How to use
After installation, launch the ZwiftPref app.
prefs.xml is loaded into the app when it starts and when you press the ‘Reload’ button.
Change settings as you like and press ‘Save’ to have the changes written back to prefs.xml. The changes will then apply the next time you start Zwift.
If you close/quit the app without pressing ‘Save’ nothing is changed in prefs.xml
