Yes, there is a preferences file that should be automatically saving your settings.
It’s a simple text file that gets saved to the extensions folder:
/Users/Shared/Gig Performer/Extensions/GPLyricsChordsPrefs.txt

First check this file exists. If it doesn’t it might indicate a disk permissions issue.
If it’s there, you should see an entry for DarkMode = true

Yep that was it. Had to change that folder to read/write for everyone.

On a different request, I use a couple different lyric apps that have the ability to page down WHILE in auto scroll and then auto scroll picks up scrolling from the new location. Your scroll slider does a similar objective but selecting the Page Up/Down buttons do not . Can you suggest how I can achieve that. I use a bluetooth pedal while playing to make my selections….fyi

Thanks

I’ve taken a look at how I’m doing the current Page Up/Down. The extension doesn’t have a formal concept of pages, so what the ‘Down’ is doing is detecting where the current content ends on the screen (i.e. the visible content), and then jumping one screen-height down.

Is this the behaviour you are seeking?

I really like the Lyrics/Chords Extension. I’ve been working with the auto scroll function and BPM works pretty well. I’ve tried the EZ Scroller (Item number (4) here: Scrolling Your Lyrics or Lead Sheets - Gig Performer®) that Erik Schutz created for the Gig Performer Lyrics/Cords Editor and like it too. Is there a way to incorporate the EZ Scroller timer functions into the Lyrics/Chords Extension Global Panel? I looked at the script for the EZ Scroller but am just beginning to work with scripts and it is above my experience level to make the modifications to work with the Global Panel widgets. I do hope to be able to write scripts for Gig Performer someday. The source code on the extension is very interesting too, but above my present knowledge level also. Any chance anyone has worked with the Lyrics/Chords Extension to include this function or can help me add a timer to the “Page Scroll” widget on the Lyric/Chords Extension Global Panel?

Thank You very much rank13 for creating this excellent extension! And by the way, I have added the duration directive to a song and controlled scrolling speed that way.
