System notices
Settings → Notices lets you show a message to everyone using your Loombre, right now — a heads-up before a restart, a maintenance window, or anything else worth announcing. The message appears live in every open Loombre screen, including over full-screen playback, and anyone who signs in while it's up sees it too.
Composing a notice
Pick a preset or write your own:
- Restart in 5 / 15 / 30 minutes — fills in a ready-made message with a live countdown everyone sees ("… in 4:32"), marked critical so nobody can miss it. The notice clears itself shortly after the restart window passes.
- Maintenance — a warning-level notice for a window you describe yourself. You choose when it stops showing.
- Custom — start from a blank message.
Three levels decide how the message shows up:
| Level | How people see it |
|---|---|
| Info | A small passing message that disappears on its own. |
| Warning | A banner at the top of every page. People can dismiss it, but it returns the next time they open Loombre while the notice is still up. |
| Critical | A banner that stays. No dismiss button until the notice ends. |
Every notice stops showing eventually: info after an hour unless you say otherwise, warnings at the end time you set (they always need one), and critical notices when you cancel them — or at an end time, if you choose to set one.
The countdown does not restart anything
A restart notice is a message, nothing more. When the countdown hits zero the banner switches to a "restarting now" state — but the actual restart is still yours to do, from Settings → Server → Power. The usual order: publish the notice, wait out the countdown, then press the Restart button.
One notice at a time
There is only ever one active notice. Publishing a new one replaces the current one everywhere — the compose screen asks you to confirm the swap first. Cancel on the active notice takes it down immediately for everyone.
Write for every reader
Notices go to every user on your server. Never mention restricted-zone titles, names, or anything personal — the banner does not know who is looking at it. Keep it to what people need: what is happening, and when.
History
The Notices screen keeps a list of past notices — what was sent, by whom and when, and whether it ran out or was cancelled — so you can check what people were told.
