Re: Can I "improve" the Looks of Xine-ui's Menus OR Can I Setup Gxine to Perform as Well as Xine-ui?

i can answer myself on the first part - the colors are coded as decimal 
numbers. so, red in hex #ff0000 becomes 16711680. white #ffffff becomes 
16777215, and so on.

is it possible to change the font? i tried the format 
-*-fixed-medium-r-*-*-12-*-*-*-*-*-*-* as well as fixed or Fixed - no 
effect.

apart from that, i'm also still interested in my 2nd question.

cheers.

daniel
