Start menu fonts can't be changed.
As for the systray, that should work.
You need to create a font preset and assign it to the systray clock.

thanks fot the info on the start menu hippie. STILL cant get clock to change. Knew it was possible because i have seen it in other skins.(and it looks cool)I thought i saw a setting for default system type font but it might have just been for color.Am looking for it now.Will let you know if i find it.(Frustrating that skinstudio will let you specify fonts for the start menu but wont apply them.I noticed other skin authors have tried this too)opened up other skins and found the settings there but also no change on the start menu.Thanks for the skins hippie!

Got the clock! Had to set both normal AND normal(wb3x)Guess i will have to pay more attention to wb3x settings and make them match. QUUESTION:how long does a skin usually take to complete?This is my first and probably have 30 or 40 hours in it already.(tho nearly done with a lot of learning curve.)

Depends. Some people can take months, some weeks and some can do it in a matter of days.
