WB5 font problems

October 13, 2005 7:25:09 PM from Stardock ForumsStardock Forums
I am having a problem with several WB5 skins. On several skins when I load them I get enormous fonts on the start menu, in Outlook Express. sometimes for the desktop icons as well. Primary Colors does it, as does Aura, but Arrow does not but it did under the first build. I am running 4.90d(.002.

 

Anyone else having font size problems.

Fire up the Windowblinds Configuration window and check out the "User Overrides" section. What options are selected under "Font overrides"? Also, which version of Windows are you running (including service packs)?

Leave fonts default size and leave skin fonts alone. Running Windows XP SP2, patched all the way up to current. Version on the Nvidia driver files is 6.14.10.5405. And I apologize for the second posting I seem to ahve lost this one in the shuffle.

Feel free to hit me with all the data requests you deem appropriate. Happy to answer, dig adn troubleshoot to help.

More information:

 

I installed 4.90f and the desktop icons no longer have the font problem. However the Start Panel does, Aura, Primary Colors, both the 5imple skins and Areo all exhibit this problem.

 

In addition I still have problem with painting the Taskbar when I apply a skin. I have to move the whole thing to horizontal and even then often have to apply a skin two or three times before the taskbar is painted correctly.

The only difference between 4.90f and 4.90d are file dates. There must be an intermittent problem if this seemed to resolve your issue. I would suggest uninstalling, rebooting, reinstalling, and rebooting.

If this does not resolve your issue, could you post a screenshot on a response of your Start Panel illustrating the font problem?

I followed the remove, reboot, reinstall idea and here is what I found. After reinstalling I discovered that under the Windows Classic the fonts were still huge.It was is if they had been reset in the registry at some point in time and this setting was what was making the fonts huge on WB5 skins. But as I said the WB 4.x skins all displayed correctly.  I applied the XP style, reset back to classic and the problem was gone.

 

Anyway after another reboot everything seems to be working fine now.

I tried as you described, in "clasic" the fonts are correct. Reload a WB5 skin, the oversized fonts return as before. I even took a look in SkinStudio to see if the font size had somehow changed on the "more programs" menu, but they are set to #8 as are in most other areas.
