Sounds good to me. Feel free! Here's a little experiment: http://www.kirilla.com/tmp/about/about_font_resizing.png (Not meant as an example of what content should be in the alert.) void ProcessController::AboutRequested() { BAlert *alert = new BAlert("about", "ProcessController\n\n" "Copyright 1997-2001,\n" "Georges-Edouard Berenger.\n\n" "Copyright " B_UTF8_COPYRIGHT " 2006 Haiku, Inc.\n", "Close"); BTextView *view = alert->TextView(); BFont font; view->SetStylable(true); view->GetFont(&font); font.SetFace(B_BOLD_FACE); font.SetSize(font.Size() * 1.5); view->SetFontAndColor(0, 17, &font); // *** app name bold and 1.5 size plain font // *** Is 1.5 too much ? alert->Go(); } Might be nice to have the grey stripe and the icon scale as well. /Jonas.
