+ \section1 For \macos Users
+
+ \QC uses standard names and locations for standard features, such as
+ \e options or \e preferences. In this manual, the names and locations on
+ Windows and Linux are usually used to keep the instructions short. Here are
+ some places to check if you cannot find a function, dialog, or keyboard
+ shortcut on \macos when following the instructions:
+
+ \table
+ \header
+ \li For
+ \li Look In
+ \row
+ \li \uicontrol Tools > \uicontrol Options
+ \li \uicontrol {\QC} > \uicontrol Preferences
+ \row
+ \li \uicontrol Help > \uicontrol {About Plugins}
+ \li \uicontrol {\QC} > \uicontrol {About Plugins}
+ \row
+ \li Keyboard shortcuts
+ \li \uicontrol {\QC} > \uicontrol Preferences > \uicontrol Environment >
+ \uicontrol Keyboard
+ \endtable
+
+ \section1 Switching UI Themes
+
+ Themes enable you to change the appearance of the UI from dark to light,
+ for example. To switch themes, select \uicontrol Tools > \uicontrol Options
+ > \uicontrol Environment, and then select a theme in the \uicontrol Theme
+ field.

+
+ \section1 Changing Languages
+
+ \QC has been localized into several languages. If the system language
+ is one of the supported languages, it is automatically selected. To
+ change the language, select \uicontrol Tools > \uicontrol Options >
+ \uicontrol Environment and select a language in the \uicontrol Language
+ field. Select \uicontrol {Restart Now} to restart \QC and have the change
+ take effect.
+
+ \section1 High DPI Scaling
+
+ The operating systems supported by \QC implement high dots-per-inch (DPI)
+ scaling at varying levels. Therefore, \QC handles high DPI scaling
+ differently on different operating system:
+
+ \list
+ \li On \macos, high DPI scaling is forced, which means that \QC allows
+ Qt to use the system scaling factor as the \QC scaling factor.
+ \li On Windows, if no \l{High DPI Support in Qt}
+ {scaling environment variables} are set, \QC instructs Qt to detect
+ the scaling factor and use it for \QC.
+ \li On Linux, \QC leaves it to the user to enable high DPI scaling,
+ because the process varies so much on different distributions
+ and windowing systems that it cannot be reliably done automatically.
+ \endlist
+
+ To override the default approach and always enable high-DPI scaling, select
+ \uicontrol Tools > \uicontrol Options > \uicontrol Environment >
+ \uicontrol {Enable high DPI scaling}. The changes will take effect after you
+ restart \QC.
