1.2. After installing the `.zip` distribution

Application w2x-app is intended to be used directly from the directory created by unzipping its distribution.

On Windows, you can start w2x-app by double-clicking w2x_install_dir\bin\w2x-app.exe^[1].

On the Mac and on Linux, please type the following command in a terminal, then press Enter:

/opt$ w2x-1_12_0/bin/w2x-app &

Running w2x-app on a computer having a very high resolution (HiDPI) screen

	Running w2x-app on a computer having a very high resolution (HiDPI) screen
w2x-app works fine on computers having very high resolution (HiDPI) screens. For example, it works fine on a Mac having a Retina® screen and a Windows computer having an UHD (“4K”) screen. However, on some Linux computers having HiDPI screens, HiDPI is not automatically detected. You'll have to specify the display scaling factor you prefer using the `-putpref` command-line option: w2x-app -putpref displayScaling 200 Preference key `displayScaling` may be used to globally change the size of all the items comprising the user interface of w2x-app. More information.

FlatLAF as the default Look&Feel on Linux

On Linux, FlatLAF and its light theme (called "FlatLight") is now used as the default Look & Feel. This is needed because on Linux, the “system” Look & Feel (called "Metal") looks rather outdated.

If, for any reason, you prefer to use the “system” Look & Feel, please start w2x-app by running

w2x-app -putpref lookAndFeelClassName fallback

This setting is done once for all. If after doing that, you finally prefer to revert to FlatLaf, simply run

w2x-app -delpref lookAndFeelClassName

The FlatLAF Look&Feel is available on all platforms. For example, if you prefer a dark theme on your Mac, simply start w2x-app as follows:

w2x-app -putpref lookAndFeelClassName com.formdev.flatlaf.themes.FlatMacDarkLaf

As explained above, this setting is done once for all. No need to specify -putpref lookAndFeelClassName LAF_class_name after that.

Description	`Value of` `LAF_class_name`
FlatLaf Light	`com.formdev.flatlaf.FlatLightLaf`
FlatLaf Dark	`com.formdev.flatlaf.FlatDarkLaf`
FlatLaf IntelliJ (based on FlatLaf Light)	`com.formdev.flatlaf.FlatIntelliJLaf`
FlatLaf Darcula (based on FlatLaf Dark)	`com.formdev.flatlaf.FlatDarculaLaf`
FlatLaf macOS Light	`com.formdev.flatlaf.themes.FlatMacLightLaf`
FlatLaf macOS Dark	`com.formdev.flatlaf.themes.FlatMacDarkLaf`
“System” Look & Feel	`fallback`
Default Look & Feel	`default`

^[1]Alternatively, type the following command in a command prompt and then press Enter:

C:\> w2x-1_12_0\bin\w2x-app-c.bat

Use w2x-app-c.bat on Windows , but only when you need to start w2x-app with a console. On Windows, a console is needed to be able to see low-level error messages.
