Device Behavior
Power + Display
Meshtastic power and display config from current firmware protobuf definitions.
Network + Bluetooth
MQTT + Serial + Notifications
Enable Neighbor Info if you want radios to advertise neighbor links. This is the radio-side data MeshFace can use to seed cold-start links.
Message Channels
Observed
Recent packet evidence for local and observed message channels.
Quick Join
Join the shared Meshyface channel without importing a full Meshtastic URL.
Adds or updates a shared secondary channel named Meshyface. This does not change LoRa region, modem preset, or frequency slot.
Channel numbers are local to each radio. Meshyface follows the preset by shared name/key, then uses whichever local slot your radio assigned to it.

Appearance
Fresh installs default to Meshyface blue with a neutral gray line and tint, and changing the controls below keeps the preset on custom.

Tint color drives the shared shell tint used by help notes, console chrome, pane headers, and other shared secondary surfaces.
Tint intensity scales that shared tint from neutral up to a clearly visible wash. Color depth still tunes the broader shell palette and gradients.
Control node color styling for the node list and chat feed.
Off leaves untagged node and chat surfaces neutral. Tagged nodes still keep their explicit tag colors.
Dashboard display behavior for always-on monitoring.
Console tuning for packet logs and command output.
