Wireshark · Ethereal-dev: RE: [Ethereal-dev] how to set color or bold to text in the protocoltree window

["Vladimir Zherdenovsky" <Vladimir.Zherdenovsky@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I want to separate the protocol tree item name from its value. It will
be fine use the bold font or set the color.
Its will help to people, using the ethereal as analyzer, see the name
and values. Because now its looks too gray and monotone.

Given that dissectors run as part of Tethereal, they include no GUI 
code, and thus don't know about colors or fonts.

What is the purpose of setting the color?  Is there some particular 
characteristic of a protocol tree item you want to indicate?  If so, we 
could add an API to set a characteristic on a protocol tree item, and 
have that protocol item, when displayed in Ethereal, be displayed with, 
for example, a given font or color (either hardwired into Ethereal, or 
configurable by the user as a preference item).
