Indicators on the picture

The Indicators group on the Appearance page of Options sets what is drawn over the picture. Tick the ones you want:

Indicator	What it shows
Keyboard	the rows of keys the program is reading (ZX machines only)
Joystick	blinks while the joystick is read
Mouse	blinks while the mouse is read
Tape	on while the tape plays, red while it records
Disk	green when a disk is read, red when it is written
FPS	frames per second, top right
HALT	the T-states up to the HALT and in the whole frame, bottom right
CPU clock	the clock in MHz, bottom right, while the CPU is not on its base clock - turbo or overclock
Messages	what Xpeccy+ has just done, bottom left: “size x3”, “quick save” and so on
Snow notice	the message, falling snow and blinking snowflake when a game causes ULA snow, and the snowflake while it snows on (see When a game snows); the snow itself stays
Fade out	signs and messages fade away instead of vanishing at once

Joystick, Mouse, Tape, Disk, FPS and CPU clock are drawn on the picture only while the status bar is hidden; with the status bar shown, they are in the status bar instead (see Status bar).

In the top right corner a sign also shows the speed mode, in the manner of a video recorder: pause, rewind with how many seconds back, fast mode, fast forward or slow motion (see Speed and time).
