I'm developing/writing my own theme which will have everything in it
that I want that other themes don't have in them! Sounds arrogant but
its quite easy to do using "M-x customize-create-theme", and its fun!:)

Anyway, I use tabbar and want to have the font of that and the mode-line
smaller, but I can't find out how. Can anyone give me some pointers as
to where to look please?

Thanks
Sharon.
