Is there anyway to alter the basic font and size in the Hints.
I would like my Hints to stand out more
I am using D1

Regards and thanks

Einar

I don't know a way of changing the font and size, but you can change the
colour using Application.HintColor.

Is it as simple as creating your own Create procedure to override the
source such as

{ THintWindow }

constructor THintWindow.Create(AOwner: TComponent); Override;
begin
  inherited Create(AOwner);
  Color := MyColor;
  with Canvas do
  begin
    Font.Name := MyFont;
    Font.Size := MySize;
    Brush.Style := MyBrush;
  end;
end;

Am I on a close track?

There is information in the help files, but it's kind of sketchy.

This is a quick and dirty way to change the font of the hints.
The searching for the THintWindow is nog very nice. Anybody knows a
better way to do this ?

procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
var c:TComponent;
      i:integer;
          t:=THintWindow;
begin
     for i:=0 to application.componentcount-1 do
     begin
          if application.components[i] is THintwindow then
          begin
               t:=Thintwindow(application.components[i]);
               t.canvas.font.size:=15;
               t.canvas.font.color:=clWhite;
          end;
     end;
end;
