Sorry Jorge, but I decided to just restore my image that I created right before installing Winstep extreme, and just start fresh instead of importing settings from my old build.

Anyway, I can't for the life of me figure out how to increase the text that I show in my screen shot. Please assist!

By the way, I tried already using the section that I show in this screen shot. It doesn't change anything.

You're the second user I see going to that configuration dialog to try and change the font size on the Shelf, so I can only imagine how many have tried the same and just became frustrated without saying anything.

This is clearly a UI design error, even though, if you read the text just above the 'Select Label Font' button, it should be clear that this setting only has an effect when you've set the number of icon label lines to zero (i.e.; no icon labels are shown on the Shelf itself).

When the number of icon labels is set to None, icon labels are then shown outside the Shelf, exactly the same way as for dock item labels. It is the font used for this 'external' label that this setting has an effect on.

That you got confused is a mix of bad UI design (I must find a way to make what that setting affects perfectly clear) and the fact that skinning settings (and font types and sizes are considered skinning settings) were removed from the UI after v9.5.

Still, because changing font sizes and font types is still a useful setting even if you are not a skinner, I re-introduced the possibility of doing so later on, but apparently I hid it quite well lol

Open WorkShelf Preferences, go to the Themes tab and click the 'Customize' button. You will find the font settings for all WorkShelf objects there.
