Hi everybody
could it be possible to modify, and how, the font size of the standard "uigetdir" & "uigetfile" dialog title? I do not mean the window title (that in my understanding is fixed), but the text passed as "dialog title" in the call to the functions.
I would like to put the "prompt" in a little more visible format, like for example in bold and bigger font. It is not only an aesthetic matter, but it is in order to let the users (not myself, of course) take note of the prompt.
Thanks a lot and best regards
Claudio

If you use Windows, I think the font is controlled by the operating system and conerns to all UI elements.
If you call Java to show the dialog:
chooser = javax.swing.JFileChooser(cd);
you find the method "setFont":
methods(chooser)

I have no idea, which font is concerned, but you can explore it.

Perhaps this helps. But I expect, that it is not worth to try. It is nearly impossible to catch the attention of a user inside a standard dialog. If it is really important, display a dedicated dialog at first.

Good luck, Jan
