Font size for window caption is inconsistent

from WinCustomize Forums
Can someone please tell me why the text for the window caption bar when my skin is running is sometimes not the same as it looks in Skin Studio?

The problem I'm getting is that I specify a font size of 11 points in SS, and the preview window shows the text how I want it to appear. But when I run the skin probably 60-70% of the time the font is in a larger size and so is not correct.

Why is this?

How can I fix it?

Thanx

In windowblinds configuration there is an override setting for font sizes. Check to see what you have that setting at.

HI NightTrain2002

Thanx for the reply!

Had a look at the font settings - they are "to leave fonts the default size" and "leave skin fonts alone". "Disable font special effects on controls" is not checked.

So something else is happening. Sometimes the font is the size I set in SS, sometimes it seems wider. And that seems to happen at random.
Also I am applying a blurred-shadow effect to the titlebar font and it looks different in SS to when WB is applying the skin.

Any ideas?

http://skins.skinartistry.com/news.php I invite you to go here and upload the skin. Experienced skinners will be able to help you find the problem in no time. I think I need to look at the skin in SKS to find the solution. Normally it is an easy fix. The people at the workshop are very friendly and helpful.
