You probably want to establish a standard look for text that is in your application. There are four kinds of text whose properties you can specify in the Application painter: text, header, column, and label.
PocketBuilder provides default settings for the font, size, and style for each of these and a default color for text and the background. You can change these settings for an application in the Application painter and can override the settings for a window, user object, or DataWindow object.
Properties set in the Database painter override application
properties
If extended attributes have been set for a database column
in the Database painter or Table painter, those font specifications
override the fonts specified in the Application painter.
To change the text defaults for an application:
In the Properties view, click Additional Properties and select one of the following:
Text Font tab
Header Font tab
Column Font tab
Label Font tab
The tab you choose displays the current settings for the font, size, style, and color. The text in the Sample box illustrates text with the current settings.
Review the settings and make any necessary changes:
To change the font, select a font from the list in the Font list.
To change the size, select a size from the list in the Size list or type a valid size in the list.
To change the style, select a style (Regular, Italic, Bold, or Bold Italic) from the Font styles list.
To change font effects, select one or more from the Effects group box (Strikeout and Underline).
To change the text color, select a color from the Text Color list. (You do not specify colors for data, headings, and labels here. You do that in the DataWindow painter.)
To change the background color, select a color from the Background list.
When you have made all the changes, click OK.
