Greetings all;

I am under the impression that the xml file rendering for pyvcp is 
actually done by tkinter.  Is this correct?

In which case we might be able to add a "pin" to a "text" box to direct a 
bgcolor change for use as a status indicator.  Or maybe even 2 pins with 
the second controlling fgcolor?  This would encourage the use of bold 
fonts just to make the color more obvious for aging eyeballs. And since 
the height of a text box seems related to the fonts height, can we get 
rid of a line of background buffer above and below the space actually 
occupied by the font?  IMO its wasted space that could be used for other 
things.

And it would save me nominally 50% of the vertical space now occupied by 
pyvcp stuff on the sheldon's axis display, making room for other things 
not yet considered, like a slightly bigger tach dial. In fact it would 
be helpfull on all my machines.

Am I correct that this will take editing the tkinter sources for this 
stuff?

Thanks.
