+===== Question 19: How to prevent chat window rising in Cinnamon? =====
+Check Cinnamon's window manager settings. There is an option preventing focus stealing and it definitely work in version 4.2.4 of Cinnamon. You have earlier version the setting may absent or do not work.
+Essentially it looks like a Cinnamon bug since they rise a window even on methods supposed to just flash the task bar.
+===== Question 20: How to make Psi windows larger on high-resolution monitors? =====
-__**Answer**__: Use the **/S** switch for silent install and **/D=dir** for select installation directory. These options are case sensitive. Psi+ uses the [[http://nsis.sourceforge.net/|NSIS]] installer from Nullsoft.
+Qt6 has an environment variable that allows you to set a global window scaling parameter QT_SCALE_FACTOR.
+If you run Psi by setting the variable value to a number that means the scale, then all Psi windows will be larger by as many times as set in the parameter.
+For example, for Linux:
+QT_SCALE_FACTOR=2 psi
+and Psi windows will be 2 times larger
+For Windows:
+set QT_SCALE_FACTOR=2 && psi.exe
