## Choose a layout [#choose-a-layout]

Open **Homepage layout** from the centered bottom dock, use **Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+L**
on desktop, or search for **Homepage layout** in **Cmd/Ctrl+K**.

* **Two columns** is the default when no preference is saved. The introduction
  stays on the left, the remaining sections appear on the right, and the scene
  fills the background between them.
* **Hero** puts the introduction inside a centered scene card and stacks the
  other sections below it.

Arrow keys move focus between choices. Press **Enter** to apply the focused
layout, or click a choice to apply it immediately. Selecting either choice closes
the panel, including the currently selected option. **Escape** closes the panel
without changing your preference.

The command palette also offers **Layout: Hero** and **Layout: Two columns**.
On smaller screens, both layouts use a stacked arrangement. The navigation pill
and dock stay centered.

## Adjust the scene [#adjust-the-scene]

Open **Scene settings** in the dock or press **Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+S** on desktop.
Choose a scene, shuffle it, pause it, or adjust its character and rendering
settings. Light and dark themes use suitable artwork and background fades.

The desktop glyph trail follows pointer movement and takes its colors from the
active scene. It is disabled on touch devices and when reduced motion is enabled.
The scene settings let you turn the trail off separately.

## Motion and accessibility [#motion-and-accessibility]

Columns fade and move into place together when changing layouts. The scene fades
into the background without remounting its canvas. The navigation enters from
above, the dock from below, and panels fade toward the dock when dismissed.

Reduced-motion preferences disable entrance movement and smooth scrolling.
Keyboard focus returns to the layout button after selection or Escape, without
leaving a tooltip over the content.
