How can I edit the size of the fonts in an objectbar osx like toolbar. I mean that I want the text thicker to be more accurate to the real thing. ( sorry that my english is not perfect but what I want is the chain Desktop File Edit View Go Window Help .......etc look more intense black ) I have explored de folder with the objectbar theme but I cant find any text in order to be edited.
Thanx in advance
Go to the folder, probably C:\Program Files\Object Desktop\Objectbar\Mac OS X Jaguar\Skins\AquaBar\ and open Aquabar.obskin in Notepad.
Here's my configuration:
;This skin was created for use specifically by ObjectBar or programs explicitly authorized by Stardock to use ObjectBar skins.

I've done your trick but nothing seems to have changed. I've copied your configuration and paste it in the aquabar.obskin file. Do you know with text line is the one that set the size font of the toolbar text ?
if you use windows xp, be sure to turn on clear type.
(right click on desktop, properties, appearance tab, and use "cleartype" to smooth edges of screen fonts)
