The highlighting by color I already got working, but I was looking for a way to change the text size of the entry so it was larger than normal. I did also manage after several hours of trial and error figure out that it is somewhat cumbersome changing size of the displayed font in the entry. <-- excerpt from my code --> Gtk.Style entstyle = entry_winWoDetail_wo.Style; entstyle.FontDescription.Size = (int) ( entstyle.FontDescription.Size * Pango.Scale.Large ); entry_winWoDetail_wo.ModifyFont(entstyle.FontDescription); entry_winWoDetail_ac.ModifyFont(entstyle.FontDescription); entry_winWoDetail_description.ModifyFont(entstyle.FontDescription); entry_winWoDetail_opened.ModifyFont(entstyle.FontDescription); _______________________________________________ Gtk-sharp-list maillist - [email protected] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/gtk-sharp-list
