I am under the assumption that if you do not have fonts for classic widgets assigned then your system will use previous skin settings. I don't get how MikeB got away without them assigned. I have never tried because of how sensetive they are.

First I would check the font size settings under display properties/appearance. Change the skin to XP default. Set the font settings under display properties to large and then back to normal.
Rebnoot. That should clear any previous settings. Try your skin again.

Rebooting is the only way to change icons and text settings system wide. Kiling explorer doesn't do it.

I would be glad to help keep your subscription alive. Email me your info and I'll see about getting you hooked up.

I saw a post recently with people having that font problem. I am looking for it.

I'll contact you tonight about the OD subscription.

fonts are huge  

Have you checked your font settings in windowblind settings.?
How about under display properties?

I posted the comment below in the wrong thread.
All I got is...Try changing the fonts for classic widgets to a normal font and size, reboot.
Adam N has warned pretty clearly that messing with fonts for classic widgets can go nutty.
Seeing mIkeB's skin without any settings has really scrambled my nuggets.

Soon as I apply a skin with the sections assigned...its all good.  

yes,but my own older skins are borked as well...ANY skin without the correct assignments  

Not being wise grasshopper...It means I would have to 'fix' all my older skins and all older skins from other authors...they shouldnt be broken that way by an update to WB...Its no fun skinning your butt off if an update is going to screw up all your past work and create more work for you.    

It may be mostly a local issue on my pc...but if it happened to me,its happening to others.  

hehe,I'm trying to find the strength and willpower to update them ALL.    

I'm pulling for ya I.R. ...be the skinner

bump  

well...?
