It uses Beta versions of the plugins, if there should be any.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>You can switch between both versions as you like &#8211; each launcher has its own storage for plugins and writes its own logfiles. Only the characters are managed at the same place for both versions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The HiDPI variants are intended  for  users with a HiDPI display, where the application is auto-scaled by the operating system and too large. These variants disable auto-scaling in favor of  a fixed scaling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">In case of an error<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We are not  perfect and it will most likely happen that you run into bugs that we did not notice yet.
