Resetting things
« on: 2016 December 08 17:50:54 »
I have been messing around with various screen settings and now I am at a point that I can't get things fixed or back to how they used to be.

I would like to reset the configuration,  back to its original state when I first started PI.  I am hoping there is a simple command that I can type in or click in ,  somewhere.  It would really help if I could get back to the beginning on things.

Thanks.

Hi,

You can reset each individual tool (process) by clicking on the icon in the bottom right corner of the tool and also under "Edit" ---> "Global Preferences" ---> "Load Default Page Settings" will reset a bunch of other settings.

Thanks for the nice reply.  It is really appreciated.  Just trying to learn PixInsight which I believe will be very good for me,  once I understand it a bit more.

What I was trying to do,, more specifically - was to move the little veritcal bars on the taskbar.  They separate the various functions and they are not where I want them.  Yes I can click on them and move them but I can't get rid of them.  That is waht I was really trying to do.   Get rid of them. 

Once before - I had the opportunity to reset the whole program by clickiing something.  This was when I first started with PixInsight.  It told me everything would be set back to original if I decided to go ahead.  I did that and was happy with what it gave me. 

Now  that is what I really wanted.  I CLICK something that would reset the whole program to its earliest begining.

Failing that,  I will continue to hunt down the various functions found in the task bar,  so I can either remove them  or move them to a different spot.

Thanks again..

Hi,

On the top menu line click "View" ---> "Show control bar" or Ctrl+Alt+B will turn the "Toolbar off/on".  Other handy display settings are "View" ---> "Full Screen" or "Full Desktop"
