New to WindowBlinds a question of size

from JoeUser Forums
I'm new to widowBlind and find skinning my desk top fantastic I just wish I had the tallent to do the things the skinners here do.

I have a LCD display and it's native resolution is 1280 x 1024 and I'm finding that some skins I use whilst just what I'm looking for are small on a large disply, is there something I'm doing wrong? are there some skins made espaecially for large display formats? can I modify skins in skinstudio to give me larger fonts?

Thanks again for your tallent and expertise.

David.

Are you talking about windowblind skins specifically?

If it's the font size that's the issue then there should be a combobox under the sub-style combobox under the Appearance tab in Display properties.

Yes WB skins only, I'm not complaining as I appreciate the work it's just that a skin on my 1024 x 768 laptop and the same skin on my 1280 x 1024 are different like the title bar a really small on the larger display

This is probably just sillieness on my part

It's not silliness....thomassen was correct...you can change everything related to the skin in Display Properties/Appearance/Advanced...or you can use the 'User Overrides' in WB Config.

I was always told that size doesn't matter...

Thanks for that, I have tried the advance tab but find that if I increase the font or even use say Veranda then the font becomes to large for the 3D buttons, would the solution in this case to be for me to redo the buttons in skinstudion?

You could. An easier route might be to go to Display Properties/Settings/General and increasing the DPI size in small increments until the size is right for you.

Thanks for that suggestion I tried it but I am given a choice of 100% the next setting is 125% which is a bit to large, is there a registry hach where I could set the dpi to say about 110%?
