Is there anyway of increasing the sms text size as it is being written? It's possible to increase the size of the conversation text above but what about the flashing cursor and the text being written...

Hi laguna33p,
The effect on font size change is only work on std SMS, there is no effect on font if u use SMS messaging.
you have to edit the mui file and it's a bit cumbersome process. I explained it somewhere on this forum, some search should reveal it

Infact even in traditional mode, the font size is too small...must be a reg hack somewhere to increase font size?

there is a way to make more little the font in sms? in writing and reading?
try to turn the wheel.
?????
sorry? what you mean?
i need smaller font also in writing a sms
hm, sorry, scroling the wheel (that means to turn your thumb clockwise or anticlockwise around the large button in the lower center) only changes the size of the messages you received. I don't know whether it's possible to change only that size but
a) you can change the general size of font in the Properties of windows
b) you can, via registry editing, increase the amount of space you see from your message
any 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.
Hi guys,
How do you change the text size when reading an SMS in "Traditional Mode".
The text is very small and I'd like to have it at a medium size.
Attached the screenshots.
Thanks a lot for your help.
I dont think there is a definitive answer for this. If you search this forum you will see that a few people have posted with the very same issue (myself included). There was only one guy who bothered to post a possible solution but i couldnt follow what he was saying.
When you change font size under settings it doesnt change font size for Sense Messaging but it does change it for email.
I wrote to HTC about it and they basically gave me the run around.

So there's nothing out yet for fixing this?
As far as i am aware no.
Write to HTC customer support to see if they are any more helpful.
If i recall correctly i wrote in and they replied back saying there was no fix. I then said that they didnt care about any of their customers who had poor eyesight and they replied back with a stock "we do care and are looking into it" response.
maybe you will have more luck then i did.
while having any message open, press Menu then text size,you should have 5 sizes to chose from.

this way only change text size in conversation mode, not in traditional mode.
and then when you start a new conversation text size become smaller...
it's really a bad bug!

You are right. then it must be set in the registry or in the htc messages config files.
i will look at the files later on.

As i said above... HTC seem to be ignoring this. Its quite a bad bug imo.

Is it possible to have bigger fonts size to read SMS in the Sense (I know how to make it in windows mode). Any cab or registry mod? Thank in advance.
Went searching the registry and found an obvious entry. Changed the default setting of 2 to 5, soft reset and I no longer have to squint my eyes !
HKLM\Software\HTC\HTCMessaging\Fonts\FontScale
A word of caution to those with huge amount of sms. I suspect it may cause lagging with the increased font size.
Open a SMS, menu -> font size?
How to increase sms font?is it opossible or we need to waith official update.
managed to find the potential place where this could be altered in the registry editor.. however none of the ones i have installed have access to the particular keys...
HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Microsoft/SMS.. but cannot get any further.
Is there any way to get in to this registry to change font size
dont think there is.. but there is a lengthy forum discussion on the Microsoft forums about font size in general..
