Hello Everyone,
Long time lurker first time poster. Seems like a really friendly place here so I thought I would pitch in with my first post and ask a question.
I have played with shape shifter quite a bit but don't allways like all of the aspects of the different themes (such as buttons etc).
What I do want to be able to do is change my menu bar font....i have tried tinker tool but it doesnt seem to change that font....i may be doing something wrong ie not got the right catagorie in tinker tool but am hoping someone could point me in the right direction!!

Thanks in anticipation!!!

You can only change the that system font with Silk from unsanity.org and it will change it system wide. You cannot just change the menubar font.

The new feature of GUI Tweak could be the possibility of changing the text color of particular sections like menubar etc.

That's a color change, not a font change.

Sorry... what I meant was: it could be the great new feature of GuiTweak to have the option to change the font colors...

TinkerTool all the way people !!! I don't use SILK at all. I have found that TinkerTool lets me manipulate the fonts I want with ease. Peace out . . .
