The file is located at:\n\n```sh\n~/.config/istherenet/config.json\n```\n\nThe config file looks like this:\n\n```json\n{\n  \"sounds\" : {\n    \"disconnected\" : \"Mezzo\",\n    \"slow\" : \"Submerge\",\n    \"volume\" : 0.4,\n    \"connected\" : \"Funky\"\n  },\n  \"pingIntervalSeconds\" : 5,\n  \"pingIP\" : \"1.1.1.1\",\n  \"pingSlowThresholdMilliseconds\" : 300,\n  \"fadeSeconds\" : {\n    \"connected\" : 5,\n    \"disconnected\" : 0,\n    \"slow\" : 10\n  },\n  \"colors\" : {\n    \"slow\" : \"systemYellow\",\n    \"connected\" : \"systemGreen\",\n    \"disconnected\" : \"systemRed\"\n  },\n  \"pingTimeoutSeconds\" : 1,\n  \"screen\": \"all\",\n  \"launchAtLogin\": true,\n  \"shellCommandOnStatusChange\" : \"echo 'Status changed to: '$STATUS' with ping time:' $PING_TIME\"\n}\n```\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Ffuzzyideas%2Fistherenet","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Ffuzzyideas%2Fistherenet","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Ffuzzyideas%2Fistherenet/lists"}
