Use Ambient Frame with Basic or Pro

Ambient Frame is available with Basic or Pro access. The Aesthetics workspace shows the plan requirement when the effect is locked.

Ambient Frame is presentation only. Its settings change the visual frame around the screen and do not change how LowLighter processes a selection.

Keep the frame available

Ambient Frame uses a native desktop presentation and can remain visible after you close the main LowLighter window. It is designed to keep background memory use modest while it runs.

Reopen LowLighter from the Windows system tray or macOS menu bar to change it. Choose Quit LowLighter when you want the frame and other running features to stop.
