Settings & themes
The controls in the top bar and the bottom-left gear govern the whole app.
Global model switcher
Section titled “Global model switcher”The box at the bottom of the sidebar. It sets the model that default-engine apps (Loop, Pipeline) use. Every provider this install can reach can be the global model, chat models, the agents (Qwen Code, OpenCode, Hermes) and the PROVIDERS aggregators. The choice is saved server-side and persists; a saved pick is honoured as-is, not silently substituted when a probe is slow or wrong. Agentic/streaming apps (Claude, SEO, Video) keep their own engine.
The Settings panel
Section titled “The Settings panel”The gear (sidebar footer) opens a panel with a left rail and a search box:
- Updates, check now, the two daily check hours, auto-update. See Updating.
- Model routing, skip providers that just failed (3 refusals → 2-minute pause, with a countdown and Try them again now) and fall back to another model (replacement stays within the same kind: agentic CLIs Claude → Codex → Grok → Antigravity; chat models OmniRoute → Kimi → Local → Qwen → DeepSeek). Both off by default; turn failover off when comparing models.
- Secrets, see Secrets & keys.
- Security, see Settings → Security.
- Appearance, theme, sound, language (EN / UK / RU).
- Models / Agents / Forge / Self, card toggles that show or hide any sidebar
entry, lit when shown, with per-section Hide all / Show all. Saved per browser
(
localStorage); nothing is uninstalled or stopped. Hiding Agents → OpenCode removes it from the sidebar, the Dashboard fleet and the radar but does not stopopencode serve.
Themes
Section titled “Themes”Two, switchable at any time; every window follows the choice, including S-Forge and Hermes Swarm:
- Black, cyan on near-black.
- Navy, brass on deep navy (the look of these docs).
Remote access
Section titled “Remote access”Local use needs no login. Reaching Erebros from another device is PIN-gated and configured on the Security card, see Security & remote access.
