I would love to use this all the time, the only thing stoping me is the font. It's too small I'm having trouble reading it especially the when it's bold. 

Maybe a solution: delete the font from your system. I did this and the theme is perfect now. Not that I disliked the font, it looks nice. But on my non-ClearType-CRT it is just too small. 

Another, as well as a simpler soloution would be to just choose "Large Fonts"

in "Display Properties->Apperance" The font will change from Swis at 7pts.

to Verdana at 8pts. "Extra Large Fonts" is Verdana at 9pts. Of course if you have

a problem with Verdana as well then you're just plain screwed :cry:

Thanks. I still want to do it, but this is turning out to be more of a challenge than I had thought. I've made a few simple prompts before, but the quality of this vs is hard to replicate. I'll keep trying though unless someone who is more experienced with graphics wants to take a shot at it. I'll let you know if I come up with anything.

Yeah, ther're really fun arn't they. Ther're easy to make, a background a flag and

two sets of buttons. But It's the constant going back and forth in safe mode to check

the work that drives me absoloutly bonkers. The only ones I ever made I still use

(link) I would make others but I find that they go pretty well (not perfectly) with all my themes to

date. If somebody could come up with a program to change these things out

without haveing to go in safe mode I'd crank 'em out like Ritz crackers :yes:

I did try the large font setting. I can't put my finger on it. it just didn't look right to me.

Anyway thanks nitschi_austria that's one of those simple thing's I would have never thought of trying. (Y)

Well, if you don't like Verdana either I don't know what to tell you considering

it's one of the most widely used fonts on the web today. You could always

disect the style in StyleBuilder and choose your own font. Sorry, I can't please

everybody :(

    • Yes for me, I installed 'old calculator' (Windows 7 calculator) in its place since it is more useful to me. I think paint is the only one I left installed
    • eh I'll wait for the June 2026 MVS ISO downloads which should be coming out next Tuesday June 16 and possibly contain build 8655 instead of 8653

    • Cooler Master MasterFrame 600 PC case is now 33% off on Amazon by Ivan Jenic The Cooler Master MasterFrame 600 is currently $109.99 on Amazon, down from its original $164.99 list price. That's 33% off and $55 saved on this premium aluminum mid-tower case with a modular design. If you're upgrading your PC case and want something that doesn't force you into a rigid layout, the MasterFrame 600 is worth a look. The case is built around the Cooler Master's FreeForm 2.0 platform, which lets you reconfigure the internal structure according to your hardware. Magnetic side panels allow for straightforward adjustments, and the case supports everything from Mini-ITX to E-ATX motherboards without compromise. There's also generous cooling headroom. Four pre-installed PWM fans handle airflow out of the box. GPU clearance goes up to 410mm, and the case supports radiators up to 420mm with room for three simultaneously. Truth be told, this might not be the prettiest case on the market, but it’s highly functional. The aluminum construction keeps the whole thing lightweight despite its size, and the finish looks noticeably better than the plastic mid-towers competing at this price point. If you want a serious, flexible case that prioritizes function over flashy aesthetics like RGB lighting, the MasterFrame 600 delivers at a reasonable price.
