Classic Widget Fonts

from Stardock Forums
Win 2k3, WB 5 beta2.
I have set the "Fonts For Classic Widgets" to all be Tahoma -11 in SkinStudio. But every time I change a skin these settings are ignored. The classic fonts (i.e. Display Properties/Advanced/Other Advanced Controls) revert to Times New Roman and MS San Serif. I can manually change them all here, but this is lost when the skin is next changed.
All normal "skinned" fonts seem to be applying correct.

Widgets are used by DesktopX and shouldn't be affected by Windowblinds. You could try adding DesktopX to the "Per Application" list to be excluded from skinning.

The "Fonts For Classic Widgets" won't apply to all text. Where was this setting not being applied?

DesktopX? We are talking about Windowblinds and Skinstudio.
I do worry sometimes
Go to Control Panel/Display Properties/Advanced/Other Advanced Controls.
The fonts here, e.g. Menu/Active Title/Icon, are what the "Fonts For Classic Widgets" section of Skinstudio should change.

To Replicate Problem:
1) Open Display Properties
2) Windows and Buttons: Select "Windows Classic Skin"
3) Color Scheme: Select "Red, White and Blue (VGA)"
4) Windows and Buttons: Select a skin that has "Font For Classic Widgets" set.
5) Click Apply.
6) Click Advanced / Other Advanced Controls.
You should see that the fonts and colour scheme still reflect "Red, White and Blue" rather than the Classic settings in Skinstudio.

Hopefully that is clearer. I can screen print if necessary.
