Menu Font ?

[dzur]

Code: Select all

Menu, MyMenu,font, s1000, Verdana

Not working.
Any workaround without having to make too many code changes by using GUI ?

Please show working example.

Appreciate your help.
Thx,
dzur

According to the docs, "font" isn't a recognized Menu command. Based on that, I'd say that you can't change the font.

Adding to Osprey's comments...

There is no way to set the font via the Menu command. Exception: A menu item can be made bold by using the Default option. Ex: Menu MyMenu,Default,MyMenuItem.

The menu font is a system-wide setting for all programs and it is typically set when a theme and screen DPI is set. The following are instructions on how to change the font but remember, this will change the font for all programs that use the standard menu. Hint: Don't use a bold font.

These are instructions for Windows 7 but I'm sure that the instructions for other versions of Windows is similar.

- I wrote a function to change the system-wide menu font.

- Is someone going to try to write a script to create GUI menus from first principles? E.g. by using Static controls, and changing the colour when you hover over them.
