    Can you enable Cleartype on just one program?

    Using Vista Business here.

    I am getting into using Blender for my design needs.

    However, Blender seems to use a light grey background with dark grey fonts. NOT good to read all the time. It hurts to sit there and really focus on it.

    Is there a way to use cleartype on just Blends so I can at least get a thicker font? I know that's not exactly what Cleartype does, but that's how I see it when I enable it for the whole system. Thicker is the best word I can think of to describe it >.>

    Thanks!

    You can use the ClearType Tuner to get better control over your ClearType settings, which will hopefully make it better system-wide for you. But I don't believe that you can set those options per-application. Blender also does it's own graphics for most internal windows, rendering them in OpenGL, so you may not even get the benefit of ClearType on it at all.

    Hmmm, interesting. Maybe I can just find a way to change the program fonts then...
