Settings

24-Hour Time

If on, Darkness will use 24-hour times (13:45 etc) throughout the application. If off, Darkness will use 12-hour times (1:45 PM etc).

Sound Effects

If on, several (mostly subtle!) sounds will play when certain user interface events are triggered. Example: Tapping the next or previous city arrows on the City Details screen will play a short plane sound. Cute huh? What’s not to like?

City Map

If on, a map will show at the top of the City Details page. It’s pretty cool, so you’ll want this on.

Light Map

If on, areas of the world map that are in shade will appear darker.

Hemisphere

The moon appears differently, depending where you are on the earth.

If you’re in the northern hemisphere (Europe, USA etc), then choosing Northern will ensure the moon icons in Darkness match how the moon looks in the sky.

If you’re in the southern hemisphere (Australia, South America etc), then choosing Southern will ensure the moon icons in Darkness match how the moon looks in the sky.

On first run, Darkness will automatically select the correct hemisphere, based on your current location.
