For the fonts, they are set per skin, in SkinStudio, which is used to put WB skins together, the fonts for each part that has settings can be set different from all the rest, if Fonts for classic widgets are all used then all system fonts can be changed. For say taskbar buttons, font can be diferent for each state, normal, mouse over, pushed etc. For fonts for classic widgets there is 6 different sections, so 6 different fonts and sizes could be used just for system fonts. As for the parts of skins that have their own font settings, I have seen WB skins with 20 preset fonts to be used for these parts.
| that helps a little but seeing as it takes an unbelivable amount of time to show up id rather stick with the classic start menu |
Vista Plus V2 has a standard start menu ( no alpha/transparency ), even a low end card or on board graphics should have no problem showing it almost instantly. You should look at your system for any issues, spyware, virus etc.
I have a mid range card and only have slow drawing of start menu when it is per pixel/transparent and is using the blur effect, by slow I mean 2-3 seconds to draw completely.
