Merry Christmas! When hitting the cusomize button for a particular theme, it always shows the same theme font settings. In other words the customize button doesn't reflect the font settings for the theme I selected. What am I missing that will change this behavior? Thanks.

Merry Christmas!

The Customize dialog is for the currently *loaded* theme, not the currently selected theme (check the theme name below the title bar of the dialog). So, first you must load/apply the theme, then you can customize it.

Sorry Jorge. Allow me to clarify. I did mean to say apply rather than select. The font settings seem to be determined by the workshelf theme. So what I'm asking is why, when changing the theme of other elements, such as modules, top & side docks, to a theme other than the wokshelf theme, the font customization settings remain with that of the workshelf theme. Must be by design I guess.

Hmmm, unless I misunderstood, that is not what is happening here.

For instance, lets say I'm using the DarkTech theme. The font used in the CPU Meter desktop module for that theme is 'Segoe UI'.

If I then go to the Themes tab, change the combo box to 'CPU Meter' and select *and* apply the Cabal Xtreme theme, the CPU module will change to the Cabal Xtreme theme. Clicking on Customize button in the Themes tab will now show 'Tahoma' as the font used for the CPU module.

Oh,.. perhaps the freedom to customize which may lie in the ever elusive theme creator that is told in legends of myth and lore. We may never know of it's true existence I fear.. :lol:
