# Your preferences

Language, dollar figures, race sound, seasonal decoration, the lottery invitation and device notifications, saved to your wallet so they follow you to every device.

Preferences are on the Player page, in the Settings tab, grouped as Language, Amounts, Races, Appearance, Lottery and Notifications. They are saved against your wallet, so signing in on another device brings them with you.

Change what you like, then press **Save**. Nothing applies until you do, and Save stays disabled until something differs from what is stored. Every option but one starts switched on, so a wallet that never opens the panel sees the app as designed. Device notifications start off, because turning them on makes your browser ask for permission.

## The dollar figures

The app shows an approximate dollar value beside most amounts. It is an estimate from a market price, and the token amount beside it is the exact one. Turning the conversion off removes the estimate everywhere, including the balance panel in the top bar. See [Fees and prizes](/docs/economy/fees-and-prizes.md) for how the figure is priced.

## The race sound

The three race options are the same switches as the mute and caption buttons on the race screen. Muting the music during a race unticks it here, and unticking it here mutes the next race. They are also remembered on the device itself, so they hold before you sign in.

{% hint style="info" %}
Commentary only plays on races created with AI commentary. The option decides whether you hear it, not whether a race has it.
{% endhint %}

## Device notifications

With this option on, a notification that would appear at the side of the page is also sent through your device while the tab is in the background: you are in another tab, another window, or the browser is minimised. While you are looking at the page, nothing changes.

Pressing **Save** with the box ticked makes your browser ask whether the site may send notifications. If you refuse, the box goes back to off and the rest of your changes still save. To turn it on later, allow notifications for the site in your browser settings, then tick the box again.

The setting covers the marketplace as well. There is no separate switch there: it follows what you saved here, for the wallet you are signed in with.

{% hint style="info" %}
The browser permission belongs to the device, not to your wallet. On a new device the option arrives ticked but that browser has not been asked yet. The app offers to turn notifications on there, once, and the Notifications group shows an **Enable on this device** button until the browser has an answer. Refusing on one device does not switch the option off for the others.
{% endhint %}

## The balance in the top bar

One more choice is saved the same way, and it is made where it shows: which balance the button at the top right displays. See [Your player vault](/docs/economy/player-vault.md#the-balance-in-the-top-bar).
