One nice tweak for the Xperia

The menues in like Outlook are incredible small, use this tweak from the Diamond tweak thread to make them more finger friendly
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\system\gwe\menu\popfnt
and change the value for the "Ht" entry to "1000" decimal
Now I just need to change the startmenu for it is also incredible small - and the HTCenlargestartmenu cab available makes the start menu funny on Swedish OS. In English OS I am sure it will work fine and it also sets the menues bigger like in the regtweak above

Cheers! This is just the sort of thing we'll need once we start getting our X1's :]

You can make it a lot easier if you use SK-Tools. You can make a lot of changes including the font-sizes. No need for manual changes and it has a set-back-function, if I remember well. I used it for my G900 too, which has WVGA too at the same size

I must be blind, I have owned this app since years but i have not found how to change the startmenu size - must look harder

Start sk-tools, then tune-up, then got through the tabs at the bottom to fonts or so (after colours, sorry, I have the german version and don't know the english names), there the 8. point is menu-bar-font-size (or so). Play here and you see the start-menu grow But remember, it needs a softreset to get the new settings!

Found it but it does not change the size of the startmenu

What do you mean with the size of the start menu? If you make the font bigger, the start menu, using this font, gets bigger too. I have tried it and got a start menu up to nearly the width of the screen (much too big).

Disable TouchFlo 2D under Settings Today Items.

That didnt change anything. i also would like to keep the TF2D Today Plugin

Maybe there is a TF2D theme with smaller items.

Im not talking about touchflo (but maybe theres a connection) but about all the standard windows menus. they used to be much smaller on my previous winmo device.
Its the scroll buttons which are bugging me when menus get long...

I found a solution in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=398265 htc diamond tweaks
32. Change system and context menu font size:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\system\gwe\menu\popfnt
and change the value for the "Ht" entry to "1000" decimal (from 1200)

The original value for the touch 3g is 1050, i changed it to 700, which was a little too small, and now i have 800, which is about perfect

Could you please to clarify which is bigger font size "1050" or "700"

1050 is the original value, which is pretty big. 700 is really small and imho 800 is a great value, you can go higher for better thumb-ability

Copy "LS_LockScene_480x800.cpr" to your computer.
Open it with notepad (or similar).
Change the font size of the part you want to (e.g. "Date text")
Copy the file back to your phone (\Windows\Lockscreen)

[Q] WM5 on Trinity: how to change accessibility?

Hello, I would like to use a larger font for SMS in my Trinity (WM5).
How can I do it?
Do you know a system utility that can manage fonts?
Thanks.

Font key to get better screen in all apps(works on almost every device)

Hey guys today am going to share a registry key that could help you to get better screen resolution in all apps. I tested it on my device and it is giving good result
PATH: SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Control Panel\Theme
KEY: FontScale
VALUE: any value b/w 10 to 100 (recommended 50)
I hope it helps you
Click thanks if you like

Got any comparison pics?

Looks neat to me, using the UserPreferenceWidth did the same but for some apps only, i thought we could add the fifth button in action center with this too.
Any key for that?

you did not get a better screen, you just made the text smaller

under ease of access you can do this , Text size

No in ease of access you dont get as low as he has mentioned.
Use UserPreferenceWidth=75
that too gives lower font size

weird, it worked for me on Lumia 525, u need to restart the phone once u edit the registry, atleast that was what I had to do to get it to work. Remember to pin the Preview for developers app to the start screen before u restart the phone or else it disappears from the app list.
i.e if you use the PfD reg tool hack

That on my Lumia 525, pretty sweet, no much use though

Any key to change font?

This is a lot better to add this key insteed change font scale!!
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Control Panel\Theme]
"UserPreferenceWidth"=DWORD:0x0000004B
& for 5 actions button:
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Settings\QuickSettingElements\Pinned]
"AllowedQuickSettingsElements"=DWORD:00000005

With AllowedQuickSettingsElements=6 I have 6 actions button or my phone doesn't boot in your opinion?
Or nothing change?
