## Resolution
|

## Installation instructions
|
||||
|
||||
`cabal run exe:MetaBrush` will build and launch the application.
|
||||
|
||||
You will need certain C libraries to be installed on your system and recognised
|
||||
by `pkg-config`. See the [Install guide](installation_notes.md) for more information, or use the provided `shell.nix` Nix file (NB: not necessarily up-to-date).
|
||||
|
||||
## Tips and tricks
|
||||
|
||||
### Change UI size
|
||||
|
||||
To increase or decrease the size of the UI, set the `GDK_SCALE` environment
|
||||
variable. The current default is `setenv GDK_SCALE=2`.
|
||||
|
||||
### Theming
|
||||
|
||||
You can customise the theme by editing `theme.css`.
|
||||
There isn't (yet) a way to switch between themes in the UI; you will need to
|
||||
relaunch the application for changes to take effect.
