Hi everyone:
I need to change the font size of the title string in a TitleAreaDialog.I have found that modifying the \org\eclipse\jface\resource\jfacefonts.properties in org.eclipse.rap.jface_1.2.0.20090616-1425.jar could make it work which means I have to make changes to the RAP config files directly in the jar file.
So I wish to know, can I change the font size without changing RAP itself or creating a new fragment project? And how? If I can achieve this by theme, what key word should I use?
Or, If I have to create a new fragement project, do I have to make it EPL and opensource?
Thanks and Best Regards

Hi Holger:
Thanks a lot for you information.
I followed your direction, but it did not work at all 
Actually, I extended the org.eclipse.ui.newWizard extension point and the WizardDialog is instantiated within the NewWizardAction itself so I am not able to control the instance of WizardDialog directly, you know.
So I called the setData method in a subclass of WizardPage when override the createControl(Composite parent) method with the following code:
this.getContainer().getShell().setData(WidgetUtil.CUSTOM_VAR IANT, "mySample");
In the css file, I coded something like this:
Shell.mySample {
font: 12px Verdana, "Lucida Sans", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
color: blue;
}
and the theme and branding are both extended.
But all these steps made no differences...
(I also tried to setData in subclass of Wizard, the effect was the same...)
Did I missed anything?
Thanks and Best Regards!

Hi Christian,
ok this sounds not good. I tooked a closer look at TitleAreaDialog. it
seems that the title will be displayed in the private Label titleLabel.
To change this text you need to set a CustomVariant on this Label. The
bad thing is, you have no opportunity to access this field. Another
solution would be to change the global font of Labels. But I think this
is not what you want. So, the conclusion is, you have no clean
possibility to change this font.
Hope this helps.
Regards Holger

Christian,
you might also want to cc yourself on this bug:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=280773
I think, until we have a solution for this one, the fragment approach is
probably the easiest workaround.
Best regards, Ralf
