How do I reset my desktop settings?

Move a settings file aside so CrownOS recreates it with default values.

Updated

Every settings section is a RON file in ~/.config/crownos/. When a file is missing, CrownOS writes a fresh one with default values, so resetting a section means moving its file out of the way.

Reset one section

To reset only the look of the desktop, move appearance.ron aside:

mv ~/.config/crownos/appearance.ron ~/.config/crownos/appearance.ron.bak

Open Settings → Appearance or sign out and back in. The file is recreated with defaults.

Reset everything

mv ~/.config/crownos ~/.config/crownos.bak

Sign out and back in to start with a default desktop.

Restore a backup

Move the backup back over the new file:

mv ~/.config/crownos/appearance.ron.bak ~/.config/crownos/appearance.ron
