Changing the font size of anOptionMenu widget

[Angel]

I am changing the font of an OptionMenu widget:

w = OptionMenu(master, variable, "one", "two", "three")

with

w.configure(....)

That changes the font of the widget but how can I change also the font (size) of the menu that appears when the mouse clicks it?

Thanks in advandce,

A.

Ignoring the fact that the Tkinter.Optionmenu is by far the worst widget inthe toolkit, not to mention that the whole idea of "Tkinter X_Variables" was a poor attempt to reuse code at the expense destroying the simple and intuitive interface of "get" and "set"; here is your answer:

## START CODE ##
from Tkinter import *
master = Tk()
variable = StringVar(master)
variable.set("one") # default value
optMenu = OptionMenu(master, variable, "one", "two", "three")
optMenu.pack()
# Get the menu
menu = optMenu.nametowidget(optMenu.menuname)
menu.configure(font=('Impact', 30))
mainloop()
## END CODE ##

PS: You could have probably intuited the answer yourself if you used the dir() function on "w". Of course you probably would have expected the Optionmenu to have a reference to the submenu. It does, however not a direct reference.

PPS: Or, if you prefer information overload you could have called "help(w)"..

That was what I was missing, the '.nametowidget'. It worked like a charm:

o1=Tkinter.OptionMenu(t,v3, "€", "$")
o1.config(font=self.font)
o1.nametowidget(o1.menuname).config(font=self.font)

Thanks!
