PinPoint exposes a small set of settings that control how it behaves and looks. All settings are accessible from the PinPoint Settings window and save automatically as you change them. To open Settings, right-click the PinPoint icon in the system tray and choose Settings, or press your hotkey while the Settings window is already open.

​
Hotkey

The global hotkey is the keyboard shortcut you press to pin or unpin the focused window. The default is Alt+P. To change it, click the hotkey field in Settings and press your new combination. See Set a custom global keyboard shortcut for full details.

​
Border

The border is the colored frame PinPoint draws around every pinned window so you can tell at a glance which windows are on top. Options include:
  • Enable border — toggle the border on or off
  • Border color — choose any color using the color picker or enter a hex value
  • Border thickness — adjust how thick the border appears
See Configure the border around pinned windows for full details.

​
Appearance

Appearance settings control PinPoint’s color theme (Light, Dark, or System), the background color of the Settings window, and optional sound effects that play when you pin or unpin a window. See Customize PinPoint’s theme, background, and sounds for full details.

​
Language and startup

Choose from 11 supported display languages and decide whether the Settings window opens automatically when Windows starts and PinPoint launches. See Change PinPoint’s display language and startup mode for full details.
