When ever avetunes is in use, it seems to effect the font that i am using in the windows theme. Could this be a fault in the theme or Avetunes?
When ever i quit itunes the font returns to normal. Has anyone experienced a problem like this, if so any help would be much appreciated
How is your setup? Windows XP SP2 and WindowBlinds 4.4?
Windows XP SP2 (slipstream install) and a patch uxtheme.dll.
its partly windows that has bad font rendering and partly quicktime/itunes that activate this font bug.
there are two solutions:
1. set cleartype on. this will change the way the fonts look but the bug will not surface any more.
2. if you want the font to look as its supposed to look and eliminate that bug with itunes/quicktime do this: Go to Control Panel, click on the quicktime icon. When the Quicktime Settings program launches choose "Video Settings" from the dropdown menu list and set it to Safe mode (GDI only)
i myself did the #2 cause i want my font to look like they should look. none of that ms crap hehe.
hope i helped
Thanks that worked, its strange. However ill pass on the clear type it make my pc run slow.
It sometimes happens when i edit the icon settings, in avedesk. Would it be worth posting a seperate thread?
something in the editing window of avedesk activates this font bug. i've had that same problem when using avedesk before. only way to fix this was to restart avedesk. its a bug in windows really. the fonts get screwed up every time a game is launched.. a 3d application , watching a movie. sometimes they go back to normal sometimes they dont. only way to globaly avoid the bug is using cleartype (I REFUSE IT MS I REFUSE!) I've concluded that the fonts mess up when something 3d is triggered, direct3d, driectdraw, opengl stuff like that.
