## FAQ
Frequently asked questions:
- Q: Why is the map black when loading for the first time?
- A. You must obtain a free API key from either (or both) [MapTiler](https://cloud.maptiler.com/auth/widget?next=https://cloud.maptiler.com/maps/) which currently does not require a credit/debit card, or [Mapbox](https://account.mapbox.com/) which ***does*** require a credit/debit card, but as of writing, you will receive 200K free requests per month, which should be sufficient for an individual user.
- Q: Why is it that when I change my color table, API key, grid width/height settings, nothing happens after hitting apply?
- A. As of right now, you must restart Supercell Wx in order to apply these changes. In future iterations, this will no longer be an issue.
- Q. Is it possible to get dark mode?
- A. In Windows, make sure to set the flag `-style fusion` at the end of the target path of the .exe
- Example: `C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\Supercell-Wx\bin\supercell-wx.exe -style fusion`
- A. In Linux, if you're using KDE, Supercell Wx should automatically follow your theme settings.
