SKS UIS File

from WinCustomize Forums

Is it still advisable to delete fonts in .UIS file? In SK8,when i try to clear fonts in UIS and save and open sk8 it didn't allow me to use newly added fonts and it always back to its OS default.

#I still can add fonts using sks 8 but cant use..

#I delete 7 of 10  fonts but only 3 are usable.newly added font is useless.

You don't need to delete fonts manually in the .UIS file, but if you do things correctly it should work fine. You need to have a different skin applied though when making the changes.

Are you saying you are adding a new font inside SKS 8 but cannot use it anywhere when using the font drop down list in SKS 8? If so, sounds like you may have corrupted your .UIS file. When you remove fonts manually you need to keep them in numeric order. In other words, if you have Font 1 - 10 in the .UIS file, and you remove font #2, 6 and 8, you need to re-number the fonts as 1-7 thus keeping the correct sequence.

Hope this helps, but a word of advice, do not mess with the code in the .UIS file unless you really know what you are doing.  :)

Yeah it needs numeric order to work again but  it will tag again the section like Toppart,Tabs etc..It should be Blank once you added a new FONT.I also don't know why it did not delete those parts in the SECTIONS..I don't know if this is the SKS default now.. thanks LightStar.
