11:25 a.m.
I use the remind-gui calendar which displays a one month page using
"Tcl/tk" whatever that is? I would like to be able to change the font
displayed to bold or better yet bold white on a black background.
Can anyone tell me how to change this?

Good, knowing that I was able to effect a considerable improvement [for
me] in the calendar display:
# Adjust font defaults for screen size
proc SetFonts {} {
global SetFontsWorked
set h [winfo screenheight .]
if {$h <= 1480} {
# Small screen (maybe eeepc?)
font configure TkDefaultFont -size 14
font configure TkFixedFont -size 12
font configure TkDefaultFont -weight bold
font configure TkFixedFont -weight bold
}
set SetFontsWorked 1
}
main
I had to change the line " if {$h <= 1480} { " for the changes to be
recognized. I would have liked to change the color scheme too but could
not get that tp work, perhaps with some more time spent reading the
tcl.tk instructions.
Thanks for the help,
Bob

Well, if nothing else I've learned that "patch" is a bash command and
has a man page.
But I am still doing something wrong:
[root@box10 tmp]# patch < --- tkremind.ORG2014-12-07 13:28:30.822795726
+0100
bash: ---: No such file or directory
You are expected to give it the _filename_ of the patch file, NOT the
contents of that file.
Alternatively, you can also open the tkremind program with your favourite
text editor and edit it yourself to apply the changes you see in the patch
file. Lines in the patch file starting with '+' are to be added, lines
starting with '-' are to be deleted. Without the leading +/-, of course.
The patch only adds two lines to a procedure called SetFonts later than
line 2922, so that will be easy to do with an editor, too.
Reading up on how to use "patch" is highly recommended, though, for anyone
who wants to apply larger patch files.

You can add these two lines(without pluses) directly to a file(/bin/tkremind), copy/paste
method.
Otherwise, in this case
# cp /bin/tkremind /bin/tkremind-bkp
# patch /bin/tkremind patchfile
or only
# patch --backup /bin/tkremind patchfile
which will patch & produce backup file /bin/tkremind.orig

Not without modyfing source. Here is the patch to make fonts bold.
This was easy.
Colors are dynamic: active, disabled, ...

I'll have another try at it this morning.

I backed it up before I began messing with it.
For whatever reason the "patch" does not work. I was hoping that if I
could change one characteristic I would be able to extrapolate a little
bit of knowledge and change a few other things to make it easier for me
to read.
However at this point I will give up and just live with what I have
until I can find something that does what I want. For years I simply
made notes on a monthly paper calendar page. Tkremind lets me do the
same on the computer with a few extras. It works well enough, it's just
that I need more contrast, thought bold text would be workable, prefer
white text on black which I use for everything else.
Thanks to everyone for the responses,
Bob
