Fonts
Thursday, March 27, 2008 by jb7166 | Discussion: Stardock Support General
Hello there! I have a curious issue, tho I don't know if this is actually something wrong.
When I change my fonts (I have WB 6.02), it doesnt seem to change the fonts of the programs listed in the Start Menu, or anything on my desktop, or anything in my Firefox menues (like my Bookmarks list) - they all seem to never change no matter which font I try to apply. The taskbar, clock, and everything else will change; but my Start menu list and such do not change.
Am I missing something? Should I post screenshots to better illustrate what I am describing? (My apologies, I don't believe I am describing this issue very well.)

Hello there! And thank you for your quick reply! 
I have tried both suggestions, but they did not seem to take effect on the Program list in my Start Menu, or alter any fonts in my Firefox menus.
I can post screenshots, if it will better explain the areas I am referring to.
Everywhere else seems to be able to change except those areas.
I just wasnt sure if I was doing anything wrong, or if perhaps this was the case for everyone. I can live with it as it is, but it would be cool to have all the fonts change everywhere.

I've had that problem too, my biggest pet peeve is the font in explorer not changing (I HATE stupid plain default Tahoma!!!). The fix I've found is to go into the desktop properties > appearance > advanced > other advanced controls > select Icon from the dropbox and change it to whatever font you want.

You can also click on 'You can change system fonts and other fonts defined in a skin by clicking here' and that gives you access to other areas where the font can be changed.
