Changing Windoblinds fonts
Sunday, March 18, 2007 by str1d3rz3r0 | Discussion: WindowBlinds
I recently reinstalled my WB5 that i bought,but there is a new layout and I cant seem to be able to change my fonts through WB. I would like to know if the is still possible, if so how and if not, how do I make all fonts the same

This changes the fonts on the task bar but does nothing to those in Windows Explorer. Correct? I often can't handle the extremely small size of fonts in Explorer that many WBs install and change them using SkinStudio. This has been a long process of learning how to reverse engineer the skins and I am not really sure if I am doing things the easiest way.
I open the WB icon and click on Edit in SkinStudio. When SS opens I click on Miscellaneous in the left hand side box and then on Fonts for Classic Widgets. In the center box I click on Code. I then go down the lines of code and change the various FontHeights to the size that I want. Remember to leave the negative (-) sign that is there. Not all the changes deal with Explorer and I wish there was some easy way to know what each font is attached to without trial and error. Lots of errors.
I then save the file (File/Save As) with a slightly different name than the original. Finaly I install the new WB and check to see if I got things right.
Recently I have been experimenting with types of fonts and their colors in the Start Panel with lots of hassles. I can't seem to isolate just those fonts without also affecting others elsewhere. Maybe it is just the blinds I am playing with. If nothing else I am gaining an ever great respect for the creators of these blinds as I go through all the different parts of them. Like an onion there are layers upon layers throughout the windows and many of them have a seemingly endless list of possible options on how they may be presented. The entire program begs for a detailed manual. It probably wouldn't be a best seller but I bet those who wanted it would gladly pay the asking cost.
