Question Time: I see on my RLV restrictions, an open lock saying I CAN change these. How can someone lock me out?

 Questions rock, and this is a good one ...

I see on my RLV restrictions, an open lock saying I CAN change these. How can someone lock me out?

OK so in almost all of the system functional of MicrObey, there's going to be this little lock. Here's a screen shot!



Well cool! What the *&#@_()!@# does that mean? Basically, within the MicrObey ecosystem, an owner can come along and set up your RLV restrictions (in this context, but it applies for things like subliminals, devotions, and so on, as well). So let me show what this looks like from an owner's perspective:


So if they set your RLV restrictions, and check that little box ... You're not going to be able to update your RLV settings yourself. You'll see a little lock saying you can't. Sorry, not up to staging that right now, but that's the short end of the stick there.

I hope that helps demystify things a little!



Question Time: Can I set things up so my whole screen is taken up during a session (like XXX does)

 I love questions! Here's a good one ...

Can I set things up so my whole screen is taken up during a session (like XXX does)

The short answer? Not right now, no.

The longer answer, if you're so inclined ...

When I originally started prototyping MicrObey, I actually DID go for a full screen view of the spirals and themes, but someone (I can't remember who) talked me out of it, and I went with the "border panels". Why? Wide screen monitors is one reason why. The aspect ratio is already a serious quirk. The ultra-wide monitors and ratios just make that more awkward.

Now that things have settled, I'm not at all married to the way things are. I can change this, or even make it configurable, maybe, or some other mixture. I'm adding this to the official list of things to consider. I'd love to hear other and more thoughts on the display presentation of sessions in MicrObey.
