Thanks! Fixing the typo in the call to rowStyler and changing the switching
script worked.
It's embarrassing to have two big typos ... but I stop seeing them after
I've been staring at the screen a while.
I'll triple check the iconCoder stuff for boneheaded mistakes, but
meanwhile, does anyone have a fix for event labels in Timeline wrapping
strangely when you change the font size or face?
