Font of a toggle button to change on a toggled state?

Hi I am new to GUI so I guess this question is really simple.
I have tried the default matlab toggle button and it occurred to me that the "toggled" state is slightly high-lighted in blue and the distinction between it and its original state (gray) is not very obvious.
I would like to amplify the distinction. For example, something like the following would be great:
un-toggled state: A
toggled state: < A > (also bolded)
So in general, I would like to design a toggle button that bolds the string on the button. Also, the < > signs are added around the string.
Thank you very much

Type the following code in Togglebutton callback:
h = get(hObject,'value');
if h
set(handles.togglebutton1, 'string', 'un-toggle','fontweight','bold')
else
set(handles.togglebutton1, 'string', 'toggle', 'fontweight','normal')
end
For more property changes, go through uicontrol properties
doc uicontrol

h = get(hObject,'value');
if h
set(handles.togglebutton1, 'string', 'A','fontweight','bold')
else
set(handles.togglebutton1, 'string', '<A>', 'fontweight','normal')
end
Is what I asked for exactly but I give you credit. Thanks
