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?

Not without modyfing source. Here is the patch to make fonts bold. This was easy. Colors are dynamic: active, disabled, ... http://www.tcl.tk/man/tcl8.5/TkCmd/options.htm Too much for me. BR, Bob

Ok, I thank you for this information but I don't know how or where to apply a patch. I tried /home/bobg/.tkremindrc without success, it produces several errors and .tkremindrc is normally an empty file anyway which leads me to believe I'm looking in the wrong place?

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:

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

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
Btw, how does tkrewind compare with osmo, also available in the Fedora repos?
Also, is there an easy way to reload the necessary files in either of them?
Many thanks, Ranjan

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

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.

Thanks much for this information! That's what I was looking for.
I'll have another try at it this morning.
Again, thanks,

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
