Changing Fonts in WindowBlinds3

from WinCustomize Forums
I absolutely love Alexandrie's "XP Nature" skin for WindowBlinds3. My only beef with it is the large, italicized font used for the taskbar items. So I went into the personality file to change them...

...And got completely lost. There are lots of font references, but I can't make heads or tails of them. Nor can I figure out how to add shadows to the text. Is the naming convention for fonts nailed down? Cause I don't get it...

I tried loading the file into SkinStudio (despite the warning) and all I could accomplish was corrupting the XP Taskbar and StartPanel stuff (I guess that stuff isn't supported yet in SS?).

Help.

Maybe this https://www.stardock.com/products/windowblinds/uis/ can help you.

Actually, no. It's outdated now with the intro of the new UIS3 (or whatever it's called) format.

But thanks nonetheless.

I believe UIS3 is not implemented yet. Brad said before it will be implemented in WB3.1 or something.

OK, I looked at her XP Jeans skin in order to try to answer your question, but I must admit I'm also at a lost. I was going to tell you to change the settings of the Font Preset used in the [Taskbar] section, but no, it doesn't match. On the other hand, there is a [XPTaskbar] section with a file link to a .xp file. I have no clue what a .xp file is. So... sorry, I tried but I'm lost too.

UIS3 may not be implemented yet, but it's obvious the inclusion of the XP-specific skinning has somehow changed how certain things (can) work in the (UIS2?) personality file. XP Jeans/Nature/Coppery all use code that isn't included in the tutorial for UIS2, as does Apartment and several other WindowBlinds3beta skins.
