Windowblinds not looking right in Start Menu
Something is amiss
Tuesday, March 15, 2005 by Brock Beesley | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
For a little while now, Windowblinds has not been looking right in my start menu. The user icon doesn't line up with where it should be within the skin. Plus, I have words that are appearing that shouldn't be there (E.g "programs appears to the left of "All programs"). I'd post a S.S. of my situation but I don't know how to do that here in this post.

Phoon,
You were right on the money. I did have it set to 120 DPI and when I switched it to 96, everything was ok. NOw the only problem is that my default font size is so stinking small, I can't read it. Is there any way to keep the DPI setting at 96 and yet have the default font size larger (without having to change my 1920x1200 screen resolution)?

Phoon,
Never mind. I figured it out by going to the "Appearance" tab when looking at the Display Properties. It gives me the option of changing the font size. The only problem is that when I adjust it from "Normal" to make it larger (and readable) it throws off the "programs" portion of the start menu. However, the user icon portion and all the others seem to be ok. Anyway, thanks for your help.

In the WindowBlinds Config (Display Properties> Appearance> WindowBlinds> User Overrides) You can set the Font size. Make 10% bigger works great!!!

Navigate to your display properties, go to settings and click on the advanced button. Your DPI setting should be set to Normal Size (96 DPI) as most all windowblinds are made for this setting.
