Is it possible to reduce the font size for the details text.  I can't always get the name in - it is truncated so I lose the number at the end when I have disk 1 to x of a series so I have to have larger thumb nails than I would like. In options I can globally change the font but I want just to change it for Details text not for all the menus etc.  Can I put in a carriage return to make it split over 2 lines.

You can use the html font size command in thumbnail text, e.g.  <font size = "85%> <//font>. There are also commands for bold, italics, underline and color. The are described in the HTML Font Properties section of the Expression Language section of the Wiki. You can put that in a conditional that only uses the smaller font if the string is longer than x characters (Length(...)).

Here is an example that works for anyone else trying to do this. I started with
[Artist]
[Name]
for thumbnail text.

This below reduces the font size for Album to 90% of what it was.

<font size="90" >[Album]<//font>
[Artist]

should be <font size="85%">[Artist]</font>

it's standard html, which i'm bad at but thankfully google will easily tell you what you need for basic stuff like this

edit:  you got there before me.

Thanks for the help.  Appreciated.   btw you don't put in % so it is
<font size="85">[Artist]</font>

The closing element needs to be <//font> since / is a special character in MC.

% is optional.
