Windows Explorer fonts
Friday, January 25, 2008 by Nicoll | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
Does anyone know where in the skin editor the settings are for the font size for windows explorer?
Is there any guide out there explaining exactly which fonts are adjusted with each font settings?
Thanks for your help.

GT, sorry to ask this but could you be more specific, I opened the file with skinStudio but how do I perform a search?? I tried "Find" but it found nothing!
After I do eventually find them do I just delete the extra lines?
Thanks again.

(SKS5) Misc > Fonts for classic widgets, try setting all those there to whatever font you want (I never mess with any ui files).
Other fonts: misc > presets > font presets. Some skinners helpfully name them according to where they're used, some don't really name them at all.

Those fonts are what the explorer see's and use's as it's system wide fonts.
But I have found that if you leave the fonts for these items in there...it will confuse the fonts used by the skin for like the start menu and some areas for like office and other programs the like. As seen here is the correct way so it does not confuse them...

This would be for Vista though. XP it really does not matter. The first settings would be the basic and the one to use.
