Hi, does anyone consider developing Apps that will enable WP7 users to adjust the system font to be bigger? Like the feature WM6.5 has? Any idea why this feature is NOT included in WP7 but in WM6.5?
Would be great! Font of SMS needs to be increase because really little. Is there a reg voice that be able to increase the dimension of sms/mms/mail fonts?

This is my first post and hopefully it raises an interesting issue.
I am partially sighted and have just got an XDA II. I really like it but I find some of the fonts in some of the applications to be rather small. I know about increasing Font size in Contacts/Calendars/Tasks etc. but I'm thinking more on the SMS/Email inboxes and on the Today screen.
In comparison I have used an SPV E200 which has accessability features available from the Settings menu. I had a large font homescreen set abd large fonts were used throughout the system - it made reading SMS's a breeze.
Is there a awy of increasing the font size througfht out all the applications as the smartphone seems to allow.
At a bare minimum I want to be able to create and read sms and emails using a larger font.
If the system font cannot be increased in these applications, has any one got suggestions for PPC PE applications that I can download and use.
I look forward to the responses.
Regards,
Mike
Yeah you can change everything, font sizes, colors,,, everything..
Download Nyditot Virtual Display (http://www.nyditot.com)
It has an appearance option much like the one in Windows 2000/XP
I'm an O2 Xda Atom Life user and I'm using the ROM Xda_Atom_Life_WM6_CHT_RC2140907B2. I have a problem with the Windows Live Today plugin, 'cause the fonts are too large and they use a lot of space of the Today page. How can I change the size of fonts of this plugin? I have checked the registry but I could find no way to do so.
I don't know whether this only happens in the CHT Atom Life or not, so I decided to put the thread here...
Thanks if anyone has ideas with it.

HKLM/Control panel/Stylus>96DPI....Current Font...I have large fonts and set at 1100. For smaller fonts, set lower than 1100...soft reset.
Thanks a lot^^!
But this will change some of the font size of the system at the same time...
Anyway thanks for the solution!

The hack should affect homescreen fonts only. There are other hacks for the system fonts.
Change Font for whole system
How do you change font size for the whole system?

No, I found that some font size of the system programs is smaller after hacking, e.g. Message Centre, Windows Live, words in Office Mobile programs...
But never mind, I love the font size after changing...
I've also found that the option of "Settings==>System==>Screen==>Fonts Size" changed after hacking... It seems that the registry hacking is not really necessary...?

Read my thread" Words and sentences large enough to be seen and read easily" this forum. The thread has the tweak and screenshots to change the system fonts.
I've tried every SMS program I could find out there. The one in pocketCM contacts, SMS chat, SmileySMS.
I found it that I prefer the normal windows mobile messaging app that comes with windows mobile 6.1 ( I did use the search tool )
Since I use a touch pro... I was wondering can someone make a diamond theme for the messaging application? Just changing the background, font colors, and some icons?
I wish I had at least a shred of skill in doing this stuff. I would have loved to do it myself.
So.... is it possible?

Pretty sure its not possible, at least easily - the messaging app is hardcoded so changing stuff would probably be more hassle than its worth.
Also, this should really be in the Questions forum
Oh, sorry I keep forgetting about that forum
...
Well, there is a utility for changing the background image, or background color, fonts and stuff. I think it's called SMS-Tweaker.
I don't mind cause my ROM, Manila ported ONYX, has the Message Tab, and i tap the message and respond in the thread. You know what, I'll place a black background and white text to match the theme.
LOL,

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/
I am looking for a very simple font viewer or at least a small program with a font viewer built in. I have a larger amount of fonts on my phone but no way to see what the font actually looks like. Any help would be appreciated.
