# Pretty settings - Integration into your projects

Quickest setup:

* Press Add to Project in your Launcher. If you already have the files in a project, you can use Migrate.

* Go to Window -> World settings. In the world settings menu, find the Game Mode dropdown. Under it, open the Selected GameMode dropdown.
* Change the Player Controller Class to BP\_pretty\_player\_controller.

* Done! Play the level, you can now use Escape/F10/Gamepad Start button to open the menu. Try closing the menu and using 1-2-3-4 keys on your keyboard - this will change UI themes

### If you have your own player controller and want to keep using it:

* Select your player controller blueprint and add BP\_settings\_controller\_component to it.

* Go to the BP\_settings\_controller\_component of your controller and set the menu\_class variable to your menu. Use WB\_ingame\_menu in this case. Don't forget to compile the blueprint after selecting.

BP\_settings\_controller\_component is the most important part, it NEEDS to be added to your controller. Adding menu class is optional but saves you a lot of manual labor. You DON'T have to use WB\_ingame\_menu, but your menu MUST use pretty\_settings widgets (sliders, arrow boxes, key remappers etc.) in order for everything to work correctly

* Setup key inputs to toggle the menu (I'll use F10 for this example). Open BP\_pretty\_player\_controller and copy following nodes from it to your controller:

* Optionally, if you want to be able to swap UI themes on the fly, you can copy-paste these nodes as well:

* Test the changes by playing the level and pressing F10. The game should pause and the ingame menu should open

{% hint style="info" %}
You may notice that the sound settings aren't working yet because no sound classes have been associated with them yet. More info on that in the [tutorial](/pretty_settings/tutorial-hooking-up-sound-settings.md)
