As the question asked, what font are you using on your V20?
(please include a screen shot, if you can)
I use Noto Sans Regular on my daily driver (stock-based ROM, fonts in status bar are different) and Droid Sans on my other LG V20 (LineageOS-based, font in status bar for WiFi network name, date, and time is also Droid Sans). Nothing fancy here, and the two fonts are very similar. I just prefer something easy to read, along with being able to distinguish an uppercase i from a lowercase L.

Is it possible to make a full theme change for windows mobile 6? I mean not like Wisbar Apps or any other type that is similar to it. I mean changing the colors, backgrounds of the phone and any other winmo6 embedded software.
Here is an example of want i want it to do. lets say that you are changing the theme of your winmo6 to blue but you want to keep the same look and feel to it with out install a cab to change the phone the blue color in stead when you change the color to blue it will change everything on your device blue too.
thanks
Its already been done. Search on here for Shantz changer.

it does not change the phone color just the today screen
There's two applications I know of - both change various aspects of your colour schemes; one is "RC Mod" (get it here) and the other is called "UI Tweaker" (from here).
Have a look, see what you think

first link is uesless, it's in italian for the most part. And UI Tweaker just changes colors, not the dial pad.
Unless someone comes out with an app that lauches the color changes as well as a cab install for the phone dialer, there isn't a current app to do this. This is one of the drawbacks I have hate about WM. It was never designed to do whole system color coding, you can change the theme which does change system colors, but there is still a lot of white coloring thru out the OS and the dial pads, keyboards, etc never change color with the theme.

I must have misunderstoof the first post incorrectly then, but I didn't see the OP ask about changing the dialer.....all of the colours on the dialer are images anyway, so it makes no difference what colour the rest of the UI gets changed to...
The first link is useless coz the attached images are dead links and the post is mostly in Italian because the author is, like, Italian....you obviously stopped reading after the first couple of words
I agree that WM 6.0 lacks any decent "UI tweaking" capabilities - hopefully MS will address that deficiency in 6.1, or 7.0, or 8.0, or........maybe not
Mark.
Since the dialer, theme and everything else is controlled by images and registry edits I believe you just have to delve in with Mortscript and learn how to script it yourself. Mortscript will then batch process it in the same way you can do it yourself manually. But once you do it'll be pretty sweet. You can have a iPhone script, a Touch script, etc. for one click overall theme change. Its just getting familiarized with Mortscript and digging into dialpad CABs to see what registry/files need to be modified/copied. Heck if you are going that route you might as well see if its possible to manually copy over some of the welcome screens as well. =P
Just curious, do you honestly switch your entire phone theme that often? And need the phone pad/dialer to be changed as well? Have you even tried installing a dialpad CAB, then another one on top of it, then another one on top of that one...just to see if it creates any corruption?
Shantz is great cause it does exactly what it needs to do on changing the theme or background and he even has an option to allow you to run an external program (mortscript) so that it can copy the background onto other programs such as S2U2 and WAD (and in the future...possibly PointUI Home background).
So if you are willing to give up on the idea of installing a dialpad CAB (perhaps install a neutral gray or black one), the task will be a lot easier with Shantz and a little bit of Mortscript coding.

This software is not to change colors, but it has a theme modifier feature that changes the color of that ugly scroll bar on right today screen, and the default buttons etc. Very fun! There is a trial version on website.
TEST IT
Have a look at this program:
http://www.codeppc.com/telechargements/themegence/themegence.htm
it can create new themes or modify an existing one (you can copy the existing one from your windows directory)....
Having worked with rlToday, and currently coding an app to do something similar, I have wanted a couple of times to display text with an outline (ie white text with black outline so it is visible on any background) but simply printing a black version of the text in a bigger font underneath white text in a smaller fontsize does not work because of the way fonts are scaled.
However, this got me thinking...
What if one were to design a set of custom fonts for this purpose?
The way I am thinking, you would need two fonts - an "inner" version and an "outer" version. The outer version would have to be scaled about the centre of the letter, not about the baseline, and I would imagine that the spacing on the inner font would need to be as wide as the characters on the outer font.
So, before I waste loads of time getting font editors and seeing if it can be done, I would like to ask if anyone knows if this would be feasible, or if they have successfully done it or failed.
Another idea I suppose would be to print the outer font 4 times (left one, right one, up one, down one) - I guess this would have the same effect but at the cost of speed.
In an ideal world, it would be nice to not have to make an inner font - just to have to make an outer version of existing fonts, but I am not sure this would work unless you could set the spacing of the stock inner font wider.
Comments, suggestions please.
The classic path approach isn't working on WM?
Ultimatelaunch does it...I have two colored text and it looks pretty sweet. The font is called 'juice' not sure if that has anything to do with it though
What is this "Classic path" method you speak of?
At a guess I think you mean drawing a line around the font programatically?
This is not an option for some things, unless you have access to the source code - it would be nice to have a solution that could be implimented without needing to code for it in the app. For example, rlToday would benefit nicely from just such a system.
OK, so it has been done before then, although I did search around the net before I posted, honest!
It seems that the term used for the "inner" font is a "fill" font. I am going to try and find a freeware fill + outline font combo, pls let me know if you are aware of any.

When you say "Ultimatelaunch" does it - what do you mean? I bought UL and I do not see the font on my system or in the UL dir.
I see a "juice" font on the internet that is a fill+outline set, but it is not free.
So if it is possible, I may well have a bash at doing a free one myself. At the very least it would be worth doing just the numbers for SMS / email counts in rlToday
An update here:
My main use for something like this was to be with applications such as rlToday.
However, stefanux is now writing XIAMultiTheme (XMT) which is compatible with, and extends rlToday. One of the things XMT does is allow you to specify a directory as a font, and it will look for image files named accordingly
ie if you wanted to print "123" you would need "1.png", "2.png" and "3.png" in the directory you specify.
I have made a 16px high font of numbers in transparent PNG (Great for overlaying message counts onto icons) and added it to the XMT project for now.
If the need is still there in a while I will look at making a fill font combo and releasing it, maybe as part of the XMT project, but for now this is a good enough solution for me.

I also posted this in the CM forums (copy/paste)
forum(dot)cyanogenmod(dot)com/topic/9632-theme-systemgt-and-systemst-metamorph/
Overview:
In this thread you'll find my System_ themes. All icons in this pack are original, as they've been created by yours truly. About 50% of the notifications bar has been kanged from the NexDEEP theme for SystemGT. I say 50% because some of it has been tweaked slightly.
I don't have anything against the stock Android UI, but I did feel it could use some tweaks. I wanted to stuff more icons up top so I created the set below.
(I can't post links/urls)
That idea failed, but I still ended up with cool new icons. I needed something to supplement them, so I called upon the NexDeep theme because I liked the texture. Why recreate something that's already been done? After all, I wasn't originally planning on distributing this. There was a request to see more, so I was convinced to share.
Preview:
(I still can't post links/urls)
There isn't much more to show, because just about everything else is just minor changes. Consider this more like the black bar mod, on steroids.
Well, without further ado, here's the new SystemGT link: www(dot)mediafire(dot)com/?md1a03b7u31mwem
And for you stockers who want a little more flavor, SystemST: www(dot)mediafire(dot)com/?ewwh75abo3slqh1
What this does:
Gives you custom system icons (They act like switches. SystemGT: white=on, gray=off, SystemST: black=on, gray=off)
Round battery tweak
Transparent scrollbars
Stock color Power Widget (optional)
Instructions:
Download MetaMorph from the Market (optionally use NinjaMorph)
Download File onto your SD Card and open it from MetaMorph
Choose your options (framework is the one you want, settings is optional)
Apply theme
Reboot
Reapply wallpaper image
The following is only necessary if no "black bar themes" have yet been applied (SystemGT only)
Go into CyanogenMod settings and change desired text colors to opaque white (#FFFFFFFF)
Enable display of battery percentage (if not already ticked, optional)
Change color of Notification Power widget indicator to #FF00BB00 (CM6.1.x, optional)
Reboot
Done
Notes: This failed for me on CM6.1 RC1 but worked again in RC3. I've never loaded RC2. Also worked in Nightly #160, CM5.x, CM6.0.x.
Can work with other themes if user is knowledgeable in tweaking XML files (for text colors). I'm also not a real dev, so I wouldn't know how to support your ROM if you've made prior tweaks.
PS The SystemST screenshot is an old one back when I had stock FroYo, before CM6 was out.
Please, if you do decide to use my icons to pack into other themes, at least give me credit. It's all I ask. Thanks.
Hey xda,
I'm on 4.1.2 at this point, but 3.0 was my favorite update as far as aesthetics goes. I really like the Honeycomb fonts, colors and icons. My question is this: How do I change just the status bar clock to the original HC font while still on JB?
I have tried changing: (found at this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=937802)
AndroidClock.ttf
AndroidClock_Highlight.ttf
AndroidClock_Solid.ttf
Clockopia.ttf
and they didn't work. AndroidClock and the related files represent the lock screen click, and when I changed Clockopia, nothing happened. Is the font for the status bar clock in framework or SystemUI?
Thanks guys, keep rockin!
Just so you know, the Honeycomb time font for the lock screen had a solid and highlight part, which needed two layers. You'll only be able to use "AndroidClock.ttf" I think, since it's the "full" version. Not quite exact but close enough.
yeah, the clockopia one is blended and complete. do you know which font represents the status bar clock so I'll be able to change it?
Thanks for the reply.

Hi everyone,
I'm looking for a module that allows you to be able to change the aqua/cyan/blueish/green colour when you go into phone, appears in calls, the top boarder of the text messages and the settings background colour. If anyone could tell me a download that allows you to change it I would greatly appreciate it! Thank you in advance.
There probably isn't such a thing. The closest approximation is probably Xposed framework or the Wanam module that change a few dozen specific elements e.g. status bar colour or clock colour. But I don't recall them tackling any of the phone screens.
The other places to search are the Play Store and XDA. You're unlikely to find anything more comprehensive than the Xposed collection of tweaks though since there is no API that would make it easy to change system theme colours. Instead Themers make changes here and there and some of that gets adopted or developed in parallel in Xposed.
You could browse or search XDA for themed phone packages. Perhaps there is one that appeals to you. But an app that lets you dial in custom colours is unlikely. Xposed is the notable exception if it has any phone related settings.
