Runtime Configurations

Note: Runtime configurations are designed for developing, testing, and debugging purposes. You shouldn't need to change anything mentioned in this page in order for NineAnimator to run.

It's possible to tweak some of NineAnimator's behaviors through changing environment variables. This is particularly useful for unit testing and debugging purposes.

Environment Variables

Variable Name	Description
NINEANIMATOR_NO_SETUP_SCENE	Set this variable to prevent NineAnimator from displaying the welcome screen at launch.

NINEANIMATOR_APPEARANCE_OVERRIDE	Set this variable to force NineAnimator to switch to a specific appearance at launch. The user's configuration will not be changed.
