Hello, how do you reset Bear’s settings/preferences on Mac OS?
Uninstalling alone does not do this, neither does removing the Bear directory under ‘Group Containers’. I also tried deleting a Bear plist under SyncedPreferences.
You can delete this file with Bear closed ~/Library/Group Containers/9K33E3U3T4.net.shinyfrog.bear/Library/Preferences/9K33E3U3T4.net.shinyfrog.bear.plist
That doesn’t seem to be working as I expect here:
Should it be going back to the default theme when this directory is removed?
I’m not sure what meant with settings/preferences. Do you want to delete the whole Bear’s data? If this is the case you can remove this folder
~/Library/Group Containers/9K33E3U3T4.net.shinyfrog.bear
I mean anything that would change from a fresh install under ‘Preferences’:
So anything under these 5 categories:
Removing the directory ~/Library/Group Containers/9K33E3U3T4.net.shinyfrog.bear does not, for instance return from my previously selected theme ‘Academia’, to the default of ‘Red Graphite’, but I would expect it to.
Ok, if you delete also
~/Library/Containers/net.shinyfrog.bear/Data/Library/Preferences/net.shinyfrog.bear.plist
Do you you get what you are trying to achieve or something is still missing?

Hello folks,
macOS caches preferences so even if you delete the file, the result won’t be immediate. You can reboot to reset the cache or use the proper terminal command for deleting the preferences: defaults delete net.shinyfrog.bear

Thanks for the replies, I will try those both next time, I ended up just doing a find . -name "*shinyfrog*" inside of ~/Library and deleted all the shinyfrog directories. That did it.
