Change all fonts

Post by jomtones »

So I want to change the font for the Metromonkey theme - is there any quick way to do it other than click -click -click clicking through every entry in Theme Editor 7? ><
Thanks!

yep it is long to do that but then you realize not all fonts will change? and the size is best keep to smallest size so the mm font adjustment on the options page works.
then again you might beable to use a font that you know you do not have in your system. so that your systems alternet font will take over?
still you have to pick them all in the theme editor. just think i made 22 skins or so with that for mm 3 picked all the fonts each time. it gets faster each time you make a skin. except now on mm 4 there is more things to do for skinning, i have only made one skin of mine ( djcoco marantz skin ) work for mm 4 and i stopped doing them. i figure time for someone else after all the ones i did.

All I really want to change is the main playlist / library font, do you know which one it is in the editor?

Thx

There's a reason most skins don't change the font. It causes too many problems. The text will be too large to fit in a box but MM won't realize it and display a tooltip.

That said I pulled this from the wiki:

Listbox
Defines the look of listboxes (e.g. the Scan Folders dialog, tracklist)
Item\ActiveBitmap - for selected item background
ItemAdv\ActiveBitmap - for unfocused selected text background
ItemAdv\ActiveFont - for unfocused control selected text font
-
ListBox colors and fonts:
Colors\ListBox\Body - used to set default background colour
Fonts\ListItemTextNormal - for normal text
Fonts\ListItemTextHot - for 'hot' text
Fonts\ListItemTextSelected - for selected text

So I got the main list font working in Segoe UI - much more legible I think, here's a copy if anyone wants it!
