M3: Removing Font Outlining in Taskbar Thread last updated on 2006-07-31 16:00:18

I don't like the font outlining that comes as default in M3 on the taskbar items. I'm sure on a larger font, it would look fine, though.

So I set out to change it.

In theme.rc, I went down to the tasks config section, where it looked like there were already font formatting options being set. I checked the documentation and found some properties I could change.

I tried...
xTaskbarNormalButtonFontOutline false
xTaskbarButtonFontOutline false
xTaskbarFontOutline false


and none would take the font outlining off. Can anyone help?

search for those settings in theme.rc and change them to false

IOW, you need to make sure that those settings are not set to 'true' somewhere else in the config files. The first occurrence gets precedence, and any later duplicates are ignored.

Agent Ransack is a great tool for things like this, BTW.

Agent Ransack? Never heard of it. I'll do some hunting and try to find info on it. Thank you.

Also good to know that first setting is one that takes precedence.
