Modifying Balloon Help?

Casey Ransberger-2
I'd like a different font in balloon help. I'd also like to play around with other ideas, like smoothing the line around the balloon, or using a thought balloon instead of a word balloon. 

Usually the way I'd figure out how to do something like this is by pulling up a halo on the morph I want to change the behavior of, but I don't seem to be able to do that with the balloons: they tend to disappear when I try to mouse over them:)

Does anyone know where I can look to see how this stuff works?

Hi.

There is a font preference for balloon help.
See BalloonMorph for smoothing (I did that in Polymorph before changing to a square style).
