Step 4. Customize the Chapter Text

Open the Font section to personalize the appearance of your chapter titles. You can adjust the font, size, color, outline, shadow, spacing, and background according to your preferred style.

Step 5. Configure the Progress Bar

Expand the Progress Bar section and customize its appearance by modifying the background, played progress, un-played progress, dividers, strokes, fills, and other visual settings.
