Changing titlebar font sizes... how is it done?

The title says it all. I have dug around extensively in WB Connfig and in the new Skin Studio, and all attempts to change the size of title bar font are ignored. Why?

I had a problem with this too, but then vstyler pointed out that when you're in the Active Window titlebar section, there should be a dropbox to switch between the different types...if the skin is a per-pixel one, you need to select per-pixel (at least in SKS 5, haven't used SKS6).

I did see the equivalent in SS6. That didn't prove to be a help. The best I can tell, is that the height of the title bar limits how large the font can be. My attempts to increase the size of the title bar were a failure, too. The WB skinned bars didn't change one iota, but the old windows classic bars I could get to stretch to ridiculus proportions.

To change titlebar font size, in SKS, on left side: Window Borders > Titlebar text > Titlebar fonts. On the right side, font height changes the size of the font. This is how it is in SKS 5, anyway. I don't have 6 yet.

In SKS you must change the content margins of the title bar as well as font size .
Also the actual height of the title bar are set in the [Metrics] sec. In SKS6 it is
Edit title bars/Edit perpixel frames/Caption/Extra settings/OS Caption Height!

Do the images set for the title bars stretch to fit the size you set for them, or will these need editing separate from the the OS Caption Height?
