LOST correct symbols for planets & comets

Post by Khieriel »

Ignorantly I clicked the Apply Changes button in Preferences/Styles when I would change a color for the planets & comets (asteroids). I didn't notice for example that Saturn changed to a red triangle, and Jupiter had changed to a j.
From Time machine I restored previous Kairon app, and previous def.kair, but nothing changed. I still have a mess of meaningless symbols.
Is there a Default return to normal? I saw Revert, but nothing happened.
I have Kairon 3.6 installed also on my laptop (though it's a Trial version). I made the color changes correctly (with the correct Apply button). Can I copy it over to my desktop. Of course I need to keep my Paid status.

Failing to change ANYTHING by reinstalling the Kairon, and by transferring Kairon Preferences from my other computer, but nothing brought back the original glyphs.
However, I persisted back in the scene of the loss--Styles in Preferences. By clicking on an Element, then on the "offending" Applying Changes, and the correct symbol for Saturn, Jupiter, etc.!
So ONLY use Applying Changes for the elements![/i]

there is a very exact tutorial about this and if you follow it exactly you don't mess up: the trick is to select a font first in the glyphs box, as described in the tutorial.
you can go back to the old preferences by deleting the Kairon folder in ~/Library/Application Support/
(if you have items you intend to keep, move them out from there, first)
