Is there a way to change all the fonts of a visual style?

[nikosawolfie]

I'm using a custom visual style but I didn't like the font so I changed them from the Personalize->Windows Color and Appearance section however some areas went unchanged. I assume these cannot be edited simply from there. Would it be extremely difficult to change these additional areas? I'm referring to the font for the text under "Libraries" and a few others which are normally controlled by "Icon" I think in the Windows Color+Appearance section however even changing it there did not do anything.

If you join here it's free Virtual Customs Then go to this tutorial Change all Fonts in WSB easily.. it will show you how to change all the fonts easily.
You need 2 things one is Restorator - Bome Software - Restorator - the resource editor for customization, localization, and translation. and they have a free 30 day trial
And this Notepad++ Home it's free.
Let me know if you need help.

Thanks I'll give that a try.

Alright it seemed to work for the most part, a few areas just refuse to change though (like when you click on a library and its selected, it still shows as Segoe UI). Also my browser has now reverted back to Segoe UI. The rest of my computer seems to have changed the new font though. Thanks

You're Welcome
There are some areas that cannot be changed.
If you would post a screenshot of it I can tell you if they can be changed.

My mistake, it seems when I did the replacement step of that tutorial it didn't replace some of the old fonts so I assumed they couldn't be changed. Went back and changed all of them now and everything seems fine. Thanks again

Edit:

Actually you know what, I haven't been able to change this

The title bar. I tried to bold it through the Windows Appearances/Colors section but it won't change. I'm not sure which line of code in that file you are supposed to edit, controls the title bar though.

Post a link to that theme and I will look at it.

Put the .msstyles you are using in a zip & post it here then I can tell you.

Just looked at it, it's the same line 129

Hm I changed it exactly as you did but it's still not bolding. Did it work for you when you tried it?

Edit:

You know what I think it's the font I'm using, the title bar seems to bold properly with other fonts but not this one. Strange considering it bolds fine everywhere else.

Yes it worked for me, which font are you trying

It's alright it's not a big deal really.

I hate to nag more but you seem to be pretty knowledgeable about this so I have another question if you don't mind

Do you know what line controls the "Libraries: Open a library to see your files and arrange them...properties" thing when you open up a library.

I went into the Windows Colors and Appearance section and changed "Icon" to some other font (Calibri) and when I changed it back to the original font, that library thing I mentioned above refuses to change, it's stuck on Calibri. I reinstalled my VS, used Restorator to completely redo everything but no luck.

I will look in to it.

Thanks. Just for reference here is a pic of what I was talking about

As you can see the font is different for the libraries pane. Unless I'm crazy the library pane and the libraries below it had the same font before I went and messed it up. Seems silly to fuss about this I know, but it drives me nuts when I break something that wasn't broken and can't get it back the way it was.

I found out a little bit more you can not add to the Neutral.rc you can only change what's there the only reason it works for me is I used Windows Style Builder to change the caption text font size saved it and looked in that Neutral.rc to see what the changes were. What I did not do the first time was looking at the original Neutral.rc first it has 128 lines when I changed it with Windows style builder it added that extra line. I added line 129 to the original Neutral.rc saved it and then opened it up with Windows Style Builder and did not see the changes there.
