# Attract Mode Options

This dialog lets you set up PinballY's "attract mode", which is a sort of screen-saver mode that kicks in when you haven't pressed any buttons for a while. Attract mode acts as a screen saver by automatically changing the images displayed in each window periodically, which also helps make the machine more eye-catching when idling (thus the name "attract mode").

Enable attract mode: Check or uncheck this box to enable or disable attract mode.

Enter attract mode after idle (seconds): Sets the idle time before attract mode engages. The idle time is simply the time since the last button press or other input event.

Switch games every (seconds): Sets the time between automatic game switches once attract mode is engaged. The system will automatically switch games at this interval as long as it's in attract mode.

Attract mode status line messages: A list of messages to display on the status line while attract mode is active. These messages replace the normal Upper/Lower status line displays. Enter one message per line.

Status line message time (seconds): Switching time for the status line messages. Each message is displayed for this long, then the next message from the list is displayed.
