Hi Ken,

Thank you for your response to my query. As I'm new to perl, can you please explain me little bit about what the following construct you added does ?

$mw->after( 'idle', [
     configure => $styleref_select_parent, 
    -background => 'cyan', 
]);
[download]

    I referred to Mastering Perl/Tk book(Oreilly Press), but I could not find anything being talked about this method named: after.

1. under what circumstances is this construct useful?
2. Also, Tk::Widget doesn't have any such method at all. So how this method gets inherited by Tk::Widget class?
3. The anonymous array passed as second parameter suprisingly has no hyphen prefixing the configure option either.
4. I was wondering if you have any answers for me to Question: 3 in the original post. (about the size of the font applied to + - indicators as well)
   Please let me know.
   Thanks again,
