Have you coded in GTK before? The functions in C are pretty 
straightforward in uigeneral.c for labels. So if you know the GTK 
commands to run on the widget it would be very easy to do this. I can 
help, I just not sure how in GTK you modify colours and layout.

I'll mark this as a bug to add this feature in.
Should take a week or so normally to get it added.
Tags will likely be height and width.

I believe I explicity name them because the order of fields can be 
different if we use bondreplicate and have two different databases, so 
it explicitiy adds field name nw. I can change that to.

I commited work for update, let me know if it works. Its in bonddb.
