Main Control Screen

The Main Control screen is the default view when your mixer is connected. It shows:

• The macro button grid
• Connection state (for example, Connected to PC)

This screen reflects whatever you’ve configured in the Sliders and Macros sections of Mixlar Control. There is no extra setup required here.

The Spotify screen provides a full-screen player view with large text and transport controls.
It also powers Spotify macros and toast overlays.

​

2. Click Sign in with Spotify.
3. Complete the login in your browser.

Once connected, the Spotify page becomes available on the mixer and can be selected from the page menu.

Spotify Toast Overlay

The Spotify connection also enables a compact overlay that can appear on any screen, not just the Spotify page. The overlay can show:

• Current song and artist
• When music is paused or resumed
• When a track is liked or unliked

Configure it under: Settings → Notifications → Spotify There you can:

• Turn Spotify notifications on or off
• Adjust how long they stay on screen
• Prevent them from appearing while you are already on the Spotify page

​

Stats Screen

The Stats screen focuses on system monitoring. It shows live widgets for CPU, GPU, RAM, and network activity. Typical tiles include:

• CPU usage, clock speed, and temperature
• GPU usage, power draw, and temperature
• RAM usage
• Fan speeds
• Network upload/download and latency

The Stats screen requires no additional configuration in most setups. As long as Mixlar Control is running on your PC, data will populate automatically.

​

ScreenSaver Screen

The ScreenSaver page is a flexible, always-on view that can show the time, weather, and current song, with a customizable background. Open Settings → ScreenSaver in Mixlar Control to configure it.

​

Behavior tab

Key options:

• Enable ScreenSaver – master on/off
• Enable on sub-screens (Spotify, Stats) – choose whether the ScreenSaver can activate while those pages are visible
• Timeout – how long the mixer waits (for example 5, 10, or 30 minutes) before switching to ScreenSaver
• Use 24-hour time format – optional time display style

​

Weather tab

Here you can:

• Enable or disable weather
• Choose a provider
• Set a location (or use auto-detect)
• Toggle Celsius vs Fahrenheit

Weather information refreshes periodically and appears in the top corner of the ScreenSaver.

​

Theme tab

Use this tab to:

• Select a preset background color
• Use a custom color (enter a hex value)

This color applies to the ScreenSaver and helps it match your room or desktop theme.

​

Spotify tab

When Enable Spotify is turned on, the ScreenSaver can show:

• Current song
• Artist
• A minimal now-playing indicator at the bottom of the screen

1. Press and hold the Master Volume dial for about one second.
2. A page selector will appear.
