Solved Change Taskbar font

[ColourOz]

I am aware that similar questions have been asked, but reading the posts I cannot find the answer.

I have tried the usual options in Windows to change the taskbar font, but nothing seems to work. I have also noted the registry fixes, and still no change. I am happy to edit the registry if I knew what to edit. Does anyone know how to change the font? Would be much appreciated.

I can change the font using a paid program for you(aero theme only), it then is a custom theme.

You will need to do 1 of these 2 ways of Enabling custom themes for it to work.

What font do you want and what text do you want changed?

I would like to change the Taskbar font to Century Gothic, probably 10pt, which is easy to read. I have managed to change fonts using 'Personalize', but the taskbar font does not change.

Is this the right font Download Free Font Century Gothic ? or is it 1 of the gothic fonts in windows?

Are you using the default aero theme?

Thank you Jerry, I appreciate your help and interest.

It is the Century Gothic font which came from MS Office. I have no theme. I downloaded a picture off Yandex Browser and using it for the desktop. I would like the whole computer to have the Century Gothic font and through Windows Personalize, I have managed to change the font except for the Taskbar. For some reason, each time I customize, all the fonts change back to Segoe.

Put both the theme folder and .theme file in C:\Windows\Resources\Themes




It will show up in Personalization under installed themes.



Let me know if it's okay.
