Customization Hover over the Control Deck and select the gear button in the upper-right corner. From the settings panel, you can: Choose which buttons are displayed.

The settings panel itself can be dragged by its header if you need to move it out of the way. Moving, resizing, and reordering Hover over the panel and select the E button to enter Edit Mode. Drag the panel to move it anywhere on the screen. Drag the lower-right handle to resize it. Drag individual control tiles to change their order. Select E again to leave Edit Mode. Move the Control Deck close to a compatible BeastZ app, and its edges will snap into alignment. Use Reset Size to return the panel to its default compact size. Sync Color Enable Sync Color on the Control Deck and another compatible BeastZ app to share appearance changes between them. Hue, transparency, saturation, and text color update together. Apps without Sync Color enabled keep their own independent appearance. Auto-hide and minimize Auto-hide slides the panel off-screen when it is not being used and leaves a small trigger along the selected screen edge. Hover over the trigger to reveal the deck again. The panel remains visible while Edit Mode, Settings, Traffic Settings, or the Exit Game confirmation is active.

Game-mode awareness and safeguards Some BeamNG actions are restricted in certain game contexts. The Control Deck greys out tracked controls when the game reports that they are unavailable and checks their status again when selected. Exit Game requires a second click within four seconds, helping prevent accidental shutdowns. Frequently repeated actions also use short cooldowns.
