Glow and background music - Auno
Two touches sit around the content: a soft cloud of color at the top and bottom of every page, and an optional background track behind a round speaker button. Both are off with one switch each.
#Glow
Go to AppearanceCustomizeAuno ThemeGlow.

Both glows slowly shift their hue a little and back. Reduced motion stops it.
#Background music
Go to AppearanceCustomizeAuno ThemeSound.
A round speaker button at the top left plays and pauses a background track. It shows only once a track is chosen below.
An MP3, OGG or M4A file from the media library that loops while music is on.
How loud the track plays, in percent.
Starts the track with the visitor's first click or key press anywhere on the page.
A visitor who turned music on hears it again from their first click on the next page.
The settings below Music toggle hide while it is off.
#Why the music does not start on its own
Browsers block sound until the visitor has interacted with the page, so no site can start audio the moment it opens. Autoplay therefore waits for the first click or key press, and the speaker button is always there to stop it. With Fade without reloading the page chosen in motion and page transitions, the track keeps playing from page to page without restarting.
#Questions
Which file format should I upload?
MP3 plays in every browser. Keep the file short and loop friendly; a minute or two at a modest bitrate loads fast and loops without a noticeable seam.
The speaker button does not appear
It shows only when Music toggle is on and a Background track is chosen. Check both, then reload the site.
