 A color command with no argument reverts to the default value. `^^` represents a single `^` character. Status commands can be disabled with `-no-status-commands`.
 
+## Scaling
+If you use scaling in Wayland, you can specify `buffer_scale` through config file or by passing it as an option (only integer values):
+```bash
+dwlb -scale 2
+```
+This will render both surface and a cursor with 2x detail. If your monitor is set to 1.25 or 1.5 scaling, setting scale to 2 will also work as compositor will downscale the buffer properly.
+
 ## Other Options
 Run `dwlb -h` for a full list of options.
