DisplayHelp 0.5.2 resets saved display settings while preserving ColorSync profile files. It also includes an expanded illustrated guide and ready-to-use Custom Fixes examples.

Fixed

  • Reset Display Preferences no longer deletes display ColorSync profile folders.
  • The reset still clears system-wide and per-user WindowServer display settings and restarts the display session. Everyone is logged out; save work before running it.
  • The confirmation explains that ColorSync profiles are preserved. Older installers retain the previous behavior; update before resetting a calibrated system.

Documentation and Custom Fixes

  • The README now contains the full public how-to guide, with 24 UI screenshots next to the relevant instructions.
  • Word and PDF guides include profile workflows, device mapping, troubleshooting, and Custom Fixes installation, confirmation and results.
  • The optional Custom Fixes archive includes a harmless setup demo, Restart Dock, and installation instructions. Scripts run locally; no upload is required.
  • Existing profiles and settings remain compatible. macOS 14 or later; Apple Silicon and Intel.

Downloads

  • DisplayHelp-0.5.2.pkg: universal installer, build 85, Developer ID signed and notarized by Apple.
  • DisplayHelp-0.5.2-User-Guide.docx and .pdf: public user guide.
  • DisplayHelp-0.5.2-Custom-Fixes.zip: optional scripts and installation README.
  • SHA256SUMS.txt: checksums for the installer, guides and script archive.

Validation

  • Universal build, app and installer signature verification, Apple notarization, ticket stapling and Gatekeeper assessment passed.
  • Verified that the installer contains the tested reset and its updated warning. The live warning was inspected and cancelled; the destructive reset was not run on the host Mac.
  • The harmless custom-fix demo ran successfully in DisplayHelp. Restart Dock was syntax-checked but not executed.
  • The public guides were rendered in Word and checked; all local documentation links passed validation. Older screenshots remain representative of unchanged controls, with the reset warning updated for 0.5.2.
