Changing Fonts?
Sunday, May 25, 2008 by Mooneybeams | Discussion: WindowBlinds
Well - now that I have had a day to play with the wonder that is WindowBlinds, I've come up with another question!
I found a font that I liked and thought it looked 'dragony' and might therefore go nicely with the dragon theme that I was using, so I went into WB and clicked on 'fonts' and then clicked 'use Speedball No1' and applied changes. The font changed on title bars etc, but nowhere else (I've tried uploading a screenshot but I put the image URL from photobucket in and click OK and nothing happens - the box just stays there with the URL in it and doesn't add the picture).
Then I downloaded another theme - Laguna Ice - and when I changed the font to one called pneumatics (in the same way as I did for dragon) it changed all the fonts everywhere (i.e. in the start menu, in windows, in all the folders etc) and I prefer it this way.
Is it possible to do the same thing with the dragon theme?

Is anyone able to suggest anything.
I notice that that my post has a 'referral'. Is that bad? What did I do wrong?

Sorry Bebi - your reply didn't show until I posted again, for some reason!
Yes, I did select that systemwide option (although I can't double double check as it's my home computer with WB and I'm at work) and then select the font from that list. I was sort of suprised that it hadn't changed it!
I'm still worried about this referral thing, though. I hope I haven't upset anyone or done anything wrong and if I have I'm truly sorry - just very inexperienced at this whole thing!

A referral just means that someone linked to this post. Clicking on the referral link will show you who did the linking. (In this case it looks somewhat "off") And the formatting looks borked . . but that's a site issue.Please login to comment and/or vote for this skin.
