Feature request: Restore defaults
Closed this issue · 3 comments
It would be really awesome if the program had an option to restore the default settings in case you didn't like the changes at all.
There already is a Restore Defaults button, but at your prompting I have looked more deeply into what the defaults actually are supposed to be, and it looks like the button is a little bit wrong in this release. It sets the contrast to 1200, but true default on a clean win10 system is 0 which is actually out of the valid range of inputs. Microsoft's documentation suggests the default is 1900 but I've never seen that in reality.
ANYWAY, the next release of this tool should have updated default behavior, and I'll move the Restore Defaults button up to make it harder to miss. In the meantime, to get "true defaults", you can do it through the registry editor.
In HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop, set:
FontSmoothing = 2
FontSmoothingGamma = 0
FontSmoothingOrientation = 1
FontSmoothingType = 2
Delete all of the subfolders in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Avalon.Graphics (subfolders are typically named DISPLAY1, DISPLAY2, etc)
If HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Avalon.Graphics exists, delete all of its subfolders just the same as before.
Following those steps and rebooting will get the system back to how a fresh windows install normally is.
Alright, the Restore Defaults button has been improved and moved up in Version 1.2, just released.
Thank you
