[Simplesentencethree Skin] Need To Change The Default Font

Post by Rimla »

HeLLo !

I just discover the Simplesentencethree Skin and I love it !
But I can't figure out how to change the default font.
I want to put the font named Hanshand in it.
Obviously, I already installed it in my Windows 7.

Here's a little screen showing where I'm stuck at:

Thanks ! :]

Take care you type the correct font name. I don't know if it's case sensitive, but Hanshand may be correct while HansHand is not. Also, sometimes the font name has some additional word, like "Hanshand Regular" or something. This little tool might help you find the right font name: RainFont.

Thanks for your interest, nice tool.

Looks like this is it:



I also put the relevant part of the Weather.ini here, maybe it could help:

Code: Select all

;----------METERS------------

[MeterTemp]
MeasureName=Measure#TempUnit#
Meter=String
Text=Il fait actuellement %1 degrés à Lausanne
FontColor=#Colour1#, 255
FontSize=#Size#
FontFace=HansHand
StringAlign=Left
StringStyle=#Style1#
StringEffect=#TextEffect#
FontEffectColor=#TextEffectColour#, 150
MouseActionCursor=0
AntiAlias=1
LeftMouseDoubleClickAction=!Execute ["#AddonsPath#RainRGB\RainRGB.exe" "VarName=Colour1" "FileName=#CurrentPath#Weather.ini" "RefreshConfig=Simplesentencethree\Sentence\Weather"]

Take care that the StringStyle you are using is actually provided by the font. If you use StringStyle = Bold and you don't have HandHand Bold installed, it might not work. Same for Italic or possibly even Regular.
