Features

• Separate cards for sound subtitles and player chat.
• Move each feed to a preset position or drag it in the fullscreen preview.
• Set text size and card width independently for sounds and chat.
• Customise text colours, background colours, opacity, gradients, and presets.
• Use hexadecimal colour fields or the visual colour picker.
• Wrap long sound captions and player names cleanly.
• Client-side only — works on any server.
