goldstrap / profile
Profile
A small identity for the launch menu: a name, a picture, a font and a streak. It is decoration, stored locally, and entirely optional.
The row in the menu
At the top left of the launch menu you get a circular avatar, a display name, an optional badge and the current streak. Click it to open the editor: avatar, name, badge, font and streak in one panel.
The row takes the menu's own theme, so it looks the same as the rest of the window in light and dark mode. The panel opens with a blurred backdrop rather than a flat colour.
Turning it off
Settings → Appearance → User profile
On by default. With it off, the row disappears from the launch menu and the streak stops counting. Your name, avatar and settings are not deleted; turn it back on and everything is where you left it.
Avatar
Any .png, .jpg, .bmp, .gif or .webp the system can decode — .webp depends on the Windows codec being installed. Animated GIFs keep animating.
The file is copied into %LOCALAPPDATA%\Goldstrap\Profile with a unique name, so replacing an animated avatar actually reloads instead of showing a cached frame. The original file is not touched.
Name and font
- Name — up to 20 characters, trimmed. An empty name falls back to
User. - Badge — a decorative check next to the name. It means nothing and verifies nothing; it is there because you asked for it.
- Font — Default, Rubik or Cascadia Code, the same fonts the app is built with. A font that fails to load falls back to Default.
The daily streak
Counted when the launch menu opens, not when Roblox launches.
| Situation | Result |
|---|---|
| First time | Streak starts at 1. |
| Same day, opened again | Unchanged. |
| Next day | Increases by one. |
| A day was missed | Back to 1. |
| System clock moved backwards | Nothing happens; the stored date is kept. |
Because the streak is local, changing the clock changes the streak. It is a cosmetic counter, not an account record.
Where it is stored
Profile.json in %LOCALAPPDATA%\Goldstrap, plus the avatar file next to it. Delete both and the profile resets to User with no avatar and no streak.
The profile is not linked to your Roblox account. Goldstrap does not read your username or avatar from Roblox — you choose them here, and they stay on this PC.
