Settings Overview
Every option on PowerAim’s Settings sidebar page, organized by card.
The Settings page has 9 cards. Some controls are also exposed on the relevant feature page (e.g. crosshair settings appear both here and on the Overlays card) — this page is the authoritative list.
UI Settings
| Setting | What it does | Default |
|---|---|---|
| Switch to DirectML / CUDA | One-click switch between the DirectML and CUDA release builds | — |
| Language | UI language. 9 options: en, de, es, fr, it, ru, tr, uk, zh | System |
| Accent color | Free color picker for the UI accent while idle (Global Active off) | Purple |
| Accent color when active | A separate accent used while Global Active is on | Green |
| Theme Mode | Light / Dark / System-follow | System |
| UI Top Most | Keep PowerAim window above other windows | On |
| Show Help Texts | Show inline tooltips and help labels | On |
| Show toggle notifications | When a toggle is flipped via its global keybind, briefly show an on-screen notice (e.g. “Aim Assist is now on”) | On |
| Hide UI from Capture | Use Win32 capture exclusion so OBS / NVIDIA ShadowPlay can’t see PowerAim’s window | On |
The old Theme / Theme when Active palette dropdowns have been replaced by free accent-color pickers. The 6 former palettes (Purple, Green, etc.) survive as quick-fill swatches inside the picker, so you can still pick them with one click — or choose any custom color. Light / Dark / System mode is unchanged.
In-app color picker
Everywhere PowerAim asks for a color — the two accent colors above, the FOV ring color, the captured-area border color, the detected-player box color, and the crosshair fill / outline colors — it now opens its own HSV color picker instead of the old Windows color dialog. The picker has a saturation/value spectrum, a hue slider, a hex input, and a row of quick-fill swatches.
Disabling Hide UI from Capture is irreversible during the session — PowerAim warns you and asks for confirmation. The default protects you from inadvertently broadcasting PowerAim during a stream.
