Changing label positions of tabs in OD+

from WinCustomize Forums

OK, not sure if this goes here or not.  If it doesn't, moderators are more then welcome to put it where it goes.  :D

 

Here's the issue:

I am trying to make a background for OD and I can't for the life of me find where to change a tab's label position.  I am inside the background.ini and I've looked over all of it and can't find where to move the labels around.

 

Here is what I mean, if you can't understand me (I am highly aware I can make absolutely no sense at times.):

helpme...

I wish to move that label up a few pixels to be centered inside the tab.

 

Hope I am making sense.  Thanks for any and all help.  :)

Look for this setting in the .ini file.

[TabsOnTopSelected]
Image = Tab.png
TopHeight = 5
BottomHeight = 5
RightWidth = 10
LeftWidth = 10
TextVertOffset = -1 <------- raise this number up or down

You can use + or - in front of the number to move it where you want. ;)

 

If your using graphics on your tabs and want to move the text off of them you can add this be low each of your background settings...

[Background]
Image = Image.png
LeftWidth = 0
TopHeight = 0
RightWidth = 0
BottomHeight = 0
OutsideBorderLeft = 0
OutsideBorderRight = 0
ContentBufferTop = 0
ContentBufferBottom = 0

TabOverlapLeft = 0
TabOverlapRight = 0
TabContentBufferLeft = 0
TabContentBufferRight = 0 <---Adjust these settings as needed.

 

[BackgroundTop]
Image = Image.png
LeftWidth = 0
TopHeight = 0
RightWidth = 0
BottomHeight = 0
OutsideBorderLeft = 0
OutsideBorderRight = 0
ContentBufferTop = 0
ContentBufferBottom = 0

TabOverlapLeft = 0
TabOverlapRight = 0
TabContentBufferLeft = 0
TabContentBufferRight = 0 <---Adjust these settings as needed.

Unfortunately, for some reason none of those seem to be working.

 

I added the "TextVertOffset = -1" and set it to -5, didn't work.  Then I set it to +5 and it didn't work.  No changes in text position.  :(

I then tried the other you suggested and it didn't work either.  :/

I am probably doing something insanely wrong, so I will post the background.ini file.  (I am using "Aero #3 Black Font" background as a base. Don't worry this background is only for me.)  Hope this helps.

Chris...send me your dock at msn.com using my nic and I'll fix it all for you and when you get it back you'll see what you don't need in your .ini file. Not your fault but some people tend to overdue it in there with things they don't need or that cancel something else out.
