  • supa stylee rotating arrow 🧚 (yes that's literally what it says, iconic behaviour, no notes)

  • -r, --run — Run the media player on startup. No extra taps needed, she's already on it 🏃‍♀️
  • -R, --run-exclusive — Run the media player on startup, exit when it exits. Ride or die fr fr — when the player's gone, she's gone too 😭
  • -V, --volume — Stepping of the wheel volume control (in percent). How much volume moves per notch of the wheel 🔉
  • -w, --windowed — Run in windowed mode. Use this, if you want to run wmusic in the AfterStep wharf. 🪟
