The Appearance preferences tab controls the look of Audion's control window.

Face browser

The face browser allows you to select a look for Audion. Underneath the face browser is the face's description, which can be configured by the face's author, and a URL that can give you more information about the face's author.

Use alpha channels

Audion supports alpha channels; a method of giving graphics transparency. Alpha channels are what makes the soft shadows in Audion look good no matter what the Audion window is placed on top of. However, alpha channels are complex to implement, and as a result can cause quick "flashes" when the Audion interface is moved or brought to the front. If you don't like these flashes, you can turn off alpha channels.

Note: Turning off alpha channels will severely de-coolify Audion!

Minimal redrawing in background

By turning on minimal redrawing, Audion will update the alpha channel less frequently, and thus will flash less frequently when in the background.

Note: Because Audion's window won't be updating as often, it is possible that pieces of windows long gone can still be shown in Audion's interface. Bringing Audion to the front will remove the leftovers.
