Control the size of the content in a zenity window?

Question

I can control the size of a zenity window with the --width and the --height arguments:

$ zenity --info --text=\"This is an information          


        

Answer 1

Zenity allows some markup like , or . In fact it's Pango Markup. So larger text can be achieved with a span that has a font or size attribute:

For example:

zenity --info --text 'Some\nbig text\n\n(it is also blue)'

Note that font="32" is another way to write size="32768" since size is in 1024ths of a point. font="32" is a partial font description containing only a size. See the documentation page.

zenity --info --text 'Normal Big Bigger'

To increase the font size without specifying an exact size.
