View Rules And Hide Policies
View rules manage the relationship between the lyric view and other System UI status bar elements. Hide policies automatically hide lyrics in specific states.
Anchor
The anchor is the reference view used when Lyricon inserts lyrics into System UI. Since status bar structures differ between ROMs, anchor selection directly affects the final position.
If lyrics are misplaced, adjust the anchor and insertion order first.
View Visibility Rules
Open Basic Settings and tap Configure view visibility rules. This page controls whether selected status bar views are hidden while lyrics are playing.
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| Default | Keeps the system's original visibility |
| Hide when playing | Hides the view while lyrics are playing |
This is useful for hiding status bar elements that overlap with lyrics on some ROMs.
Hide On Lock Screen
When Hide on lock screen is enabled, lyrics are not shown on the lock screen. Use this if lyrics interfere with the lock screen layout.
Hide When No Lyrics
No lyric hide timeout controls how long Lyricon waits before hiding the lyric view when no lyrics are available. 0 means never hide.
Hide When No Updates
No update hide timeout controls how long Lyricon waits before hiding the lyric view after lyric updates stop. This is useful when playback pauses, a provider stops pushing updates, or playback ends.
Keyword Hide
Keyword hide uses two settings together:
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| Keyword regex list | One regex per line, matched against lyric content |
| Keyword match hide timeout | Delay before hiding the lyric view after a match |
It is useful for hiding ads, intro markers, placeholder text, or other unwanted content.
Blocked Lyric Regex
Blocked lyric regex directly hides matching lyric lines. Unlike keyword hide, it filters specific lines instead of triggering a full lyric view hide timeout.
Regex Notes
- One rule per line is easier to maintain.
- Broad rules may accidentally hide normal lyrics.
- Test several tracks after changing rules.
- If you are not familiar with regex, ask AI.
After ROM Updates
System updates, theme changes, or status bar module changes may alter the System UI view hierarchy. If lyrics or rules stop working, reselect the anchor and review view rules.
