Modifying listview example:

using the statement: " ren\_attr(:song, :size=18)"  
changes the text font size of :song column,  
but does not change the textfont size of the column title.

What is the example statement to change the title text size  
of column :song?

Thanks, John

In the listview example there’s a method that set the alignment of the  
header:

def center\_\_toggled(\*argv)  
val = @builder[“center”].active? ? 0.5 : 0  
col\_alignment(:artist =\> val)  
repaint  
end

This is setting a property in the Gtk::TreeViewColumn object. I don’t  
see a way to get access to the text inside the title except that there  
is a widget property:

Perhaps you can get that widget, check its type and set the text size???
