    Does anyone know where I can set the size for fonts to be smoothed? I noticed my WinME smooths fonts bigger or equal to size = 14, but I want some detailled fonts in my title bar so I would need smoothing from 10 or 12...

    I think you can only set this for your windows not for your app.
    Use TweakUI to set it for your windows.

    Tsx, I want to set it for the whole windows shell... but where in TweakUI? I didnt find such an option... (I dont mean to set it on/off, i want to set the SIZE where it smooths)

    i can't find any setting like that..you could perform real time smoothing..lol
    if the sizes are small you won't notice jaggedness much anyway, so do u need smoothing?

    Tweak UI is a Control Panel "extension" that allows you to change some of the hidden Windows prefernces, but you cannot enable/disable font smoothing with it (at least in the version I have). It comes with Power Toys wich you can download from MS site (hopefully ).

    I am sorry, I thought I did it with TweakUI, but if it wasn't tweakUI it must have been More Properties. Or could you even set it on the themes control.
