This plugin seems to have screwed up my editor font size settings.

Tell us what you need help with.
Steps to replicate.

1. Install the sliders plugin.
2. enable the plugin by doing ctrl+shift+p
3. uninstall the plugin

Now the enlarged font size is still enabled and i cannot get it back to normal. When i reinstall again and enable it, it goes even bigger. HELP.......... :(

[geekymon2]

Nothing seems to be affecting the font size, where is this setting stored? i have removed the Code config, removed the usersettings everything it doesn't go back to normal even tried reinstalling vscode flatpak and seems to be affecting that as well.

Hey @geekymon2 👋

Sorry for the inconvenience. The extension changes VSCode settings on the project where it's activated, then restore the original settings when deactivated.

If you're stuck with the "presentation mode" settings, you can restore it manually. The configuration is stored in a .vscode/settings.json, under the project root folder where it was activated. If you delete this file, you'll get your default settings back.

Re-installing VS Code won't change anything since it will continue to pick up the .vscode/settings.json file that's present in the project.

Can you check if it's here, delete it and let me know if that worked?

Thanks, yeah I figured this out later yesterday. And got it sorted. Should those settings be removed by the extension if the extension is uninstalled? Or alternatively wouldn't it be better to have them in the user settings rather then project settings?

I was struggling to find it initially because I was looking in user settings

The advantage of doing it "per project" is that it would only impact the project that is being presented. Applying it at the user level would impact all projects, with could be undesired I think.

Should those settings be removed by the extension if the extension is uninstalled?

That would be a great thing indeed! I didn't think about the scenario of uninstalling the extension. I don't know if an extension can execute some code on uninstall, I'd check this out.

If it can't, I would add an explanation in the README (e.g. some "Known issue" section) to help those who would get into this.

Great thanks
