⚙️ List of settings

DisplaySmallIcon.txt - Change small icon beside the rim.

  1. On the extracted widget folder, go to settings folder, and open DisplaySmallIcon.txt with a text or code editor.

  2. Place what you want to display on the small icon and save it.

Available icons: (not case-sensitive)

instrument (default) - will show the instrument being played along with the difficulty ring.

source - will show the icon for the chart source. (grabbed from YARC-Official/OpenSource)

none - will not show anything on the small icon.

Instrument.txt - Change current instrument.

As for now, the widget isn't able to detect what instrument is being played. In case you're playing an instrument that's not Guitar, you might need to change inside the settings.

  1. On the extracted widget folder, go to settings folder, and open Instrument.txt with a text or code editor.

  2. Place what instrument you'll be playing

Warning This is case-sensitive.

Available instruments:

GUITAR - GUITAR_COOP - REAL_GUITAR - RHYTHM - BASS - REAL_BASS - DRUMS - GH_DRUMS - REALDRUMS - KEYS - REAL_KEYS - VOCALS - HARMONY

  • You can put multiple instruments separated by a comma (example: GUITAR,GUITAR_COOP,RHYTHM,BASS,KEYS) so you don't have to change mid-screen in case a chart doesn't have specified instrument.
  • The order you put the instruments will matter, as the widget will fetch the first instrument with chart available.
  • In case you want to change the instrument mid-stream, just change the Instrument.txt and click Refresh on the Browser Source in OBS. (you can use Streamer.bot + StreamDeck to write the file + refresh the browser source)

TextAlignment.txt - Change text position.

  1. On the extracted widget folder, go to settings folder, and open TextAligment.txt with a text or code editor.

  2. Place the alignment value and save.

Available alignment values: (not case-sensitive)

left (default) - Shows album art and text left-to-right

right - Shows album art and text right-to-left

center - Shows album art and text left-to-right, but widget will be centered on canvas

LastFmAPIKey.txt - Use Last.fm as a fallback when album art isn't available on chart.

  1. Go to https://www.last.fm/api/account/create (you'll need to create an Last.fm account if you don't have)

  2. You'll need to provide an Application Name, feel free to chose whatever name. (the other fields aren't required)

  3. Copy your API key, you'll need it later.

  4. On the extracted widget folder, go to settings folder, and open LastFmAPIKey.txt with a text or code editor.

  5. Paste your API key, and save.

PlayingOBSSceneName.txt - Change OBS Scene to Playing Scene when song is playing.

  2. Paste on the PlayingOBSSceneName.txt text file.

  3. Right-click on the YAWO4YARG browser source, and go to Properties.

  4. Scrolling to the bottom of the properties, set the Page permissions to Advanced access to OBS. (Needed to widget to change the current OBS Scene)
