Suggestion for an improved WB

April 8, 2008 3:43:24 PM from WinCustomize ForumsWinCustomize Forums
Anyone here think that it would be beneficial for WindowBlinds to add a "Change Font Colour" to Look & Feel>Fonts section? Personally, I think a lot of nice dark skins are unusable without this function. And yeah, I understand some fonts cannot change colour -but most, in fact, do change. So, I would like to petition Stardock to include in future releases to include a "Change font colour" into the Look & Feel>Font section of WB. Let me know what you guys think...

A nifty feature for anyone willing to tweak...instead of bugging the skinner.

I would like to chip in my full support of this suggestion. I have not found a single usable dark theme due to the lack of colour changing support when it comes to fonts - some fonts need to be tweaked to a lighter colour to show on dark dialog backgrounds while others are fine as they are to show against light windows explorer backgrounds, so it would be great if future releases of WB could include per-font colour changes!

These are not font you can change by going into properties. The suggestion is for the fonts you CAN NOT change at all. I've been asking this for about four years, I hope some day it will be implemented.

You can actually change fonts and colors in SkinStudio if you're willing to poke around in there. I modify skins all the time for my own use.

Again- it's just a suggestion for WB...you know, to make it better. Not everyone using wb's knows how to use skin studio. IN FACT, most people either don't know or don't want to know how to tweak things in skin studio -that's why this is a suggestion to Stardock who seem to be trying to IMPROVE the WB experience.
