A while back I posted about wmbday a dock app I managed to raise from the dead back in 2017.

There are possibly some useful tips there aswell,

[Window Maker] enlarge Title Bar font easily.

If you find a theme that you like and the font is hard to read in the title bars.Or you think it is aesthetically not quite right for a bigger screen.

This is an easy way to make the text appear larger.

Make a copy of the theme and rename it. In my case,

eg: Intrigue to Intrigue1

Open up the STYLE file in Intrigue1 and look for something like this,

>ClipTitleFont = "-*-helvetica-bold-r-normal-*-10-*-*-*-*-*-*-*";

> WindowTitleFont = "-*-helvetica-bold-r-normal-*-12-*-*-*-*-*-*-*";

> MenuTitleFont = "-*-helvetica-bold-r-normal-*-12-*-*-*-*-*-*-*";

> MenuTextFont = "-*-helvetica-medium-r-normal-*-12-*-*-*-*-*-*-*";

Change the " 12 " to a " 18 " or whatever suits and save.

>ClipTitleFont = "-*-helvetica-bold-r-normal-*-10-*-*-*-*-*-*-*";

> WindowTitleFont = "-*-helvetica-bold-r-normal-*-18-*-*-*-*-*-*-*";

> MenuTitleFont = "-*-helvetica-bold-r-normal-*-18-*-*-*-*-*-*-*";

> MenuTextFont = "-*-helvetica-medium-r-normal-*-18-*-*-*-*-*-*-*";

Simple ain't it.

You can of course do the same thing through WPrefs.

Enjoy :-)
