Skinstudio: taskbar menu

December 23, 2006 12:55:03 PM from WinCustomize ForumsWinCustomize Forums
Greetings,

I use WindowsBlinds to enable the layout Pearlthane, and it has a small mistake in it.

Please check the following picture:





Half of the menu name disappears. I have tried alot in Skinstudio to solve this pain in the eye, but haven't been succesfull so far...

Is there any expert who might be able to help??

I don't seem to have that skin, and to be honest, I don't use the Windows taskbar, so I'd probably be of little help here. But if someone doesn't come along to help in the near future, I'll see if I can figure this out.

If nothing else, at least my comment will bump your thread back up to the top of the list.

In SkinStudio, in the left panel, go to Taskbar > Taskbar Gripper > Horizontal, then in the right panel select Text Settings > Font - Normal and choose a suitable sized font, or create a new one. You can also set the colour from here too. Good idea to do Vertical too

I have this skin, but have had no problems. The text visability is determined by the content margins of the taskbar buttons. In SS, on the left tree, go to Taskbar > Taskbar Button > Horizantal. On the right side menu, click on content margins and adjust the size there. The default settings for this blind were Left: 0, Top: 1, Right: 4, Bottom: 2. If you increase the top and bottom margins, you should be able to see the text. Hope this helps.

OOPS! Fuzzy, you beat me to it! I see, though, that I gave a little different answer..this is how I adjust for visibility of the text when I make my blinds.

Gentlemen thankyou!



Fuzzy it was indeed a gripper related font (not a taskbar button).   



Infact it was enough to just define a font to the gripper and all was solved! I didn't even had to small down the font size.



Thank you all gents!

Yep, it does. Since he said he was trying in SS to fix it, I guess I figured he was messin with the content margins of the buttons...

I'll have to keep your response on hand for me, in case I run into this problem!
