Is there a way to enlarge the fonts size and color of the Calendar events in the TODAY screen? The current font size is too small for me.
Yea, I have same problem, while TF3D , the calendar fonts are too small and gray (on the today screen) , I can read the time , but I can't read what I have in this meeting..
If I open calendar I can see it ofcorse.. ,
I saw some threads about fonts , but those change all the TF3D fonts, I would like to change only the Calendar fonts so I can read it like without TF3D on the Today screen .
In normal way without TF3D, the Today screen fonts using Sytem fonts which you can control the size by Text Size from screen control.
Seems like TF3D does'nt care about the Text Size from screen control , and it has his own wired small fonts...
I was hoping for a better answer, but found none over the web Can someone suggest a fix? I am convinced i am not the only one who is not happy with the current font size/color.

Ciao, Andrea
I've tried to edit the files contain Color and font size in manila
for example 209b5cdc_manila
just something like
<Style Name="BlueTheme_BlackColor">
<!-- Black -->
<Property Name="Color" Value="0, 0, 0, 255" />
</Style>
but no matter how hard I tried
nothings changed.
I think it might be set in other files .
These registries will have an impact only if you turn off the TFL3D.

Changing The System Font
I haven't found a way to change the global system font (except replacing the tahoma.ttf and tahomabd.ttf files with a renamed version of the font you want). But it is possible to change some UI font by changing the "Nm" value in the following keys:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\GDI\SYSFNT\ - Treeview and Listview items
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\GWE\Menu\BarFnt\ - Menu text (on the bar itself)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\GWE\Menu\PopFnt\ - Menu items text
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\GWE\OOMFnt\Nm "Abadi MT Condensed Light" (In my case - this font renders interesting results in Contacts and Calendar, where bold characters appear in many fields. Easy to read, and small width.)

I think you didn't understand it.
it's font rendering, such as microsoft's cleartype, it's not relative to font...
thanks all the same...

My number one request is to INCREASE the FONT SIZE of SMS messages in the TouchFlo 3D MESSAGES TAB.
It's a great tab but the font size is too small for my eyes to read.
I've tried MUN zoom but it doesn't work properly.
I've also searched hi and low for a way to edit but no one seems to know how.
A registry tweak would be best but I can't find an option in there.
PS. It used to be too big on Diamonds so they over compensated and made it too small on the HD. It might be 'just right' on the next touch phone HTC invents!
Have you tried changing the font size under Settings...System...Screen?
have you tried using HD tweak? that gives you an option to change the system font size as well as the messaging font size. i found the standard fonts too small. this one works fine.

Q. Are you sure you used 'HD Tweak' to change the font size?
I can't find this setting in HD Tweak 0.5.4 (latest v).
If so, Under which heading in HD Tweak is it?
If not, which tweaking app did you use?

Yes, but this doesn't effect TouchFlo 'Messages Tab' SMS font size.
I too would like to know if this is possible. I cant see anything in Tweak HD that works.
This is also something I would like to know, the font is simply too small for such a big screen. I know Duttys Diamond Roms had the zoom feature but nothing on the HD so far...
me too ...
the font size is too small ...
and then ...
i fond in here ManilaMods from mun_rus (powered by D-MAN)_upd.09/11/08
it works on HD ...
so...
Thanks heaps...Have you tried it on the new Manilla (v3)?
i would like to know if this is possible as well thanks/
Are there any tweaks to change the colour of the font displaying Missed Calls/Calendar/Date/Alarm etc on the Home Screen (or even better, to have an opaque box behind the text)?
I have some nice photos I want to use as backgrounds, but they are mostly white so I cant see any text!
Cheers,
Doc
same for me... i wanna use a more lighter background picture. But with the white letters its not really useful.

could you please tell me if this tool works for you and your HD? I want to change my home screen font color too but i still didn`t found a way...
Thanks,

I've look also for the exactly same thing and I've reached to the following conclusion: you can't do anything about it.
I've tried tons of programs, registry editing, hexa editing etc. Spend days on the issue. Nada, nothing. I even some some experienced users saying that it can be changed almost any colors on tabs, exept the ones above.
LE: I think the most closest possibility for us to obtain this effect is to manually edit the wallpaper and place some dark boxes where the text is written, but this means that the dark boxes will apear on every other tab also.
hello...I have tried this UItweaker on my touch hd...
I tried the one to change the today screen font color...
and spinning wheel of death occured...
so I killed the UITweaker but the font color indeed changed
I soft reseted and changed it back - again spinning wheel of death - and after having back to nromal I removed it because it seems like not the program I want to my mess my phone...since it seems the device does not like it....
and anyway..i think that after having this program my google mpas started to be stupid - I dont know if it really is because of this - but now the google maps show My Location as a venezuela...that is not true, I am in middle europe...WTF I want it work again normally...
this sucks
so if you want try it, it changes the color, but it is not working flawleslly and I hate that...
The UI Tweaker only messed up my other colors, but doesen't changed the color I wanted.
Take care using it.
I also had issues with UI Tweaker, I somehow changed the background of the buttons on the home page (Phone, Programs, x button etc) to pink and couldnt change it back!
I remember seeing a Russian Rom that had black text on the home screen, so I do think its possible.
My workaround for the moment is to edit the background pic and draw an opaque box where the info is displayed.
I think it looks quite cool! It does take a bit of messing around (trial and error) to get it in the right place, and I still have to add a few more (date/alarm)... work is quite busy atm so I dont really have the time!
If I do find another way, I will post it here.
As I said, the only problem for this workaround is that in all other tabs, the background will apear with the boxes from the HOME tab.
I wonder if it is a way of having different wallpapers for each tab.
Must search that.
LE: Found that: Change wallpapers. It gives a solution how to have a different background picture for the rest of the tabs.
so simple
go to settings > home screne > scroll to color scheme & select > scroll to : text: black" then select done
I was wondering if anyone knew what font htc used for the Diamond......not the system font...more like the marketing font is the best i could explain it....
i have been altering images and it would be so much easier if i knew what font was used
Dunno what you are talking about seriously.. you are adding text in your pics?
Ok.. default font used on WM is Tahoma if I remember correctly. To have more fonts for document editing, you first need..errmm.. fonts. You should be able to copy what ever fonts you want from your Windows c:\Windows\Fonts folder. Just copy and paste what ever fonts you want to your PPC Windows\Fonts folder.
No for example if you open up a document, under Menu >> Font.. you should be able to see the new fonts you just placed in your device.
i am not talking about the system font....but the font used in the touch diamond ads.....
like the font used on the initial splash screen of the diamond
It's not a perfect match, but Etelka Light Pro with width stretched to ~125% is a close match, and you probably won't notice any difference at small font sizes.
There are still some key differences (such as rounded tops of the M, and other differences seen in the Touch 3G and MAX 4G logos). It's highly possible HTC is using an in-house custom font that is not publicly available, or are using a font similar to Etelka but specially modified for their product logos.
If you want to find other fonts that are similar, check out WhatTheFont which lets you upload an image of a logo and will scan for similar fonts.
Thank you so much.....i figured this post would get lost
Not to hijkak, but what about the font type used on screens like the dialer? Numbers and letters?
I was actually hoping this is what the original question was asking, but I see now it wasn't :/

Different weights of Helvetica Neue font family. A few specific fonts in the family I can idenfity are:
- Helvetica Neue 55, used in the dialer
- Helvetica Neue 35, used on the main page and in the upper titles of TF3D.
- Helvetica Neue 67 or 77, used in the original flip clock (lighter variations, like 57 or 47 are used in other clocks like Sprint or AT&T).
In SETTINGS - PERSONALISATION there is an option to change the font size. No matter what I set it to it won´t change...I can see it change in the preview section when I move the slider from very small to very big but that´s all.
A friend of mine has a Leo too and on his device it works perfectly. When he changes the font size it affects some applications like the SMS font size...
My ROM Version is 1.48. Anyone an idea or does someone know the REG Key for changing the font size?
