Title: Text glow problem [Solved]
Post by: nilanko on September 13, 2010, 02:49:33 pm
I'm modifying the Windows 7 basic theme. I added the following properties for adding glow to caption bar text:
Textglow:bool(true)
Composited:bool(true)
Textglowsize:int(2)
Glowintensity:int(80)
Glowcolor:color(White)


The glow intensity and color properties have no effect no matter to whatever value I change. When I increase the text glow size property, the caption bar text keeps on moving upwards. When I set the value to 1, the text goes a little upwards, which is tolerable. But if I change the value to even 2 or 3, the text goes too much upwards which is not visually appealing.how can I prevent the text form moving upwards? Is it possible to forcibly pull the text down even if I increase the text glow size?

I'm new, so excuse me if I'm wrong, but check Fonts, Colors & System Metrics > Colors (Globals) for TEXTGLOWSIZE:INT and make sure it isn't 0.

As I said earlier that the text keeps moving upwards on increasing glow size, it no more happens. What I did is that removed the "Composited:Bool" property and instead added the "TextGlow:Bool" property. Now the text remains at its original position no matter to whatever value I increase the Text Glow to. :D
