Changing Font & Font Size in Shadow DT

[christopher9944]

Hello Jeff,

I am a long time user of Shadow. I feel surprised by how happy I am using my 4 year old Palm. As I look at what all is available now, the "new" options have no pull for me. It feels unfortunate to me that the world doesn't go for the depth of what's available. I need a tool not another gadget.

I really hope you get the opportunity/financial motivation to update the Shadow DT. Shadow on the Palm is way awesome (and yes, could use updating as well)! I so appreciate how it supports me as I go about my life. My gratitude to you Jeff!

Here's my question.
I have been trying to find where I can have some control over the font in the SP DT window. It's so easy on the palm with the Fonts4OS5/Font Smoother programs. The only way I have found to get a bigger font in Windowsis to set up a virtual desktop and lower the resolution. Not being a programmer type I wonder if it's easy to tell me how to access the place in my system where I can make font changes in SP DT. Or do you know of a similar program for windows that does what Fonts4OS5 does. I am an AutoHotkey user but don't know how that program might be of help.

Thanks for the great program and the support.
Namaste,
Chris

I forget if I included a font changer in the DT, but it does have
a font size menu item; increase and decrease size. Or at least some of the
later versions floating around do..

Try the last desktop update and let me know; if you can't find it
in the menu I'll take a look or get you a later build.

Hi Jeff,

# Try the last desktop update and let me know;
# font changer in the DT,
# font size menu item; increase and decrease size

Neither of these options could be found in the latest version. I also searched the html file - Shadow Desktop Reference Guide, Updated for Shadow Desktop 4.0 and found no references to fonts.

Changing font size would be a big help and I'd love to be able to select a font. Something bolder that would help emphasize the different colors is what I'm after.

# I'll take a look or get you a later build

I'd really appreciate it!

Thanks!
Chris
