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 :(
