Board layout, colours & the flap sound
Fine-tune how your board looks and sounds, rows and columns, portrait or landscape, text colour, and the classic click-clack flap sound.
Split-Flap TV lets you shape the board to your screen and your brand. You choose how many rows and columns of flaps to show, whether the board runs portrait or landscape, and what colour the text is. The number of characters that fit depends on the layout and the size of your screen.
Reference
Basic HEX colours
By default all text is white. Put a HEX value on the line you want to colour (via the colour picker, or type a HEX you know). For example, two empty lines then #FF6700 colours the third line orange.

-
03
Pick your text colour
Text-Flap boards support unlimited colours, set one that fits your space and brand.

04
Toggle the flap sound
In the control panel, switch the click-clack sound on or off. It plays through the TV as the board updates.
