[news.eclipse.platform.swt] Re: Changing the look of a LinkLabel

["Grant Gayed" <grant_gayed@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Arnold,

I'm not sure where LinkLabel comes from, but it's not swt.  I've verified on
win32 that the Link widget allows you to change the foreground and font, but
it's possible that LinkLabel isn't using a Link.  You should ask this on a
newsgroup where LinkLabel would live.
