the characters in the card, the larger the text. The more characters, the smaller the font. You can select Auto Grow, or choose the specific text size you like from 12 to 30 pixels.
Background
When you enter study mode, the default application background is used. Added by popular demand, you can now change this background to several colors and styles! Choose from Chalkboard, Wood Desk, White, Black, Gray, Pink, Blue, Yellow, Green, Orange and, Red.
Fullscreen
By default, the top bar of the screen shows the Application Menu, Date/Time, Signal Strength, and battery life. If you prefer, you can activate fullscreen mode to hide these. It increases the height of the study area, giving more focus to the material.
Random Card
When selecting a random card from the controls, FlashCards attempts to select a random card that has not been seen, or has been viewed the lowest number of times. This is called Smart Random. If you would like to see a random card irregardless of how many times you may have seen it already, choose True Random.
Study Animations/Options
Show Right/Wrong
By default, when you view the answer to a card, a Right/Wrong option is displayed. You can disable this feature by setting it to No. You can still use the keyboard shortcuts, but if you do not use the Right/Wrong options, you will not have any way to see your progress and will also disable Leitner Boxes.
After R/W (Abbreviation for Right/Wrong)
By default, when you let FlashCards know you got an answer right or wrong, it will advance the next card in the lineup. You can change the action that is performed to No Action, Show Next Card, or Show Random Card.
Allow Multiple Choice
If a set has multiple choice answers, a dialog box will ask you to choose the correct answer automatically. You can disable this feature by setting it to No.
Hint Delay
If a card has a hint, the prompt to show the hint will be delayed for 5 seconds. You can change this delay to No Delay, 1 Second, 3 Seconds, 5 Seconds, 8 Seconds, or 10 Seconds.
Box Movement
By default, when you mark a card as getting it wrong, it moves the card into Leitner Box 1. You can change this setting to Reset to Box 1, or Move Down 1 Box. If the Move Down 1 Box option is selected, the card will simply move down 1 box instead of going into Box 1. The lowest it can go is Box 1.
Card --> Swipe
By default, when you swipe a card from Left to Right, the Previous Card in the set is shown. You can change this so it shows a Random Card, or the Previous Card in the set.
Card <-- Swipe
By default, when you swipe a card from Right to Left, the Next Card in the set is shown. You can change this so it shows a Random Card, or the Next Card in the set.
Other Settings
These preferences are available for individual sets only.
Auto Multiple Choice
Auto Multiple Choice assigns the correct answer to a random letter. Incorrect answers are generated at random from other answers in the set. This works best for sets with short answers only. If a set (or a card within the set) already has multiple choice options, those options will be used instead of a randomly generated list.
Direction
By default, FlashCards shows the cards with the Question on the front, and the Answer on the back. You can enter reverse mode any time while studying. This option now let's you set the default method of study (Question then Answer or Answer then Question) for each set.
