Hi, great puppy doctors.
I changed the Backdrop of my Puppy Precise (5.6.1) to a lighter colored one. Now I want to make the text in the main menu lighter weight. The bold text is a bit out of place. Is thee a way to do this? May be specify a different font and select normal weight for it?
Thanks
Changing font attributes of the Main manu
Hi, naena.
In folder /root/.jwm there is a file called jwmrc-personal. Load it in your text editor. Line 8 or so (see attached pic), insert the following:
<MenuStyle>
<Font>Sans-10:italic</Font>
</MenuStyle>
If you don't like italics, try simply this:
<MenuStyle>
<Font>Sans-10</Font>
</MenuStyle>
Save.
Go to the initial black console with Ctrl-Alt-Backspace, and type
xwin jwm
Press return.
Your chosen font should now show in the menu.
Best regards.

PS. You may choose a larger font by changing the number 10 to 11 or 12 in the "Font" line.

It worked -- Thanks a lot!

I apologize for the delay in replying -- that's rude. I forgot it for awhile because of some scary personal events. (Everything's under control just now).
It worked perfectly. Thank you also for explaining how it works. Now maybe I can try some other fonts too. (I am making a broad one that I'll post here when it is finished)
