Customization :: Any Way To Change Fonts Of Menus

Sep 24, 2015

on previous releases of Windows you could select Fonts for Window titles, menus , toolbars etc.

On two of my monitors the current fonts just look HIDEOUS and there's no way to change them -- worked fine on Windows 7.

This is going to cause BIG problems for some people if we upgrade to W10. They are using laptops - then it's fine if not using an external monitor but when plugged into decent monitors via HDMI is when the problem starts. Applications are fine but the menus / titlebars etc are almost unreadable !!!!!

For instance -- no problem typing this post on to the Forum but looking at the http address or the menu line of the browser is HIDEOUS.

Using latest INTEL HD graphics drivers.

At least on XP --->W8 you could st the individual fonts for system items such as titlebars etc.

I'm running W10 x-64 pro build 10240 (RTM).

This is a BIG showstopper.

Note it's for the WINDOWS SYSTEM stuff I need to change the fonts for -- in things like Word you can change as desired in the APPLICATION area but not the Menu area etc.

For example -- File explorer list --hideously unreadable !!!! However uploading to png you can't see how bad it is !!! but it IS unreadable on the monitor.

How To Change Fonts For Title Bar / Menus / Popups

Feb 10, 2016

With Windows 7 it was possible to change the fonts used by Windows for title bar, menus, popups, etc...

This way I could get rid of "anti-aliased" fonts such as Segoe UI that are blurry and use "aliased" fonts such as Tahoma that are sharper and much more readable for me.

That and disabling ClearType give me the right fonts display configuration.But I cannot find this fonts configuration dialog in Windows 10.

Where can I find this dialog for Windows 10 (french snapshot):

Customization :: Change Menu Fonts

Dec 11, 2015

I am using windows 10 and I am trying to change the default fonts of the OS(I think is Segoe UI). I know that has been changed since windows 8, but I was able to change them so far by modifying the keys in "HKEY_CURRENT_USERControl PanelDesktopWindowMetrics" in registry(Segoe UI look terrible on my screen and I prefer Tahoma).

Since the last version of windows 10(10586) something changed regarding the fonts. Now the fonts of the right-click context menu in desktop and file explorer are somehow connected with the the fonts of the new black right-click context menu in taskbar and start menu button and the fonts of the control panel and I think the ribbon in file explorer. I came to that conclusion because when i deleted all the keys regarding Segoe UI in "HKEY_LOCAL_ MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindows NTCurrentVersionFonts", all the fonts of the above "fallback" to Arial and when I deleted only Segoe UI regular they fallback to Segoe UI italic.

As a result modifying menufont key in WindowsMetrics doesn't change the fonts in context menus of desktop and of file explorer. Menufont key still has an effect in menus of third party software like my player(MPC-HC) or in some right-click menus of windows like in the volume and network icons in taskbar. The other keys in WindowsMetrics folder(iconfont, statusfont e.t.c.) still working.

Now my question is obvious, is it possible to change the fonts in the other menus? Is there a separate key in registry regarding those fonts or are they hard-coded in some dll? Why oh why they keep changing these things?

How To Change Fonts In Edge

Jul 27, 2015

I just migrated to Win 10 from 8.1 and now I have EDGE instead of IE. When I open the yahoo.com Edge's fonts are screwed up and are set to Alien League font .At the same time fonts are correct in Firefox.

How do I change the fonts in Edge? My reading options , to the left of the Favorites Star icon, are grayed out. If I go to Advanced options I can set my fonts there to light, dark, default, large, medium. There is no option to use another font or change color, like internet suggests. My default language is English/USA.

How To Change Default System Fonts

Aug 17, 2015

I would like to change default system fonts that are used in applications, file managers, shell menus, windows titles, but I can not find the option to do so. I am comming from the Linux Mint where you have option "fonts" in control panel and there you change fonts, but here in W10 I can not find anything similar. Also, on my laptop Acer E5-571G, fonts are kinda hard to read, they are not very clear, like here on this site for example. Clear type tuning or however it is called is turned on. This is why I would like to change fonts to something else than default.

Customization :: Context Menus Not The Same - 2 Computers

Nov 20, 2015

I have 2 different Windows 10 machines...

1. A clean install of Windows 10.
2. An upgrade from Windows 7.

The right-click context menus are very different on each. I have imported the same themes and tried to match as many of the tweaks on the 2 machines.

For starters I have disabled Segoe UI completely, and replaced it with Arial. Also, Font Smoothing and Cleartype are completely disabled.

For the clean 10 machine, I get clean white context menus, both on the desktop and taskbar... no blurring.

For the 10 machine upgraded from 7, I get a gray blurry context menu, and a dark gray one on the taskbar.

See the compare pick below. Click on it to view full size to see the true compare.

Customization :: Colour Swap On Desktop Menus

Sep 25, 2015

Been playing with registry entries for a few days and I cannot seem to get the setup I want running. I will Pic appropriately to illustrate:

Basically, I want to move away from the Light, and into the Dark Theme, Keeping my Teal Colour scheme (looks win95/98, retro~) but the Dark themes apply only to the metro styling. I want Desktop Styling also, the Title Bars from White to Black (or more specifically the Dark theme RGB of 31,31,31):

applied to Title Bars of Desktop:

And of course the Active Window Titles from black to white (to show on the black title bars).

But I also want the Dark Menus:

Metro Dark theme Menu:

Applied to Desktop White Menu:

Photoshopped pic (OK MSPainted) to show what I mean:

(doesn't even need the 'Share + View' part, just the title will make me happy, looks nicer tho )

Hopefully I can get this working and list up all the useless preinstalled apps (to remove them from build), I can apply it to and build my own Win10 ISOs so I can clean-install my Desktop, Laptop and Tablet!

Customization :: Wrong Fonts On Websites

Aug 14, 2015

I am a graphic designer, so I have to use helvetica, however, with windows 10 there is an issue. Some sites that use helvetica end up picking a weird version of it. One of them being paypal, uses this awful Helvetica thin compressed.

There are other sites too. Some use a Helvetica heavy oblique. The weird thing is the website itself doesn't use that specific Helvetica font.

Customization :: How To Enable Sharp / Crisp Fonts In Icons And Taskbar

Nov 26, 2015

In Windows 7 I used an aliased font for my taskbar, start menu and desktop icons, because the text looks crisp and clear. Windows 10 makes the taskbar, start menu and desktop icons' text anti-aliased (fortunately the window titles are still aliased). How can I make Windows use aliased (i.e. non-blurry) text everywhere?

Customization :: Desktop Won't Change

Dec 14, 2015

I have my desktop picture set to change every hour or so but despite trying various settings it only seems to change every month or two!

I have two monitors driven by a Nvidia Quadro 600. Neither display is changing.

Also, when I first setup the two monitors, the screens aver would alternate the images on the two monitors. i.e. Pjicture A on right then B on left with A still on right, then C on left with B still on right, and so on. Now A appears on right with left blank, then B on left with right blank. Not sure why it changed.

Not a vitally required fix but it would be nice if it behaved as it should!

Customization :: How To Change Language In Start Up

I was wondering how you change the language in the start up? Like when the computer is shutting down/turning on, when you wake it up from sleep and enter a PIN, etc.

When I was picking the language in the initial start up, I accidentally chose French because the touchpad was really grippy. I've changed the language back to English for when I'm actually using the computer, but the start up and lock screens are still in French.
