Happy New Year all...

Just wondered, what font does everyone use as their system font [if they do change it, that is...] - I use Mr Tew's Ti7 and it's great... but most of the fonts I've used either don't fit [too wide] or just don't go with the sleek, grey design...

Whichever mod you use, what's YOUR font? [screenshots too where possible please]

later...

Hold down Command (Apple/Clover thingy) + Shift + 3 to take a screen shot of all viewable screen. Command + Shift + 4 turns the mouse cursor into a rectangle selection tool that lets you highlight a specific rectangle of space to take a shot of... kind of a preemptive cropping tool.

So long,

I still use BankGothic Light, (see screenshot below) but I've also found that Skia, Bradly Hand, ChalkBoard, Century Gothic and Gil Sans work pretty great with Titanium. I'd sure be interested to know what other fonts people find to work well as System fonts.

I love the U.S., but we need some time apart.

I absolutely love the way you broke the menu entries into floating "buttons" and made transparent spaces.

It's a really cool effect and I think it would be perfect for that Star Trek LCARS theme to adopt if it ever gets made.

Sorry to go off topic but that's the first time I've seen it.

Well after you've taken the snapshot then you just upload it to your server and then put a link to it in your email with the html symbols for an image around the link. you put (img) before the link and (/img) after the link but use square brackets [] instead of the round ones(). You can see how by clinking reply on someone else's post that has a picture and their code will be obvious. It's easy.
