Hello, I have a very poor vision and sometimes I can hardly read the ID of the incoming caller in my MDA PRO.
When I used my old Qtek 9090, the "caller ID" application let you decide the text size, now this feature is integrated in outlook, but I found no way to adjust this parameter...
Of course I have put the OS text size to its maximum, but I'd bette have it a little bigger..
Can you please help me? thanke
If I'm not mistaken, an application such as Tweaks2k2 can change the default font, although I'm not sure about the font sizes.
I know that Nyditot's rotate program has a nifty setting that will allow you to change the font size, exactly like the appearance tab in Windows. Bit much to buy the program just for that option, though.

Thanks a lot for answering, unfortunately none of the two applications is what I'm looking for, Nyditot magnifies the screen indeed, but I wish I had something only affecting the "dialer" aspect, in order to easily read the caller's number or name with a glance, Regarding the other application or pages I'd better levae them as they are..
I suppose there is something to tweak in the registry, or a "skin modifier" for the dialer, but I did not find anything like that so far..
for all the rest I love this PDA, I would neve go back to something without a real keypoard and such a wonder connectivity...

Something i REALLY hate with Windows Mobile, is the complete waste of the display. Everything is written with tiny ugly font, instead of a big clear font (i know you can change font size, but that only applies to some few things).
On incoming calls, theres LOTS of space to display caller id/name, but no, it only displays it with a tiny font leaving 90% of the dialog with white pixels, so it's impossible to see it if you have your phone mounted in your car.
Does anyone know if it's possible to change fonts size of the incoming call dialog, or some third party application that replace the entire screen?
I tried a search, but i don't really know what I should search for?

If you want something for PICTURES of contacts of incoming calls, you could try ProPhotoContacts, I use that a little and it just displays a large pic of the caller and some info ( you can choose between business style, personal, or just name and number to be displayed.)
If you just want larger text, idk what you could use for that, but there are many good 3rd party contacts apps that do what you are looking for.

I don't want pictures - i just want the number/name to be readable from 1 meter distance - so i guess i need some 3rd party application to replace the default dumb dialog.
But i haven't found any, and i'm really not sure what keywords i should use? Have anyone found an appliaction like that?

That's a darn good ?. Even the pictures assigned to my contacts are too small to see who it is calling. Luckily I have different ring tones to each of my contacts, I know who's calling by the ring tone.
I remember there was an app for Symbian that allowed for full screen caller ID pictures. Don't remember which one it was... my last Symbian phone was the Pana X700 and I stopped using that back in summer of '05 when I discovered the Blue Angel.
But there's got to be something for WM as well. Have you checked all the freeware sites?
there's been a thread within the wizard forums about this app that changes the caller id bubble and is very customizable. Im gonna go look for it, and if I find it Ill report back

Anybody Know?
I was wondering if anyone knew how to magnify just the picture of who is calling. That link above is great but it has all these additional features that i'm not interested in...i think my phone might explode if i put more softwares like that on it. I just want to be able to make the picture of incoming calls large. I have photo contacts pro and I don't like it. When an unknown caller is calling then it's completely useless...more importantly it doesn't recongnize callers from your sim card...that is why i stopped using it....if anyone knows that would really make my day
You could always make a jpeg with big bold letters of the contacts name and save it to their photo contact...
I want to change the font size of short message. Which item shall i modify in register? Thanks
Settings -> System Tab -> Screen -> Text Size tab
Move the slider towards largest.
Going Blind With Small Font On Caller Id 8525
I KNOW there are NUMEROUS 8525 users out there who find it difficult (really difficult in the case of my wife and I) to read the incoming caller ID name and number. The existing font option does not affect the phone. Has anyone been able to come up with a way to make these fonts (and those in some other areas of the phone) easier to see? I would PAY for a fix to this. (t's so bad that my wife is already checking out the Blackberry 8310.)
Thanks.

I was really hoping someone would have a solution to this problem, by now...

Hello,
I've tried the search function, but either I do not see it or there is nothing.
I installed the S2U software and I really like it, but I don't really need it. The only thing I really want to keep is the big caller picture from S2U.
Because I have a lot of other SW installed on my Wizard I would like to remove all unused programs from memory, which means also S2U.
Is there a way to keep the really nice caller picture or is there any other SW out there (Freeware?) which can do the same withour the "big" memory footprint of S2U?
Thanks for your help
Huibuh_1
Nope....
the callerid portion is intergrated into s2u2.
And honestly, the memory footprint is not that big for what it does. If you use a large animated .gif for your background, the footprint will get bigger, but a small .jpg is nothing in terms of footprint size.
How can you not want to lock your phone from those unwanted accidental calls!?

Thanks for your answer. I was just trying to delete whatever application I do not really need.

It's easy: I switch off my phone (only with the short press of the Power-button) and the only button to wake my phone is the Power-button. I never had any troubles with unwanted calls or something like this. And S2U is at the moment just another (additional) step to get to my today-Screen. That's why I disabled it.
Regards
Huibuh_1
read the instructions that comes with S2U - there is a way to disable the lock function and only use the callerID.

I have read the instructions and disabled the lock-function (see my reply above). My idea was to delete the unwanted part of the SW to have more memory available.
But thanks anyhow

You need a background picture that you like.
With a text editor you can change place, hight, etc in the .css file

mmmm sorry I have no answer for this..... I see you are using Dutty 3.8 he now has 3.9 which is very good maybe just try a new ROM and test the dialer before installing anything else.......hope that can help
I have recently bought an HTC Diamond2 and upgraded its ROM to the official WM6.5, still using TouchFLO 3D. I have set the character size to the largest available size (through Settings), yet the character size in 'Contacts', SMS text and the digits when I dial a phone number is too small for my eyes.
Is there a Registry Tweak or Utility to further increase the character/font size?
I use a utility from here to zoom in/out text from SMS text, which is good but not adequate (NB that no sliding bars appear for the text to be read properly but...).
In addition, mine is bought from the Netherlands, yet I installed the official Greek WM6.5 ROM.
I tried RealVGA, but a single DPI is available (hence useless).
Thanks in advance for any information.
there is a magnifying program for the phone. Maybe this is something for you?

i believe the real life application: "reading glasses" might also be appropriate here
jokes aside, magnification programs are easy to use. search for them in this forum. a few available i think.
I do own the real-life application "reading glasses"; the problem is that when I am about and the phone rings, it is not easy to take the 'application' out of my pocket and 'run' it.
I have also installed the Zoom In/Out application for SMS.
Nevertheless I am surprised there is no information on how to change the character DPI under WM6.5 or the screen resolution.
Thank you again for your answers
The fontsize from the SMS tab can be found in a _manila-File.
But i forgot in which file... You could ask a rom cook, who build in a biger SMS font.
I changed the font on Manila 2.1, but not on 2.5 with Mode9 editor.

Try this:

You can just use the slider to enlarge the text in SMS and emails.
As far as the system text.... maybe Advanced Config?
Thank you, but the proposed application does not run for some reason (I have install the latest mobile .net framework (version 3.7). Should I use 3.5 instead?
As for the last reply, I have set the character size to maximum from the Settings, but they are too small due to the small screen size compared to the resolution.
Judging from a LG GT500 I would say that a resolution of about 320x200 (or slightly higher) would be alright, but I know neither the Registry setting (if one is available) or a working application that can do the trick.
Thanks again for the replies though.
Try NET CF v3.5.
