Preference

Explanation

Enable Alarms when Aurora isn't running

By default, Aurora uses a helper tool in the menu bar to enable alarms even when Aurora itself is not running. If you only need alarms when Aurora is running, deselect this checkbox. Warning: This may lead to missed alarms should you forget to launch Aurora.

Note: If you enable this checkbox and you also enable auto-login for your account (In the "Accounts" System Preferences Panel), you can even shut your Mac down and Aurora will wake you regardless. When the alarm goes off, your Mac will start itself, log you in and start Aurora, which will then run the alarm.

Show Status in the menubar

Deselect this checkbox if you don't want the Aurora menu item in your system menu bar (but alarms still active). If this checkbox is enabled, an Aurora item in your system's menubar will indicate that alarms are enabled even when Aurora isn't running. This menubar item will also show the next alarm's time and let you start Aurora.

Enable EyeTV support

Deselect this checkbox if you want to prevent Aurora from fetching EyeTV channels. This checkbox is disabled when EyeTV is not installed on your System.

Control TV volume

Select this checkbox to let Aurora control EyeTV's volume setting.

Snooze Duration

The amount of time (in HH:MM:SS format) Aurora snoozes an alarm when you press Snooze.
