Reply to How do I set the font size for desktop Icons in skin studio? in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

[quote who="PapaBravo" reply="4" id="3743886"] Nope I already tried that it didn't work.[e digicons]v_v[/e] [/quote] Yes it does. There is some closing and opening that has to be done. You want full instructions you can do as I said in reply 3. I tell you how to change almost the entire WB fonts as far as system fonts. Tom or myself don't just post helping stuff just to post something. If we don't know we don't post any answer that doesn't work.

[quote who="LightStar" reply="2" id="3743876"] "Change skin fonts", in the dropdown select "Show me the skin defined system fonts". You can change the System Icon Font there. If that doesn't work though, I have no idea. [/quote] Tom that is correct. However if either of you want to PM me with your email address I will send you full instructions to change the icons and other text if you want along with an image to help show the locations to change.

[quote who="smith667" reply="9" id="3743805"] To extend this it seems you have to go to Edit titlebars and WindowFrames -- Edit per-pixel-frames -- Caption, and a ) edit the image b ) change the "sizing area size" in the "Extra Settings" tab [/quote] you are in the correct area. Actually you want to change the "OS Caption Height" Try somewhere between 26 and 30.

[quote who="smith667" reply="2" id="3743496"] Windows 10 "v 1803", says WINVER.

What I'm looking for is the name of the WB you are using. Is this a problem with any WindowBlind you apply?

[quote who="basj" reply="12" id="3743287"] I make a video of it. Hope it clear enough for you. [/quote] I don't see what you are seeing. I believe it's because my menu is being skinned like Win 7. I am using Oldnewexplorer which I believe you are not. A lot of things skin like win7 hence the menu I see re the popup menus. Have no other answer and believe what I said is corret. Thanks again however.

[quote who="basj" reply="10" id="3743276"] P/s forget to mentioned that you need to hover your mouse over that single taskbar button for that menu to show up [/quote] Thanks for the advice. However after opening 30 different things I had only the left TB button grouping and still had many open programs after it started to group. Since I have either never needed this menu or I have never had a problem I'm giving up. Maybe I have seen this menu bit never had a problem. Just do

What is the actual size of your start button. in px. Length/width. Also the size of your taskbar buttons. Also the SB should have 5 btns on it and Taskbar button should have 6 buttons on it. It shouldn't look like it shows on your image.

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="153" id="3742588"] One idea we've floated around with is a new skin format (UIS4) that is less powerful but also much easier to make skins for. Something that maximizes compatibility. The question then becomes, what are the key things people look for in a WindowBlinds skin.

Some WB's don't change color and using modify in Windowblind does nothing. However skins that change color you can change the Explorer windows using WindowBlind but the Startmenu search area will now change. I don't have Nightshane WB so can't try it to see if it modify colors works or not. The best solution is to open the WB in SKS. Go down to "Backgrounds"/Edit Explorer background bitmaps/Explorer backgrounds/Active window. Click on "Edit image" and it will open the image in w

[quote who="Phoon" reply="133" id="3742061"] I also don't understand the reasoning behind not caring if 3rd party apps are not able to be skinnned. [/quote] Here is my answer. Anyone that uses Microsoft Office will know why. In fact this applies to some non office programs but 3rd party ones. When making a WB. When making a WB especially a darker one. There is are background colors one can set and many do that is made darker because the majority of the skin is dark. You can'

Years ago you had new skins coming in on a daily basis with a few non freebies here and there. [/quote] I agree. However there were many people making WB's years ago. Now maybe 6 or so active now making WB's on a regular. As far as Oldnewexplorer. I'm not telling anyone to use it. Just saying as a skinner if you make a WB on win10 you need it. [quote w
