Summary
MoBar's appearance is set in the General tab of Settings. You can change the theme, the icon size and whether tooltips appear.

Theme
Choose how MoBar's icons are coloured.
- Monochrome: a single tone, no colour
- Medium Contrast A and B: muted colour by category, in two different colour assignments
- High Contrast A: stronger colour, still line icons
- High Contrast B: solid colour blocks with white icons
Monochrome sits quietly next to the rest of the After Effects interface. The high contrast themes make categories easier to tell apart at a glance, and B is the strongest of the set.
Icons size
Set how large the icons appear: Small, Medium or Large.
Large suits a high resolution display or a panel docked wide. Small fits more tools into a shorter panel.
Tooltips
Enable Tooltips is on by default and controls tooltips everywhere in MoBar.
What you see depends on where you are. In the main panel and dockable panels you get the full tooltip, with a description and a link to that tool's documentation. In popup windows you get a short description only.
💡 On macOS, a tooltip cannot extend past the edge of its panel, so a narrow docked panel can hide it. See Troubleshooting.
