			<help>&lt;i&gt;INIshell&lt;/i&gt; stores a couple of settings in a settings file called &lt;code&gt;inishell_config.xml&lt;/code&gt;. Depending on your setup, it can be found in a number of different locations. For example, on GNU/Linux it may be located in &lt;code&gt;/home/myuser/.config/SLF/INIshell&lt;/code&gt;. The exact location can be found in the settings window or through the command line (&lt;code&gt;./inishell --print_settings_location&lt;/code&gt;). If something gets stuck you can try to delete this file, it will be recreated the next time you close &lt;i&gt;INIshell&lt;/i&gt;.</help>

			<help>The exact way &lt;i&gt;INIshell&lt;/i&gt; looks like may be chosen by your operating system. If you are experiencing glitches such as striked through captions, button size differences, or misaligned elements this is likely the culprit. Have a look at this &lt;a href=&quot;https://models.slf.ch/p/inishell-ng/page/Screenshots/&quot;&gt;help page with screenshots&lt;/a&gt; to see what &lt;i&gt;INIshell&lt;/i&gt; is supposed to look like.</help>

			<help>If you are not happy you can try starting &lt;i&gt;INIshell&lt;/i&gt; with a different style by either setting it in your operating system's tools for this, or by starting it via for example&lt;br&gt;&lt;code&gt;./inishell --set_style Windows&lt;/code&gt;&lt;br&gt; You can use the command line to print a list of available styles (&lt;code&gt;./inishell --print_styles&lt;/code&gt;). On GNU/Linux you can try setting a style in the &lt;i&gt;Gnome Tweaks&lt;/i&gt; if available, or you can install the Qt5 styles:&lt;br&gt;&lt;code&gt;sudo apt install qt5ct&lt;br&gt;export QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME="qt5ct"&lt;/code&gt; (put this in your &lt;i&gt;.profile&lt;/i&gt;)&lt;br&gt;&lt;code&gt;qt5ct&lt;/code&gt; (then log out and back in)</help>
