which one is the simpsons screenshot? Have you tried DFBSee and DFBPoint?

It is very easy to change the font size of GTK+ widgets. One approach is
to add something like this to gtkrc-2.0:
style "huge-font-style"
{
font_name = "sans 24"
}
class "GtkWidget" style "huge-font-style"
All GTK+ widgets are keyboard navigationable. Sometimes some special
logic is needed to assure that the focus stays in the right place.
We have developed a couple of custom widgets based on GTK+-DirectFB,
but I'm sorry we can't give that code away.
Salut, Sven
