Thank you Yuri. You response appeared to illuminate me about TLB Settings...
It had always puzzled me because I'd missed its 'obvious' purpose of providing defaults.
So I checked my default settings and checked some menus which I hadn't changed from default.
The 'defaulted' menus didn't match TLB Settings...
Not surprising, you might say, if the default values are inserted when a menu is generated.
So I tried a little experiment. I set all of the 'default fonts' to @Arial Unicode MS size 14.
I then created a new menu, choosing the predefined menu All Control Panel Items, but leaving everything else to default.
Lo and behold, the menu was generated with a font which was @Adobe Fan Heiti Std B and looked like size 9.
No wonder I didn't realise that TLB Settings... were supposed to be defaults.
Such an occurrence - on something which should be so trivial - is all-too-common with TLB.
If I ever get the time I'll send you another 20 - unless you suggest that I'm wrong, of course.
None of your competitors suffers from such basic failings, but your design is far superior to theirs.
I use version 7.3 64-bit.
