Same font for the GUI

Post by **Roger** » Wed Sep 21, 2005 7:31 pm

6.2 does not use the same font for the top menu bar as the selected font for the editor. The file tabs are in the correct font.

See support@ mail for screen shot.

Thanks,
Roger

Hello Roger,

The font and color for the menu, dialog title bar and other window properties are set by the native window theme active in the operating system. For example in Windows you can change the menu font by going to Control Panel - Display - Appearance - Advanced and selecting Menu in the Item combo box.

Thank you for the information. Is there something I can do in 'Windows' that would make the oxygen menu display the same size as the other applications? Please see the attached screenshot which shows the oxygen menu fonts much smaller than the desktop fonts and the menu in the Mozilla Thunderbird application.

Oh, sorry. This is on W2K advanced server. Maybe other Windows works differently??

Changing the menu fonts display item to bold does not bold the Oxygen menu display either but does bold all other applications menu displays.

Hello,

Restart <oXygen/> so that the font changes take effect in the menu bar and the window of <oXygen/>.

Actually, I restart Oxygen quite often. I also restart the whole computer but it doesn't have any effect. I have sent you another screen shot of the problem to support@..

Hello,

Do you use a Java 1.4.2 virtual machine ? The Java 1.4.2 virtual machine does not use the native font size for menus. Switch to Java 1.5, because it is better integrated with the native platform. The font size and color of Java menus come from the native environment. You can see the version number of the JVM that runs <oXygen/> as the value of the java.vm.version property available in Help - About - System properties.

Ah! That works. But how do I get oxygen to start using JVM 1.5? If I start oxygen using oxygen.bat, it uses java.vm.version 1.5.0_01-b08 and the menu fonts are correct. If I start oxygen using oxygen.exe, it uses JMV 1.4.x

How do I use JMV 1.5 without using the .bat to start? I tried a reinstall but it had no effect.

Thanks for your help!

Hi Roger,

You need to edit the ini file, see the second Note in the Installation Instructions in the user manual:
