You need to use markup in the Properties.

If the text on the label is "My Label", change it to "<span weight="bold">My Label</span>". Here you get bold.

For a full list of available markup attributes, see
http://library.gnome.org/devel/pango/unstable/PangoMarkupFormat.html

I hope this helps.

They should make it easier.
In Visual Basic, you just select Color, and then pick a color to use.

This is too difficult and stupid.

Also, how do you change the color of a button?

This is very uninnovative and stupid.

My first thought was as above, its so much simpler in Visual Basic, there must be an easier way.

And then I used it and realised how it works, you can do so much more than what is possible in Visual Basic. Now VB seems uninnovative and stupid.
