font size in menu(solved)

Postby banshee on Mon Jun 15, 2009 9:37 pm

when i download styles for fluxbox or icewm the fonts are often too small.
Is there an easy way to fix that? ( in that case in icewm the taskbar is a bit small too).

For fluxbox in your home username hidden fluxbox folder
Open overlay file and add something like this:

menu.title.font: sans-10:bold
toolbar.clock.font: sans-10:bold
toolbar.workspace.font: sans-10:bold
.font: sans-8

Choose your fonts style and size

the problem is that it doesn`t change the entries in the menu, but only for the titles.
I also added the entry in ~/.fluxbox/init. (i was looking for it, but couldn`t remember the term "overlay").

-
a few minutes later:
Once i knew what to search for i found another overlay-setup online:
Code: Select all
menu.frame.font: Bitstream Vera Sans-16
menu.title.font: Bitstream Vera Sans-12
toolbar.clock.font: Bitstream Vera Sans-12
toolbar.workspace.font: Bitstream Vera Sans-12
toolbar.iconbar.focused.font: Bitstream Vera Sans-12
toolbar.iconbar.unfocused.font: Bitstream Vera Sans-12
window.font: Bitstream Vera Sans-12


It did work.
thanks
