Can't change font on Classic title bars

Friday, March 31, 2023 by AeroPurple | Discussion: SkinStudio


Every new skin that I make uses Times New Roman for the Classic Titlebar font. I might know what caused it, but how do I change it?

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. May I know how do I get to "Classic Titlebar"?

Thanks

The program I'm using here is the Nokia Internal Tune Editor, where dragging any of the child windows makes them lose their custom titlebars in favor of the classic titlebars, as shown in the picture.

Telegram also sometimes glitches out (if not using the "system frame" setting) and displays the classic titlebar:

None of my other themes are affected, only new themes made through SkinStudio.

And also, quite a lot of elements in FireFox are also stuck in Times New Roman, like the start page and the downloads pop-up

I don't know for sure but there are 2 places I would look:

Could also be "Toolwindows", showing in my first picture, right underneath the "Window frames" category header.

Changing the titlebar font only works on skinned titlebars, and it is separate from classic titlebars.
My current skinned titlebar font is Segoe UI, which looks like this:

Have you looked at the System Fonts?

Ok, let me ask. By CLASSIC, do you mean the standard OS titlebars?

If so, running the default skin in Windowblinds effectively "turns off" windowblinds and therefore font changes would have no effect.  This would be normal and expected.

 

If I'm wrong on what you mean by classic, then tell me to shut up....lol.

This I can not reproduce. Here is my Firefox New tab page.

Thank you,

I ran the default skin in WindowBlinds (which needed a logout and a login to properly go into effect) and the font is still there. I found a way to change the font using the Classic Color Settings, which did fix it for the time being, but any time a new theme is applied, it reverts to Times New Roman.


Fixed (focus on the bottom right corner)


Reapplied (focus on the bottom)

How do I even fix it at this point?

By definition, you cannot change, alter or manipulate the default skin in WindowBlinds. It IS the actual OS theme.

It might be helpful to expand on that.

What were the other themes created with, are you using an additional skinning program?

Ok, that program was in fact what was causing it. I uninstalled it and my fonts are back to normal

I apologize for all of this back-and-forth that I caused.

It was the Simple Classic Theme by the way

Glad you got it untangled.  It was certainly odd.
