Reg. Hack to Disable Clear Type

cakek · #1 (**permalink**) 03-05-2009, 06:57 AM

Anyone know of a reg hack to disable Clear Type from staying on when I turn my phone on every morning? I know you can uncheck Clear Type in the screen settings, but when I turn my phone off for the night and then turn it back on in the morning, Clear type is back on. I have searched the forum, but cannot find a topic on this. Thanks in advance.

Try this...

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GDI\ClearTypeSettings]
"OffOnRotation"=1
Change "OffOnRotation" to equal 1 for the hack.

Cleartype On = 0
Cleartype Off = 1

... I think

Actually, fastevo was right, but there needs to be an additional key of NativeOrientation set to 180.

I made a cab file that will do it for you. Wait ~20 seconds and soft reset after. It does work, I tested it.

I'm curious as to why you want it disabled.

Adrynalyne, sorry guy, not what I wanted. Yes, it disables, but it disable it "on". I would like for it to be disabled "off".

WdGldDave, just my preference. I don't like looking at a "muddy" screen with text that looks like it is smeared. I like the sharp look of no cleartype. Sorry guys, just never liked it.

It disables it off.

I know this, because when I run it, I get this ugly jagged crap, vs. when I re-enable it.
