Set how see-through the pill is and what colour it goes while Blabb is listening.
UPDATED 2026-07-28
Two settings, both about the pill that sits on screen while Blabb is running.
| Control | Range | Default |
|---|---|---|
| Floating window visibility | 10–100%, in 5% steps | 100% |
| Listening indicator color | Default / Windows accent / Custom | Default |
| Custom listening color | A colour picker, shown only when Custom is chosen | — |
Floating window visibility#
How solid the pill looks. It starts fully opaque at 100%; at 10% it is barely there.
The reason to drop it is simple: the pill is always on screen, and sooner or later it comes to rest over something you need to read. At 50% you can read straight through it and still see it well enough to know Blabb is listening. Below about 20% you will lose track of it entirely, which is fine if you know your shortcut and never look.
You can also drag the pill somewhere less annoying — it stays where you drop it. Try that before turning it invisible.
Listening indicator color#
The colour the indicator goes while Blabb is listening. Three choices:
- Default — Blabb's own colour.
- Windows accent — follows the accent colour you set in Windows, so it matches everything else on your desktop and changes when you change that.
- Custom — reveals a colour picker and uses whatever you choose.
Pick something you will notice against the window you dictate into most. If you have taken the opacity down, a stronger colour buys back some of the visibility you gave up.
