Troubleshooting

Settings-Window has scaling issues

Check if the application has the permission to scale the window. This should only be a problem on linux.
Flickering DMX output

If the DMX output flickers, try to increase the break time. This can happen if the DMX-Interface is not able to handle the data rate.

If multiple senders are sending data to the same universe, the data might interfere. Try to set the controller option to a specific sender.
Anything else?

Please open an issue if you encounter any other problems.

Permission Issues on linux

As mentioned in #3 here, the program lacks permission for resizing and other stuff, which leads to flickering.

A simple hack to avoid this, is to run the application as root, but this is obviously not great.
