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 which reuqires no credit/debit card, or Mapbox which does require a credit/debit card, but as of writing, you will get 200K free requests per month, which you will never go over by yourself.

  • Q: How come when I change my color table or API key, 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, it should automatically follow your theme settings.
