Settings file

Settings are saved automatically to %APPDATA%\Margin\settings.json on Windows and ~/.config/margin/settings.json on Linux, so you can also edit them by hand (comments and trailing commas are allowed). The format is the same on both.

#Example

The example below is shortened: a sections list that leaves a zone out leaves it unassigned, so list every zone you want to keep.

json

  "activation": "slideIn",
