I just received PB yesterday (lots of fun!) and am trying to put together the bare bones of a 'skeleton' or template type prog'.
Having a problem with the fonts ... there is one font (neat) that is default for the Menu. There is 2nd different font that is the default for any 2D graphics and there is a 3rd (different again) font that is the default for the Status bar panels. Haven't built a dialogue yet, so there may be a 4th default font lurking. The general appearance is a mess. I have control over the 2D graphics font but none of the others.
Anyone know how to change the default font that gets printed to the status bar panels?. (status default looks like timesnewRoman).
regards
john

Thanks for you comments.

Fred. Thanks. I would have included a small GIF to show the general look but I've no idea how to add it in here. The 'insert image' button just adds a "[/img]"? thingy.

Danilo. Thanks for the link info.
Tried it but no effect ;-(. The status bar seems to act as a special type of window and the gadget stuff wont touch it. I'll try to figure out what kind of API-links, PB maintains. Maybe approach it from that direction.

You have to host your image at another web address and then put its
link between those tags.
