I'm just in the process of attempting to change the font used on my skin

Haven't yet decided if i'm gonna stick with it, as i've realised i'll have to do EVERY window

But I was just wondering, what are the strings for the arrows beside Nickname and Personal message on the main window?  I noticed that when changing the font of that window, those arrows changed to different characters.......so they're obviously strings as opposed to pictures

and it might take a while to search through the whole msglang_strings file to find them........does anyone know offhand what string numbers they are?

I managed to change the colour of mine, if that helps.....

how did you do that?

923 Style (Yes i use consolidated windows rather than the original ones to edit, but I'm sure you can find find the same bit in the original window styles file

Button[id=atom(idSplitButtonSplit)]
{
    AccDesc:"Show your contacts the song you're listening to as your personal message";
    AccName:"Personal Message options";
    foreground:rgb(32,85,98);
}

Changes the PSM drop down icon colour

Button[id=atom(statuschooser)]
{
    AccName:"Status:";
    AccDesc:"Change your status and your display picture here. To change your display name, go to Options.";
    layoutpos:client;
    foreground:rgb(32,85,98);
}

for the status selection box (the whole box not just the triangle icon)

i found the same bit, but it doesn't seem to respond to a "FontFace" tag

like i said, i think it's a string rather than a picture or anything, because it's a symbol that shows up

i may scrap the idea......am i right in thinking that to change the font i'd have to including every single definition file with the font details changed?

Search for "ToolbarCaret" in the 947 Style text document in Consolidated Windows. It is in the logon folder.

The font face (yes you are right) is Marlett and the color and of course font can be changed independently of the rest of the logon window. Oh, and this also changes the arrow on the help button in the far top right corner .

Hope this helps .

It is the contact list i was querying though not the logon screen

I'm talking about the arrows next to your Nickname & Personal Message

If i have to change every single style sheet though i don't think i'll bother.....there's like 40 windows

correct, you do. There is no universal Caret resource so you have to do each window you want it applied to.

Same goes for min,max,close buttons, gotta do every style it's a fucking pain in the arse
