Style Configurator: no way to revert the theme back to default (no instructions or default button) #884

Description

@TomPi-22

Issue Description

There is no documented way to revert any customized themes back to the default settings in the Style Configurator. There's also no "reset" or "revert to default" button in the window. Changes to Default (stylers.xml) must be reverted manually by the user.

What I Tried

Import Style Theme

I tried using Settings > Import > Import style themes with stylers.model.xml from the main repo, expecting it to restore the default. This did not resolve the issue. There was no error but there were no changes to the theme.

Manual file replacement (this worked)

  1. Downloaded stylers.model.xml from the repo
  2. Renamed it to stylers.xml
  3. Replaced the file at %AppData%\Notepad++\stylers.xml
  4. Closed Notepad++, verified no Notepad++ processes were running on Task Manager, and relaunched

This reset the theme back to the default settings.

Suggested Fix

Add a note to the Style Configurator or Themes section within the documentation that briefly explains this process as it is not obvious and/or mentioned in the documentation or community forum.
