Change Start Menu/Desktop/address bar font size

from Stardock Forums
Hello,

WB 6.01 registered / XP Pro SP 2 / SkinStudio 6 free

I have been struggling with the well known override issue in WB that
resets system font settings;

All system fonts get reset to 6 pixels, and the skin I'm using (Adamant/
StartDock Design) or WB does not allow for global font resizing for
the following fonts:

(Desktop) Icon
Menu item fonts
Address bar
Text bar
Message box
Text in Tabs in IE 7

If they would not be reset I really would have a perfect UI. Now, it is
completely unusable.

How can these be resized without creating a huge mess? I wouldn't mind
editing the registry or a ini file or going into SkinStudio. I actually
was able to modify the menu item fonts but WB does not allow for automatic
resizing/comp of the container so the whole menu becomes unusable.

I would suggest to WB development that they really include a setting that
allows for global font disregarding/override.

The suggestions provided in various replies do not work or are not
applicable.

I hope that you can point me to the font settings or a mod to take the
mentioned fonts in global resizing.

Thanks a lot in advance,

Marinus.

Hello,

you bumped my question; do you have the same problem or did you add the referrals?

There were some referrals but they do not address the issue as they show how to change these
settings in Windows as we all know; the problem is that WB resets all this.
It would be nice to adjust it from within WB or the skin software so that the font sizes in question are also pre-set correctly and don't get reset to 6px.
An explanation of how to add these fonts if they are not pre-defined in the skin would be great.
Or is that only possible through the professional skin program?
