large fonts with windowblinds
help
Saturday, October 21, 2006 by christof chang | Discussion: WindowBlinds
I have had windowblinds for a couple of years and it worked fine on my old
pc but on my new one, after installing windows blinds its made all the fonts
in certain dialog boxes and applications really large and bold so they kind
of bust out of the boxes they are in (very annoying and looks pants!). And
even after uninstalling windowsblinds the problem still remains, and the
font size setting in display settings does nothing at all now. Its like
windowblinds has over written something in the OS. Has anyone else got this
problem or had this problem?

What version of Windows do you run?
What version of WB do you use?
Which WB skins seemed to have caused this issue?

Been away sorry, thanks for your replies... I have the font issue no matter what skin I choose, I'd post you a picture but I havent got anywhere to host the image. I'm on windows XP version 2002 sp2, and windowblinds 5.1. It's really annoying, wouldn't be so bad if I could uninistall at the fonts would go back, doesn't change when I unload windowblinds either. Any ideas??

Your files are mixed.
Did you have the trial version 1st? did you uninstall/reboot prior to installing paid?
Did you use the SDC manager or download as a stand a lone?

I didn't use the SDC manager to download windowblinds. I followed the link off the e-mail stardock sent me with my codes on. This computer was fresh and new so it never had a copy of windowblinds on it before I downloaded the full version.
The thing that really bugs me is that even when I do uninstall the fonts are still huge. Any ideas??
