[TUT] Changing the system and menu fonts - HTC Excalibur

In order to change the system font, and the fonts of the menus...you must:
1) drop the font file in the windows directory (i.e. font.ttf)
2) edit the following registry values with the new font name
a) hkey_local_machine/system/gdi/sysfnt/nm
b) hkey_local_machine/system/gwe/menu/barfont/nm
c) hkey_local_machine/system/gwe/menu/popfont/nm
3) soft reset (reboot)

i am sure that in the same registry keys used to change font some of the others values are what control size and weight of the font, but i am not sure what numerical value you would need to put in to change it...i will leave that open to the seasoned forum people...you could cheat and just get a font with a smaller appearance from somewhere like here.

if i want to make my font half size from the original, which one should i change?

Will this also affect the font in Min Opera?

Are we able to change the font in start menu? Would love to have it in different font and color to compliment wallpaper

it changes the system font, as well as the font of the drop menus.....in other words, it covers just about everything font related (i am uncertain about the icon text for the start menu...i use 3vo and hide them...it changes the text at the top bar, though...)

Testing
It was impossible for me not to try this tweak
Results on my S620:
Only change that seems relevant is the one on HKLM\System\GDI\SYSFNT\Nm.
Changes on the other 2 keys had no effect.
None of the 3 keys changed the font for:
Start Menu labels
Opera Mini
Contacts list
Text messages
And other things...
It did change font used by Internet Explorer on its UI. When browsing with it, results are mixed.
I am particularly interested in changing the font for Start Menu labels. Well... not even the font itself: would make me happy just to make them "Bold". Fiddled with the Wt value on the 3 keys but saw no change. Anyone knows how to do that?

it doesnt change all the font on windows. only part of it. im using wm 6.1. so, exactly, how to change all the font on windows?? is it possible?? need help.. thanks.

Try some of these Ive had some luck changing the barfnt,popfnt,or OOmfnt,but depending on the font used looks a little iffy, so I mainly stick with the sysfnt.

Please reply on this silly matter !!
Hey guys wanna change the fonts and menu but not gettin the registry edit please guide thru.

thanks for the reply..

The simplest method to change your Windows Mobile Core Font!
Take two font files (one for normal and one for bold attribute)
Rename the normal font as segoe.ttf (only if its truetype font) and the bold font as segoeb.ttf
Replace the /Windows/segoe.ttf and /Windows/segoeb.ttf with the ones you renamed above. Reboot and Viola!
To Change again you have to restart ur phone once before over-writing again or use your favorite file replacer

I *MIGHT* have found something....

Ok, first of all, can someone point me to a screen capture software? I know that smart tool kit can do it, but i dont like all the other things it does. Ok, now on to the thing i *MIGHT* have found.
Each one of the sliding panels has an icon on the top left that represents what its function is for that panel. I found a way to change those icons. Im not sure if this has been done, but if it hasnt i wouldnt mind showing you guys how to change that icon. Once i get a hold of that software, ill take a screen cap to show you guys. The easy way to change them to a color icon is by simply relocating the location of each icon using the registry. Windows Mobile 6 has color icons availalbe of all the white icons we get with a stock WM6.1 device. I dont know why MS or HTC for that matter, chose the plain jane white icons, but i decided to just map them to the color icons in the set that MS includes. Not only does the sliding panels look nice with the NRG icon bar on top, but if you really wanted to change the icons to whatever you want, you can do that. By simply using a PE explorer to view the bronzeres.dll, and moddifing the icons by injecting them in place of the ones you are linking to.
Once again, im not sure if you guys know how to change them or not.
for the software, check your pm's
For screen capture I use
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2227563&postcount=14
As far as changing the icons on the panels do you mean like this
Notice that I change the icon when a panel becomes selected.

Exactly like that. I know you can change the icon, like one can be 2301;2300 on the registry so it becomes "active" when you scroll to it. Ive been digging into the .dll's and registry ALOT the past 2 days, ive become....obsessed with it, really. Thats why i thought i might have "discovered" something.
Ive found some "Developer Modes" as well. Enter code *#*#364#*#*, and it displays some info that i dont really understand.

yea and you can also use icons outside of the .dll too.
look at these screenshots and see that they are nothing like the default ones that come in the .dll

Hahaha
very nice Dude, switching up the dlls lol...
Yea i changed all my GF's icons on her Dash. Heres something off topic, after people have seen the WM6.1 and the hacks ive done to my phone, ive made about 6 people buy the S620...lol.
On another note, how on earth do you change the background on the start menu? Ive seen some posts about this buy they all seem either confusing or wrong. Also, is it possible to change the icons on the top when the start menu is showing so that its consistent with the home color icons by NRG?

Can you post up the changes to make to the registry to enable all of these icons you're using? I'm assuming they are the stock WM6.0 icons?
Thanks.

Change 6.1 Clock font and style

well, now im working with Kavana's 6.1 rom and i'm satisfied for now, except:
i yesterday flashed my Witzard to 6.1 and there i could modify the style of the clock shown on home-screen. (so from the ugly LCD-Font to some 3d-like textured font.) Is there a similar way on the S620 to change the clock-style?
and - any chance to change to clock in the titlebar (in programs) from 12-hour am/pm to 24 hour-mode?

In your Windows directory on your phone you will find this file CHome_320x240.cpr if you copy onto comp and open up with notepad you will see all the panels and the text associated to these you can edit font size position etc, keep a copy of your original .cpr and then do your edits and place back on phone, you can use CHomeRefresh to update your homescreen rather than rebooting phone, place the file on phone and run after edits.
Free fonts @ dafont.com
Everytime you place a font in the windows dir on phone reboot then place the ammended .cpr on phone and run CHomeRefresh.
The name of the font needed is the font name not the file name the font name can be found by clicking on font file on comp.
Need any more info PM me.

whoooooo. im give this a try...
Damm Stylez, ya beat me to the reply lol
Must admit, im loving your screen.....ive got about 4 .cpr to choose from now. Follow Stylez post and ya cant go wrong. Laters Bud
thanks for the info, it worked.
Thanks shaz3 for comments, chilly and me been working lots on fonts .cpr over the last week
satani glad it worked any chance of a screeny?
The main things to play with in the .cpr are FontFamily= which is the name of the font you want there Top: This is how far down from the panel larger number further down, left: space from left of panel "changes for clock as it's @ 0 so to move left you use - small increasements as -30 moves alot to left", The other is FontStyle which can be changed to "Bold"
Just another thing to add and thats if you put the date in the center to which is left:120 then the wi-fi will cover over the clock and make it look unclean, you can delete this line of text:
<!-- WiFi -->
<Text ID="WiFi" Left="15" Top="81" Width="145" Height="19" FontFamily="Nina" FontSize="9" FontStyle="Regular" Wrap="False" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Trimming="EllipsisCharacter"></Text>
Just make sure there is no space and the next line buts up so as it will now look like this
<!-- Alarm -->
<Image ID="Alarm" Left="282" Top="8" Width="22" Height="22"/>
</Layer>
</Layer>
<Layer ID="ClockCondensed" Visible="False" Width="320" Height="36">
Now on CClock it wont display the Wi-Fi connecting but you have an icon @ top anyway.
Have fun
Have attached a txt of remove wi-fi as it loses composition in thread.
It be nice if someone could come up with a chome clock styles cab that you could install and have different ones to choose from, though I wouldn't mind learning how to make my own.

If you follow Stylez instructions on this post and use the cpr/dll file changer then you can just make ya own cpr files and use the font style of your choosing. Along with a decent background pic, your gonna end up with a seriously personalised phone.

Thats cool the .dll changer you will need 2 .dla files in the dir to be able to choose one, i copied a .dla and renamed to b.dla in there so all the .dla files could be chosen, named b.dla as it always @ the top of the list.

sure ... here ya go:
well, i used the background before in 6.0 where i had date, operator and time right below the top-bar and only recent programs and calendar in one line at the bottom ... but still looks good.
Cool screeny
You could edit the .cpr for the date and operator to all be centered?
here ya go guys....just an example of how you can move the time, date and operator logo by playing with the .cpr file. Big thanks to Stylez. Its a working team bud lol

I won't take offence but lots of people have managed to follow my direction regarding font change and the .txt pad that is attached on the Change Font .cpr thread is taken straight from the CHome_320x240.cpr so no typos, i am british and it's my first language.
Re: changing the font on taskbar:
You'll need a registry editor, I use Resco, then you need to navigate the registry to HKEY_Local_Machine\System\GDI\SYSFNT and change the Nm key from Tahoma (I think it was) to The font name you want to use. It must be the font name AND NOT THE FILENAME.
Also attach your CHome_320x240.cpr from win.dir and i'll edit it for you.

Ok here you go you will want to use the .dll .cpr changer you will need 2 .dla's in the location of your new .dla so just make a d.dla file so as you can choose your new bronzeres.dla "it's a bug in the changer"
Follow the instructions on post and keep a copy of your original bronzers.dll to which if goes wrong change to bronzeres.dla then use the changer.
Put the the font attached in your win.dir and reboot it will sort the font issue especially with Opera Mini

There's not much activity in this forum... Guess this font is giving you a hard time! Too bad I only know how to flash a ROM and install some cabs...
Just wanted to let you know that I appreciate your work so far. Ít's just a little too small, but I'm already getting used to it...
I think that this font suits the new 6.5 "today" screen well!
This font looks better on a screenshot than on my device.
Now, I want my Tahoma back. Can anyone point to cab with standard Tahoma font so I can replace it?

just uninstall, and then do a soft-reset, I believe the tahoma fonts will be reloaded back because it's a ROM file.
This is a really nice addition Gtrab. would you be so kind as to extend the font for it to work in manila as well? I believe that's achieved by copying the files and renaming them to another fontname, the one that manila uses, I don't know the specifics though.
@Korbicz: Have you uninstalled it ? IT WILL
@Angelusz: Yes I also changed the manila font but I want to solve the size issue before releasing it
I did. Soft reset after. Nothing changed. Tried changing to some other font with Xperia Tweak. Strange things happened - some items (menus, icon names, start menu) got new font, rest was still showing SE-style font.
EDIT: OK, managed to fix this. I extracted tahoma.ttf and tahomabd.ttf from my Diamond, copied them to Xperia with Resco File Explorer, soft-reset - voila!. I've got good old Tahoma back .
just a thought, maybe gtrab you may want to instasll the font using a different name, and use the font alias to replace Tahoma with the new font you have...

Thanks for the advice but I think that's not necessary since I tested the install-uninstall routine many times before posting the CAB, and it works
The original Tahoma font is auto-restored when this skin is uninstalled (unless you install it twice, as with other system-files replacing apps, because then windows mobile will be confused about the orignal one), you can test it by yourself

I thought if you just simply delete the file, the system will restore the missing file from the ROM.
anyway, here's the screenshot of the font that's 1.5x bigger than the original size you have
I think it's too huge, maybe I will try 1.2x ..

that's not what he is referring to...this is not an accent change
I played around a bit yesterday and nearly f*cked up one of the themes
I changed only pageBackGroundColor to some greenish ones as i wanted on my homescreen, but everytime the theme got f*cked pretty bad. After first change _everything_ was black except systray/status bar and i had to change design blind, after 2nd change everything was white with some pretty bad distortions and again had to change blind.
So can anyone tell me, which exactly to change or do i need to change all of them to my wanted color? :/

do you kiss your mother with that mouth?
Have you tried deploying the original themes via the registry deployer?
PM me if you want help in german
Can some one put a picture of home screen after doing this?
Thanks

no comment on that one ^^
yeah, i just changed the edited registry values back to normal manually.
so which entry is the one to edit the homescreen background?
it should be just pageBackGroundColor and sysTrayBackGroundColor right?
//edit
oh man, i forgot "FF" in front of hex-color-code
now it works
so it has to look like #FFhexcodeofyourcolor -.-
Nice to see these options get out...
But...Has anyone devised a way to not only change the background but even apply a wallpaper as background? Now THAT would be really nice
not yet...
Blacktiles are worthless... it just shows an all black tiles on a black screen. Blacktiles on white is meh.
I confirm changing PageBackGroundColor changes the home screen and apps background very cool, also systry color works as well. Just reset ur device after the changer for it to take place. And it looks like the first variable has not effect .
works great. Hopefully we get an unlock once the update drops (this weekend?).
I can change themes color perfectly by using Advanced Config
But cannot change the background home screen ( it's just black or light )
Can you show me for a details to change the background homescreen as a custom picture ?
Hi all,
Is it possible to get screenshot (or photos) of your changes?
Thanks in advance

Use registry edit and goto:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\Themes\1]
"PageBackgroundColor"="#FF......"
"SysTrayBackgroundColor"="#FF......"
change these to what color you want, and make sure to leave the first 2 FF then your color code. Here is a link to some colors.

as for changing it to a picture it is still not possible
