I love the GTK theming aspects that have been put in, but apparently some people who run other desktop environments are having problems viewing my app properly. Specifically the latest is running WindowMaker (and I assume GnuStep) and his fonts are so big that it's unusable. Is there an easy way to change the fonts for all components and labels on a form? I tried setting the form's font property to no avail. -Tony

1st, changing the font of all components doesn't work yet.. I am trying to figure out how to change this, but it's something that needs a lot of thinking out, so I have no idea how long it will be.

2nd, GTK is GTK is GTK. not the WM. If the Font is too big, it is because the GTK theme or GTK Font Override value is too big. NOT because of the WM or desktop they are running. So basicaly, they need to change the font they are using for GTK, or they need to change the GTK theme or....

WindowMaker is just a window manager, isn't it? Does this problem occurs in his other GTK+ apps as well? Perhaps they have broken/misconfigured their GTK+ theme? Perhaps Lazarus does not initialize something in GTK+ properly, though WFM on my machine. Michal

Actually, he claims to not run a desktop manager - just WindowMaker because he can run everything in 384k of RAM (though he has more - he's running a hugh screen res as well) I think he's actually running GnuStep with it.

He says he has the GTK+ libraries installed, but isn't sure if he's got a complete Gnome.
