DesktopX or WB and "Clear type"

Thursday, June 3, 2004 by Nytestorm | Discussion: Stardock Software

Hello everyone,
I didn't find anything about this, so I thought I'd post. I love running DesktopX, along with WB and so on. However, at work, I have an LCD monitor and like using the Cler type font. When I try to right-click, the menus are unreadable, both for desktopx and windows. Has anyone else seen this, and/or know of a fix?

Thanks

I use Cleartype on an LCD (for which it is mainly intended to be used on in fact) and haven't noticed a problem with right click menus. It sounds more like you are using skins that just don't work for you. If that isn't the case I am not sure where the conflict comes from. But cleartype I don't believe is conflicting with DX or WB.

I believe it only happens with certain skins. I cannot recall which ones, but I have noticed this also. I would not say they are unreadable, but darn close. I am not an expert at building skins, but my assumption is there is a setting in a skin that can effect the output of clear type. My suggestion is try another skin, that worked for me.
