I have yet to be successful. I think the answer should lie in modifying your gtk theme file (.gtkrc-2.0 for GTK 2). I started by copying a theme that I liked (<a href=3D"http://www.cimitan.com/murrine/node/220">Black Diamond</a) and modifying it. That worked fine for colors, but I couldn't get any "font" qualifiers to take. Probably the Murrine engine is getting in the way, and I should start with a blank slate for the theme -- but I haven't had time to build one from scratch yet. All I really wanted this for was to reduce the footprint of the chrome on Firefox, so in the end I just installed the "Theme Font Size Changer" add-on for Firefox, and that did the trick. --=20 Sterling (Chip) Camden | sterling@camdensoftware.com | 2048D/3A978E4F http://camdensoftware.com | http://chipstips.com | http://chipsquips= .com --BI5RvnYi6R4T2M87 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (FreeBSD) iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJNATYlAAoJEIpckszW26+RIs0H/irsLCcsFiPODNSeUDMwbKAb QwkTs+73786MT8oVAfgkraqAz1ic84g8o4R/3572Av3O+3kvinyspNN3JIzb2FX2 vUg+aR0Ybaq6aoGzjImRhYAjlPgKO7tpZfTbdIcDj3X+Au98u6RGNwFyCmnr+7bT EbOHHwWOwCoDB8E5tDdyXQ9nOJ/pvMDP+31xZzPo6pTa1ICtkR7sDDZaeTNmM9Zu yfZvJOyFDLroE4cD9fd6xVnAykxch3wD/eGm35Nqy0KRVvcU+C5DpQw3R+H4lwTT hjg+4j1Ug2jdeB1VxxGdaHxvZ/58gWApid8qouUBGNgrnruAFw4sq4sUdwjnhV8= =ZqcQ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --BI5RvnYi6R4T2M87--
