Reader Configuration & Settings ​

Complete guide to configuring the comic viewer, webtoon engine, and light novel reader in Wammy.


Comic & Manga Viewer Settings ​

Access comic settings while reading by tapping the center of your screen, then tapping the Gear / Settings icon in the bottom right corner.

1. Reading Modes ​

  • Webtoon (Continuous Vertical): Renders pages as a seamless, infinite vertical strip with zero padding between pages. Ideal for Korean webtoons and full-color manhwa.
  • Right-to-Left (Traditional Manga): Flips pages horizontally right-to-left matching original Japanese manga publication order.
  • Left-to-Right: Standard Western comic reading order.
  • Vertical (Paged): Vertical page flips with snap-to-page behavior.

2. Scale Type ​

  • Fit Screen: Automatically scales the page to fit both width and height within your display.
  • Fit Width: Scales the page width to match your screen width; ideal for reading high-detail manga panels.
  • Fit Height: Scales page height to display height.
  • Original Size: Displays the image at 1:1 native resolution.

3. Display Enhancements ​

  • Crop Borders: Automatically trims excess white or black margins from the edges of comic pages.
  • Color Filter: Apply warm amber, grayscale, or invert colors for night reading.
  • 32-Bit Color: Enables high-fidelity 32-bit color rendering to eliminate banding on subtle gradients.

Light Novel Reader Settings ​

Access novel settings by tapping the center of the screen while reading any light novel chapter.

1. Typography & Formatting ​

  • Font Size: Scale text up or down dynamically from 12sp to 36sp.
  • Custom Font: Choose from built-in typography or place your own .ttf / .otf font files in Wammy/fonts to read with custom book typefaces.
  • Line Spacing: Adjust vertical spacing between text lines for comfortable long-form reading.
  • Text Alignment: Switch between Justified, Left-aligned, or Center-aligned paragraphs.
  • Margins: Set left and right screen padding to prevent text from touching device bezels.

2. Reading Themes ​

  • Pure Black (AMOLED): Deep pure black background (#000000) with soft white text to maximize battery life on OLED screens.
  • Sepia Warm: Gentle warm tint reducing blue light for bedtime reading.
  • Slate: Dark charcoal theme with reduced contrast for eye comfort.
  • Clean Light: Crisp paper-white theme for bright daylight reading.

3. Text-to-Speech (TTS) Narration ​

  • Tap the Headphones icon in the novel reader top bar to start hands-free voice narration.
  • Control playback speed (0.5x to 3.0x) and voice pitch.
  • Audio continues playing smoothly across chapter boundaries and when your device screen is locked.
