 Environment variables can be added to the command line as usual, or via a .env file which is parsed with [dotenv](https://github.com/motdotla/dotenv). Both methods have the same effect.
 
-Environment variables that are to be added to the default query string are prefixed with `WSQS_` and then use the same key/value pairs generated by the [Permalink](#sharing-a-permalink-bookmarking) above, with the `- (dash)` character replaced by an `_ (underscore)`. For example, if you wanted to turn the travel forecast on, you would find `travel-checkbox=true` in the permalink, its matching environment variable becomes `WSQS_travel_checkbox=true`.

+- Standard: Classic 4:3 display with the classic (not enhanced, below) screen layouts.
+- Widescreen: Stretches the background to 16:9 to avoid "pillarboxing" on modern displays
+- Widescreen Enhanced: Stretches as above, and makes use of the additional space to provide wider maps, more weather data and/or additional days in the forecast
+- Portrait Enhanced: (in progress) Rotates the screen to a 16:9 portrait orientation and enhances the original displays by adjusting them to fit the new orientation.

 **Kiosk:** Immediately activates kiosk mode, which hides all settings. Exit by refreshing the page or using `Ctrl-K`. (Kiosk mode is similar to clicking the "Fullscreen" icon, but scales to the current browser viewport instead of activating the browser's actual "Fullscreen" mode.)
