Opens from File > Options.... Every setting here is saved in Yoake.ini ([options]
section, see Yoake.ini) with a readable name - unlike real mIRC,
which packs them into opaque numeric strings (n0=0,0,0,0,0,0,300...) never fully
documented even by its own community.
| Option | What it does | Default |
|---|---|---|
| Connect automatically on startup | Tries to automatically reconnect when Yoake starts, if you already have a saved session - applies to Telegram, WhatsApp and every saved IRC server (see IRC). When disabled, Yoake won't connect to any network until you press the Connect button. | On |
| Close windows on disconnect | Closes a network's windows when you disconnect from it (e.g. unlink the device from the phone). | Off |
| Minimize to tray | Closing the main window reduces Yoake to a system tray icon instead of quitting. | Off |
| Leave on close | Closing a group/channel window actually leaves that group instead of just hiding the window. | Off |
| Delete on close | Closing a chat also deletes its local history. | Off |
| Font size | Text size in the message area. | - |
| Nicklist font size | Text size in the user list. | - |
| Taskbar font size | Text size in the taskbar tabs (at the bottom, one for each open window) - the font itself stays the one chosen for the whole program, only the size is customized here. | 11px |
| Message format | Message display format (plain text or formatted HTML). In HTML mode, a YouTube/TikTok/Facebook/Vimeo link shared as plain text (not as a real attachment) also shows a small preview with thumbnail and title, when the site makes it available without being logged in - TikTok and Facebook often don't show it for this reason, the link stays clickable regardless. Clicking the preview opens the video embedded in a Yoake window instead of an external browser (YouTube and Vimeo always, TikTok almost always, Facebook isn't as reliable as the other three) - if it doesn't play, there's still a link at the top right of the window to open it in the browser. | - |
| Show timestamp next to each message | Like Timestamp in real mIRC's options: adds the time before every message. | Off |
| Add wa~/te~ prefix to window titles | Adds wa~ in front of WhatsApp window titles and te~ in front of Telegram ones (nick, group, channel, broadcast) - useful to tell at a glance which network a message is coming from when you're connected to both. Only in the window header and in the taskbar row at the bottom: it doesn't change the chat's real title, so it has no effect on $chan, Channel Central, or anywhere else that needs the original name. Status windows never get the prefix. | Off |
| Timestamp format | Time format when Timestamp is on (24-hour with or without seconds, or 12-hour AM/PM). | - |
| Nicklist display | How to show participants in the user list (text or with avatars). | - |
| Avatar size | Size of the shown avatars. | - |
| Userlist width | Width of the user list. | - |
| Nicklist position | Which side of the window to show the user list on (right/left). | - |
| Message area width | Width of the message area (0 = automatic). | - |
| Titlebar Text | Text added after "Yoake -" in the main window's title - same effect as the /titlebar command (see Commands), handy for anyone who doesn't want to use the command. Empty = default title "Yoake". | (empty) |
Entries with no default given have no "factory" value written in Yoake.ini until you touch them - they stay at whatever value the Options window itself proposes, exactly as today.
