I am sure it is possible to create one. Using the themes already created for Windows 7 systems, probably is not a good idea though. With the changes made to Windows Explorer, and even to the theme files themselves, you are better off not trying it, unless you’re ok spending some time trying to undo things if something goes wrong. If you do feel the desire to try it out, use a Virtual Environment (vmWare or virtual box work good)

Gmail small font size....can old version be installed on 4.2

The new version of Gmail has small font size with no way to increase it. Can an old version of Gmail be installed on 4.2? If so, how?
Thanks.

You can increase the font by going to system settings and then click display then select the size. Easy

This increases font size system wide and does not work well with other apps or widgets. The old gmail app allowed the font to be changed within the app.

Installing the old 4.1.2 version does not work. It crashes instantly. Time to ditch the Gmail app I guess.

Have you ever tried K9 Mail? The font sizes are fully customizable, and they have new test builds that are finally integrating threaded message view. Plus I love the dark theme!

In 4.2, you can use pinch to zoom in order to change the font size when reading a message. Is that what you were wanting?

Pinch and zoom causes the text to go off screen and requires constant pan and scan to read. I really don't see the need for pinch and zoom for text....pictures maybe.

cool, maybe you'll like it. i find it to be very visually pleasing, once you get it all customized to your liking. the market version might not have the threaded message view in it yet, but the test builds do:

one thing that sometimes kept me from using it before was that every message was displayed separately, even if from the same thread! but now that is changing. also the messages are pushed to your device just as fast as with the native Gmail app.

That's interesting, pinch to zoom does nothing when I try it in Gmail 4.2. :-/

You have to go to settings/general settings and enable auto fit messages.

No surprise on Gmail. Going from Yahoo Mail to Gmail on the PC I couldn't believe that font changes were limited to a few sizes with one being too small and one too big for my tastes.
Lucky for me I'm happy with changing the system font size on my N7.

i happened to try a Gmail 4.0.5 apk, and it installed easily as a data app, just by clicking 'install'! it has the old font size options and may be worth a try. i will probbly try using it, since i like it better than Gmail 4.2!

ok, i also got 4.1.2 to work, it seems maybe they work if simply installed as a data app. here is the apk i have running on my N7:
