Spark TitleWindow's titlebar fontSize Change - apache-flex

Question

While I was trying to change the fontSize of titlebar of TitleWindows, the whole container changes to new font Size. But I do not want to achive this. I would like to get it only on the titlebar.
The code I have used (not successful)
<s:TitleWindow name="MyTitleWindow"
xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx"
title="Search"
width="1200"
height="800"
fontSize="24"
preinitialize="preInit();"
close="handleCloseEvent(event);" >

</s:TitleWindow>
I am using Flex4 and Spark.

Answer 1

I suggest you to create your own skin based on spark.skins.spark.TitleWindowSkin and change corresponding attributes of Label with id titleDisplay.
You can read more details about skinning in official documentation.
The sample skin for your window is the following (added just one attribute):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<s:SparkSkin xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009" xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
xmlns:fb="http://ns.adobe.com/flashbuilder/2009" blendMode="normal" mouseEnabled="false"
minWidth="76" minHeight="76" alpha.disabled="0.5" alpha.disabledWithControlBar="0.5">

You can apply it with external CSS file or directly in MXML:
<s:TitleWindow skinClass="MyTitleWindowSkin" />
Or in ActionScript:
myWindow.setStyle("skinClass", MyTitleWindowSkin);

Answer 2

I have managed the above issue by
<s:TitleWindow name="MyTitleWindow"
xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx"
title="Search"
width="600" height="800"
creationComplete="complete();"
close="handleCloseEvent(event);">

Actionscript Part:
private function complete():void {
trace("Style" + this.titleDisplay.getStyle("fontSize"));
this.titleDisplay.setStyle("fontSize", "30");
}
In this way I could change only the titleBar fontSize.
Hope it will help others.
