Hello, I'm transitioning from MM4 to MM5 and have relied on the G-Monkey_PS skin for decades due to its readability. I found "Codemonkey," which resembles it but has a less legible font. How can I switch to a different font file? I'm seeking guidance on adjusting the necessary variables in the config. Appreciate any direction.

Font should change.

Hi,
Always edit skin_base_add.less not precompiled as it can get overwritten.

For anyone running across this thread trying to figure out how to do the same thing.

The above wasn't working for me in version 5.0.4.2693 - no changes made to the \AppData\Roaming\MediaMonkey5\Skins\CodeMonkey\skin\skin_base_add.less would seem to take effect.

However, for some reason there is also a CSS file here:
\AppData\Roaming\MediaMonkey5\precompiledLess_CodeMonkey_Desktop.css
Which has the same parameters. Editing them here [i]does[/i] work.
I don't know exactly when this file is generated (on skin install?), but the changes do appear to be persistent.

Now I finally get to enjoy a dark discreet skin with a readable font.

Define it also in the skin_base_add.less as font-family for the body element like:
[code]
body {
font-family: Segoe UI;
}
[/code]
[/quote]

Aha! The body element was missing! Thank you for your help, that seemed to worked :)

body {
    font-family: Segoe UI;
}

Define it also in the skin_base_add.less as font-family for the body element like:

[code]
body {
font-family: Segoe UI;
}
[/code]

The best is to unpack a sample skin =>
e.g. rename codemonkey3059.mmip => codemonkey3059.zip => unpack and watch the sources to see how the fonts are defined for the individual skins.

@font-face { font-family: Segoe UI; src: url("/skin/fonts/Segoe UI.ttf"); }
@font-face { font-family: Segoe UI; src: url("/skin/fonts/Segoe UI Bold.ttf"); font-weight: bold; }

You can add somehting like this:

[code]
@font-face { font-family: Roboto; src: url("/skin/fonts/Roboto-Regular.ttf"); }
@font-face { font-family: Roboto; src: url("/skin/fonts/Roboto-Medium.ttf"); font-weight: 500; }
@font-face { font-family: Roboto; src: url("/skin/fonts/Roboto-Bold.ttf"); font-weight: bold; }
@font-face { font-family: Roboto; src: url("/skin/fonts/Roboto-Italic.ttf"); font-style: italic; }
[/code]

to the skin_base_add.less file of the G-Monkey_PS skin.

Hey Ludek,

i have tried exactly this but failed and i don't see why. I have added the following code into the skin_base_add.less file

[code]
@font-face { font-family: Segoe UI; src: url("/skin/fonts/Segoe UI.ttf"); }
@font-face { font-family: Segoe UI; src: url("/skin/fonts/Segoe UI Bold.ttf"); font-weight: bold; }
[/code]

and i have added the files "Segoe UI.ttf" and "Segoe UI Bold.ttf" to the AppData\Roaming\MediaMonkey5\Skins\CodeMonkey\skin\fonts folder.

No luck though, the font stays the same in MM5. Any ideas what is missing?

@font-face { font-family: Roboto; src: url("/skin/fonts/Roboto-Regular.ttf"); }
@font-face { font-family: Roboto; src: url("/skin/fonts/Roboto-Medium.ttf"); font-weight: 500; }
@font-face { font-family: Roboto; src: url("/skin/fonts/Roboto-Bold.ttf"); font-weight: bold; }
@font-face { font-family: Roboto; src: url("/skin/fonts/Roboto-Italic.ttf"); font-style: italic; }

You can add somehting like this:

[code]
@font-face { font-family: Roboto; src: url("/skin/fonts/Roboto-Regular.ttf"); }
@font-face { font-family: Roboto; src: url("/skin/fonts/Roboto-Medium.ttf"); font-weight: 500; }
@font-face { font-family: Roboto; src: url("/skin/fonts/Roboto-Bold.ttf"); font-weight: bold; }
@font-face { font-family: Roboto; src: url("/skin/fonts/Roboto-Italic.ttf"); font-style: italic; }
[/code]

to the skin_base_add.less file of the G-Monkey_PS skin.
i.e. you can also unzip the skin file and leave it there just as folder with he individual css/less files

i.e.
in C:\Users\<you>\AppData\Roaming\MediaMonkey5\Skins\CodeMonkey\Skin\fonts\ put a new font as *.ttf
in C:\Users\<you>\AppData\Roaming\MediaMonkey5\Skins\CodeMonkey\Skin\skin_base_add.less
define it per code example above..

Hi, i am trying to switch from MM4 to MM5. I have bee using the skin "G-Monkey_PS" for decades and am very used to it, besides, it has great readability. The most similar skin i found is "Codemonkey" which looks great but has a font that is difficult to read. What do i need to do, to switch to a different font file? Surely there is a place in the config where i can switch the necessary variables. Thanks for any hints into the right direction. Cheers

Have you resolved this? I have the same issue as well.
(Switching from MM4 with the skin G-Monkey_PS to MM5 with the Codemonkey Skin as it is the most similar to G-Monkey besides the font.)

Hello,

I am trying to update a skin (Code Monkey) and change out its font file to something more appealing to my eyes.

I cannot seem to get MM5 to pickup the font file change.

Is there something I'm missing other than adding font file to skin directory and updating skin_base_add.less with the new font location & file name?
