Shelf Font Size?

[user_deleted]

Does anyone know if there is a way to change the ridiculously huge font size maya uses by default to overlay the name of a mel script button on the shelves? I'm not talking about the desctription that comes up if you hang your mouse over the icon, but about the actual text burned into the icon... it can only fit like 4 letters.

Theres none that i know of. On the otherhand a shelf item can be any of the gui items so you could definitely make the text smaller but not as a shelf button.

wow that blows... I'm using pose2shelf, which is GENIUS, but it gives each pose icon a (vital) name, and you can only read 3-4 letters of it... major drag. Almost defeats the purpose of this great mel script...

Put a dropdown menu on the shelf instead?

Are you talking about the "label & tooltips" field in the shelf editor? It doesn't sound like you are, but if you are, there's a 1-2 second pause before that context help appears when you put your cursor on the icon... that's way too slow. If I could adjust that time to be zero, then that would work....
Otherwise what do you mean by drop-down menu (on a shelf button)?

Maya can assign any gui items ina ashelf. NOT just normal 32 x32 shelfbuttons. So you could make a 64x32 button on your shelf if you wished it would now fiit 8 letters. Or you could use other gui item suiuch a s adropdown menu.

That would be perfect, but how do I do it?
