[edit] Types of Fonts
By standardizing the font styles into a few variations, Stixe ensures the consistency of the appearance of the skin. All controls of the Stixe interfaces will get the font information from these entities. These types of fonts are defined according to the function of the controls:
- Default Font: All entries that are not specified will be applied the Default Font settings.
- Default Title Font: Used in special headers to emphasize a text, such as the SuperTooltip title.
- Default Group Font: Used in Group items in list controls, meaning a higher level of item in the hierachy.
- Panel Title Font: Used in the headers of Panel elements, or top portion of List Frames.
- Window Title Font: Used in the top caption of Window Frames.
- Small Window Title Font: Used in the top caption of Small Window Frames.
An example of how these types of fonts are used in the default skin of 3.0, Trillian Whistler, is illustrated below:
