Using skin studio to modify taskbar
Wednesday, September 10, 2003 by eznoh | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
I'm trying to increase the font size of the program names that appear across the taskbar. Using Skinstudio, I changed the font sizes on Desktop->Taskbar->Taskbar Button->Taskbar Button Horizontal but nothing changed. WB4.1/Win2K

I've tried that. It changes the font in the preview pane the font changes but when I save it and load it, the old fonts remain.

click on my username agin. I downloaded the skin. edited the taskbar button fonts and I had no problem. I changed the font to duchess font, size 16. If you're doing everything that koasati and I have suggested, then I just don't know what more to tell you.

Yeah, that's what I want it to look like. Oh well, thanks for your help. It's a long shot but if you're into reggae music, check my site (niceup.com) and let me know if I can make you a CD or two.

wait eznoh. Just one more thought. Are you sure you're trying to edit the normal font as opposed to focused or pressed?
And thank you, actually I do like reggae. Ill visit you site soon. But no need to make me a cd, I was glad to help. Just wish you could have gotten the result you wanted.

You need to edit ALL of the font settings for the taskbar button. This may be why you're not seeing any change.

No koasati. I only edited the normal font and left the rest alone. and the change took effect with no problem. look at the screenshot in my profile. The mouse over and pressed remained as fuzzy logic set them.

Crissy: I think the problem might be WB 4.1 on Win2K. I just tried your Percale skin, it looked like the screenshot except for the taskbar buttons which were small and unreadable like "HotOne". It doesn't happen on all skins but quite a few.

Just to follow up on this ... someone on the Stardock newsgroup suggested the following:
Using Skin Studio, edit:
Miscellaneous
Presets
Font Presets
00 Font
It worked!
Crissy: Just to let you know, I modified "Percale". Thanks again, send me your mailing address ([email protected]) and I'll send you a reggae sampler CD.

When you click "Add new font" you are taken to the Fonts Presets.. there you set up a new font preset. In the case of this skin HotOne, this new font will be #7 you will decide what font, and what size, etc.... be sure to save those changes. Go back to the taskbar setting and confirm the font has changed to #7. YOu might want to change the other font settings also. Save and apply.
Let us know if that helps.
