TextFieldis only for a single line case. What you want to use is a TextAreaComponent. So try to change your TextFieldcomponent by a TextArea Component

Are you using the resource editor? It will be easy for you to change the propierties of your styles using the .res file – Mun0n Aug 10 '12 at 06:56

Th resource editor is a tool that helps you to create styles, interfaces, from a user friendly application. This could be exported in a .res file and used by code. You can start here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uwZ98s4iiRU – Mun0n Aug 10 '12 at 07:06

Ok, what you need to do now is the following: Create a theme and add the font to the TextArea If you want to change the font from code---> Create another theme with the new font size and add it to the text area You need to open the res from code Resources res = Resources.open("/MyRes.res"); and later UIManager.getInstance().addThemeProps(res.getTheme("nameoftheme")); – Mun0n Aug 10 '12 at 09:54
