left margin and select the appropriate package for your operating
system.

[[CONFIG]] 
== Settings

Select *Settings* from the *File* menu or by typing *F2*.  (On
Macintosh select *Preferences* from the _WSJT-X_ menu, or use the
keyboard shortcut *Cmd+,*).  The following sections describe setup
options available on eight tabs selectable near the top of the window.

[[DARK_STYLE]]
=== Dark Style

An optional *Dark* style is available.  To make it effective you will
probably want to redefine your color settings.  In Windows or Linux,
start the program from a command-prompt window using the following
command, or modify the _WSJT-X_ desktop shortcut accordingly:

 wsjtx --stylesheet :/qdarkstyle/style.qss

In macOS, enter the following command from a terminal:

 open /Applications/wsjtx.app --args -stylesheet :/qdarkstyle/style.qss

Depending on your operating system, the main _WSJT-X_ window will look
something like this:

[[TUTORIAL]]
== Basic Operating Tutorial

This section introduces the basic user controls and program behavior
of _WSJT-X_, with particular emphasis on the JT9, JT65, and FT8 modes.
We suggest that new users should go through the full HF-oriented
tutorial, preferably while at your radio.  Note that as of late 2018,
digital usage on the HF bands has mostly moved from JT65 and JT9 to FT8.  So
you may wish to pay particular attention to *FT8*, in Section 6.6.

Subsequent sections cover additional details on <<MAKE_QSOS,Making
QSOs>>, <<WSPR,WSPR mode>> and <<VHF_AND_UP,VHF+ Features>>.
