Menu bar controls
When LumaSpace is running, you'll see a small star icon in your menu bar — the thin strip along the very top of your screen with the time, Wi-Fi, battery, and other tiny icons.
Click the star icon to open a quick controls panel. From here you can:
- See which wallpaper is playing — shows the name and a small preview.
- Pause or stop your wallpaper without opening the full app.
- Resume a previously applied wallpaper.
- Adjust audio — some wallpapers come with ambient sounds (rain, waves, etc.). Mute or adjust volume here.
- Performance controls — turn on Battery Mode (pauses wallpaper when unplugged) and view memory usage.
- Display Mode — change how the wallpaper fits your screen (fill, fit, stretch, or center).
- Open LumaSpace or Quit the app entirely.

Think of it as a remote control for your wallpaper that's always one click away.
