Setting nick and pronouns

You can navigate to Badge → Nick to display your nick and pronouns. If your nick is flow3r, and you have no pronouns, congratulations! You’re ready to go. Otherwise, you’ll have to connect your badge to a computer and edit a file to change your nick and pronouns.

From the main menu, navigate to System → Disk Mode (Flash). Connect your badge to a computer, and it will appear as a mass storage device (a.k.a. pendrive). Open the file `nick.json in a text editor and change your nick, pronouns, font sizes for nick and pronouns, and whatever else you wish. Please note that pronouns is a list, and should be formatted as such. for example: "pronouns": ["aa/bb", "cc/dd"],

For the nick.json file to appear, you must have started the Nick app at least once.

Use "color": "0xffffff", to color your name and pronouns.

Use "mode": "1", to use a different animation mode rotating your nick based on badge orientation.

When you’re done editing, unmount/eject the badge from your computer (umount on Linux is enough) and press the OS shoulder button (right shoulder unless swapped in settings) to exit Disk Mode. Then, go to Badge → Nick to see your changes!

If the nick.json file is unparseable or otherwise gets corrupted, it will be overwritten with the default contents on next nick app startup.
