changing the task panel font in skinstudio

from WinCustomize Forums
I just downloaded the WB skin deanach3, and because I really like this skin, I tried to fix some little problems.

I got the most stuff to work but I didn't yet figure out how to change the task panel font, since it's too small.

I hope someone can help me.

First you define a font you'd like to use with a proper size. You do that under Miscellaneous -> Presets -> Font Presets.

Then you apply it under Taskbar -> Taskbar button -> Attribute (in the right tree).

I don't want to change the taskbar font but the task pane font.

You know, that pane in the file browser window in WinXP on the left side showing several options.

I didn't find a font attribute there so I was wondering how to change it.

Ah I mis-read it

Well, you'll need an UIFILE for that. You can take an existing skin that has those and see how it's done. You'll need to edit the code to change the colors and font. The UIFILEs are text files with code in it, you can edit them in notepad.

Here's a small list:

explorer tree XP shell- shellstyle (unsupported), remove embedded strings and Shellstyle XP low level definition,
embedded strings removed returns font too default, Shellstyle removed will allow panel background color changes.
Some msstyle ports will not have task panel until Shellstyle XP is removed, as far as I know does not effect anything else
as SkinStudio shows them as unsupported, red x on folder.
I remove these from any WB that is a msstyle port.
