Editing the WINNTBBU.DLL Font

[steve02a]

yes, but don't know which strings, and i can't look at the file right now.

and judging by steve02a post, it doesn't appear that obvious

Below are the strings that hold the fonts, font sizes and colours. The question is though....which stringtable and which sub-string do ya edit? (as you can see, I've made changes to mine..just not the color or font size yet)

1-1033

STRINGTABLE

LANGUAGE LANG_ENGLISH, SUBLANG_ENGLISH_US

{

1, "9"

2, "8"

3, "8"

4, "Comic Sans MS"

5, "Comic Sans MS"

6, "24"

7, "0"

8, "11"

9, "0"

10, "18"

11, "0"

12, "9"

13, "0"

14, "16"

15, "0"

}

2-1033

STRINGTABLE

LANGUAGE LANG_ENGLISH, SUBLANG_ENGLISH_US

{

16, "9"

17, "0"

18, "700"

19, "Comic Sans MS"

20, "400"

21, "20"

22, "0"

23, "Dissecting |Your |Computer"

24, "Doing |Nothing |Important"

25, "Starting |Neural |Connection"

26, " "

27, " "

28, " "

}

you can't change the color in the winntbbu.dll file. You have to hex edit it. THere is another thread by flyakite about that.

as for teh fonts.....to use any font that is not installed by Windows by default....

remember those threads awhile back about isntalling fonts and such (search for it, you'll find it) and how it had registry settings. Just make the settings into inf compatiable, and then search through the hive files for the one containing the fonts (I'm writing this from memory) and copy that there. Then put the actual file in $$\Fonts and you're good to use a custom font.

Any chance you could fix up the images?

how can one actually change the font color? i read a thousand threads now and all i now is that it can't be done via resource hacker/tuner and that it has to be hex-edited.

all screenies i saw here were with white text... sorrowly my setup looks s***ty with white text and i need black text

[eirogge]
