Changing comic book theme font type and size? Is it possible?

short answer: No.

long answer: yes .. Themes in iM09 are made with an Apple-technology called QUARTZ. when you open the iM-package (ctrl-click) and dig deeper into it, you'll find someday these .qtz files. With the Quartz-Composer, part of the DevTools, you are able to modify these.. e.g. changing a font. I did that with by-far less elaborated .qtz items of iM (titles).

a) not trivial task, QC has a very .. 'unique' GUI ..
b) you modify the existing file - which is a violation of the End-User-Licence-Agreement plus ...
c) you 'danger' the whole app ..

or, in short .. No 😉

btw: Welcome WeatherReport to the  boards ... 😀

I have a similar issue. I read your response but please excuse my ignorance. Where will I find the Quartz-composer and DevTools?

Dev Tools are an optional install on the disks you got with the Mac.

as Keith already mentioned: the Developer Tools is an optional installation, which is on the Installation Disk any Mac comes with.

HINT!
Do a backup of your main drive! You fumble deep inside a stable app/iMovie. DevTools are no 'beginner'-apps, no command-z, no 'back to original', no support here.

... but no real rocket-science .. 🙂

Thanks for responding to this and to my other post where I vented my frustration of not being able to change the color scheme of the sports theme.

I did see this post before I posted mine, and I saw a few other similar posts. I did find the devtools and quartz-composer - interesting stuff!

My question now is - how do I find the .qtz files related to the sports theme? I looked under application support for the IMovie folder (as someone in another post suggested to do for iMovie 09) - BUT there isn't one for iMovie 11!!! or am I blind?

I also tried doing a search, came across a whole bunch of .qtz files, but short of going through every single file, and even then not knowing if I'd have the right ones, I am at a loss.

Thanks for the advice to backup my hard drive first. I will do that before delving into this, for sure.

I am really surprise there is no third party plugin for additional theme choices. and disappointed 😟 There is only so many times one can use a theme...

such components are INSIDE the app ..
crtl-click/'right click' on iMovie, Show Package, folder Resources ... but no further advices here for 'illegal' activities ... 😉
