Every action in the app's toolbox, with the picture it shows by default. Drag one onto a key, then set it up in the key settings.

Pictures and looks

  • Every key has a picture and a frame colour. Pick a built-in icon, upload your own picture or an animated GIF (played on the deck), or reset to the default.
  • Key icons above the deck switches all built-in pictures to another style at once.
  • Keys with a live state (Mute, Record, Stream, Discord, app volume) have a second picture for the other state, and volume keys draw a level bar.
  • A title is drawn over the picture; a | in the title starts a second line.
  • Pictures are stored on the Wdeck itself, so a page switch is instant; the app only sends a picture once.

Long press

Most keys can run a second action when you hold them. Set it under Long press in the key settings: the key runs its normal action when you let go quickly, and the long-press action once you hold it. Volume keys repeat while held instead.
