I noticed the font in WSB and the registry was not changed. Do you know how to edit that too?

The font in WSB and the registry(for the left-sided of both) look at the screenshot below.

You need to add the FONT:FONT properties to location shown in the screenshot below, click on the add property button in that window that comes up on the left used to drop-down menu and choose font in the center drop-down window choose font and then ok, once it's in place you can choose the font you want.

Thanks Jerry. I was able to change the address bar font. However, no matter what I do I'm stuck with this awful faded grey font in WSB and in the registry. I've tried changing the text color in TEXTCOLOR:COLOR to white but no luck..

The font color in WSB and the registry look at the screenshot below there is 1 for each state.

Have you restarted WSB sent you installed the font? If so uninstall the font and install it again.

I never installed the font, it was always there. If I try to uninstall it Windows says it "cannot be deleted because it is a protected system font". Odd that it doesn't show up in WSB..

I was able to change the font! Thanks again Jerry

The font and font color in the Properties cannot be changed it's hard coded.
