TBalloonLabel's height can't be changed, but for short captions (and
format.wrap = false) it seems to be too big. Attached a screenshot.

I just created one and it doesn't look like yours. Are you sure you are
looking at the current release interface version? It looks all fine to
me.

(That said the icon selection is in big need of some icons that make
sense here...)

Thanks for this hint - yes, an old interface file was in the search
path. Problem solved.

Matthew,

The icons that are included with EWB are mostly there for the example projects.  The general thought here is that I don't want to bloat applications with unneeded icons, and in most cases the icons probably won't fit what the application developer wants/needs.

I heartily recommend Axialis for icons, though:

And soon EWB will support custom web fonts, so you'll be able to just use icon fonts, which have some distinct advantages in terms of sizing/coloring.

Font Awesome support please! That will be a MASSIVE upside for EWB 2. As you suggest, sizing and color, but also availability, ease of use, lightweight and professional. I'm a pretty big fan ............. :-|

Mark,

<< Font Awesome support please!  >>

Web fonts = Font Awesome

There's no special support needed for icon fonts, and you can use Font Awesome or any other icon font just like a normal font.  There is one little change that is required for specifying character codes in the caption property, but that's a minor change.
