DVD Flick and fonts for thumbnails

[Marshfish]

Hello,

I've been using DVD Flick for a few months now, and it's working fine. I guess this is the
Beta version as I'm able to create a main menu. So, my question is regarding the
thumbnails after clicking on the main title. The font lettering underneath the DVD Flick menu
thumbnails are difficult to read, as they're so small. Is there a way to use a different font for the program?
Please let me know. Would larger size thumbnails be needed for the different font lettering?

Thanks in advance for the info,
Marshall

don't know exactly what you want but,

open c:\program files\dvd flick\templates
go to the template you want,
open the 'template.cfg' file with a text editor,
search 'thumb'
you'll find input areas for size font ... etc

Tripp,

Thanks for the reply. How do I open the file with a text editor? When I click on
the template.cfg file, I first get a caution warning saying editing or modifying
various programs could damage the operating system. When I did click to go
ahead and open it, it said Windows cannot open the file, but could either
use the Web service to find the appropriate program or send the file from a list.
What do I do next?

Right now, when I click on the thumbnails, the lettering of the title underneath it
looks squished together, thus tough to read. I'm thinking a different template
underneath the window would help. Or does it need bigger sized thumbnails on the
screen? If so, I guess that'd mean I'd need a whole new menu program for DVD Flick.

Tripp,

I found this on yahoo:
After installation, you can edit menu templates from address below:
Program Files\DVD Flick\templates\Plasma Sphere edit pictures in a
picture editor and template.cfg file in notepad.

So, I used notepad to open the template.cfg file, but still a little
confused on what to do next.

Thanks again for your help,
Marshall

search 'thumb'

ctrl+f

under
'defaultThumbCaption'
you'll see properties you can change,
you can change all.

it should be enough to change font size to a little bigger.
could also change font to Arial or Times New Roman, or whatever.

you can make the thumbs bigger too.

That's what we get for letting MS still regard the end-user as a five-day-old baby.
