Very nice. I needed some bigger fonts though, especially for fullscreen use, and I added this to your code. It works well on linux. I just tucked the code in between the new MainWindow and geometry lines.

$w{mw} = MainWindow->new;

################  aded for font control ############3
use Tk::FontDialog;

my $fd = $w{mw}->FontDialog(-nicefont => 0,
               -title => 'Select Font',
               -applycmd => \&apply_font,
               -familylabel => 'Schrift~familie',
               -fixedfontsbutton => 1,
               -nicefontsbutton => 1,
              );


my $b = $w{mw}->Button(-text => 'Choose Font',
                  -bg => 'lightyellow',
                  -command => sub {
                     my $font = $fd->Show;
                      apply_font($font);
                  })->pack;

sub apply_font {
    my $font = shift;
    if (defined $font) {
        $b->configure(-font => $font);
        $w{mw}->RefontTree(-font => $font, -canvas => 1);
    }
}
############### end of font control ######################

$w{mw}->geometry('600x480');

• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
