ObjectBar Font doesnt apply.

Hello,

I am using the ObjectBar Skin by shiftedx and the font, Lucida Granda isnt displaying on it.

It is showing times new roman or something. How do I fix this?

Also, the finder Bar isn't summarizing the Applications I have Open.

Example: Lets say I have firefox open. The bar right now says, "Help-ObjectBar Font doesnt apply. -Aqua-Soft Forums-Mozilla Firefox"

That is WAAAY To big. I just want it to say:

'Help-....Mozilla Firefox" or something like that.

You'll need to limit the character size of that menu...

Did you install the font?

#495950

Yes.

How do I limit the character size?

Also, now it only says finder. Is there a way I can load 2 objectbar themes that are different and drag bars from one to another?

Which objectbar are you using?

The latest one paid version

Rainer I'm going to post for you a new version this isn't the next release by me I'm just curious as to how to fix your problems and prevent them for other users of my theme.

Let me know how the font looks and let me know if the rounded corners are looking also if the transparency didn't work for you let me know.

Install all of the fonts included in this zip.

please post back here and let me know how things are working using that theme.

Also please note I'm deving for an older version of object bar v1.5 to be exact.

I thnk i know why

In your deviation it says Lucida Gr, not Lucida Grande.

I know for a fact that those are 2 different fonts.

@shiftedx: LUCIDAGR.pfm won't install on 32bit vista, also the font still isn't working

hmm I'm going to see how much of a difference using Lucida Grande will make as far as the appearance and see if that will fix your problem

The Helvetica fonts are for the pop up menus just to let you know.

I got it to work.

I don't know how. I went on osx-e and downloaded and installed those mac fonts.

BTW Shiftedx, I am jivhg on deviantart and osx-e someone used my email for an account here and I discovered that while I was trying to register again and I don't know how to change my name. Eh.

#495986

oh ahahha nice well I'm glad you got it working man sorry for the trouble is there anyway you could link me to the fonts you used so I could bundle them with my next release?

also how do you like the rounded edges on the new bar? they are slight but noticeable if you're looking for them ;)

#495988

;)

Fonts:

The fonts are just at osx-e, just search mac fonts there and the name is Mac Fonts, ya cant miss it :P

I have had zero luck with fonts with most of the ObjectBar skins I have tried...

Of all the Leopard OB skins I've seen, this is my favourite... just wish the Apple button did its job! So naturally I'd like to use this one. However, I can not for the life of me get the font to look decent. It looks like... it's anti-aliased or something. Just pixellated and bad.

Good job on the skin otherwise, though, Shiftedx! Any updates coming soon?
