gxmessage alternative that lets you change font
Is there an alternative to gxmessage that lets you change the font size of the messages it displays ?

I believe zenity will let you apply Pango markup to your text

Thanks.

Hi! I'm the author of gxmessage.
The font (including size) for the main message can be given like this: $ gxmessage -font 'sans 50' 'Hello, world!' $ gxmessage -font 'serif 50' 'Hello, world!' $ gxmessage -font 'mono 50' 'Hello, world!' $ gxmessage -font 'Comic Sans MS 50' 'Hello, world!' The button text, however, depends on your GTK theme. If the -font option isn't working for you, please get in touch so I can check it out :) Thanks, Tim |
Thanks.
The window for this message is not large enuf to show the whole message. Is there a limit to the window size. Quote:

Before version 2.20.4, there was a silly bug that screwed up automatic window sizing. If you have the latest version (2.20.4), it should be fine.
Gxmessage is supposed to open a window sized according to the text you feed it, up to a maximum of 70% screen width and 70% screen height. (That's what xmessage does, so gxmessage is supposed do behave the same way.) If the default window size isn't big enough, take a look at the -geometry option: -geometry 1000x50 -geometry 1000x50+80+80 Or try the -wrap option, which switches on word-wrapping. See gxmessage -help and man gxmessage for more info :) |
Thanks.
I have version 2.12. How do I get version 2.20 ? PPM does not have it. |
