I think under windows Tk uses native OS message boxes, the original poster

I think option_add() *should* work, I don't have windows installed though, so I
cannnot try it here.
I know you can use option_readfile() as well, but if you just want to change
the default font
it seemed nicer to me if you don't need an extra file.
BTW, does this:
*tkMessageBox*background: yellow
work under windows (under linux it surely does not)?
