Changing EMUI font / customising stock themes - Honor 7 Themes and Apps

The font size in EMUI apps (eg Launcher, messaging etc) is narrower and smaller than the system font for regular Android apps (eg Gmail, Tapatalk)
I want to increase the size of the EMUI font to be the same as the regular apps. I tried increasing the font size in settings, but this also increases the font size across all apps.
How can I just change the EMUI theme font and size?
Is there a way to edit / customise the default EMUI themes? I tried the Huawei Theme Creator app from play Store but it appears you can only create a theme from scratch.
I'd also love to remove the app icon border masks too! Thanks

SMS font and bubbles too space wasteful
I agree! And also, is there a way how to PERMANENTLY decrease the size of the font and especially of the bubbles in the sms environment (for example in the same way as Telegram or Whatsapp show messages, i. e. very dense)? The bubbles are too big and the margins between sms text and bubble are too wide. I find it too space consuming, so very little messages fit into the screen. I mean, why would I have 5.2" screen phone if onle three of four messages fit in? I know I can pinch the screen to make it smaller, but this only last till I get out from the sms application. Is there any way how to fix this, please?

Someone help me remove these app border masks please!

You can't change the font, it's a lollipop bug

Does anyone know if it's fixed in Marshmallow?
Ie Can you change the size or choose an alternative font in EMUI

I'd like to know this too. The standard font (especially on sms) is too small and narrow. The style is also a little tedious. This is the only phone I've ever had that I can't change the font with. There has to be a way too do it, surely. Would rooting and a Font changer/installer app do the business? For all the nonsense that Samsung bring to the table at least you could easily change font's on their devices.

I managed to change the system font by creating a custom theme using a font within the 'ifont' app then dropping it into the emui hwthemes location and changing.

Windows Phone 7 Font {Segoe WP} Series

If you installed Visual Studio 2010 on your PC, you can simply go to "C:\Windows\Fonts\" dirctory..
and select this Family Font "Segoe WP" which stands for Segoe Windows Phone.
And this font is useful for themes devs and apps devs to create a real WP7 theme or app.
For those who do not have VS2010, simply download the attached file.
Thanks for sharing this
very nice, thanks
Thanks - this is exactly what I was looking for!
any chance you could just zip up the fonts vs. having an exe file? thanks
here you go!
Awesome, thanks for this. Now to muck around changing system fonts on my HD2..

Of course you don't, because you must install also Visual Studio Express For Windows Phone, it's free @ Microsoft.

how do you change the font sizes in WP7 , I posted this in another thread ,but maybe you guys know, in contacts , the font color is the same as the tile color , can I change the font color in contacts and still have a different tile color , also the size of the font in contacts is so small you need reading glasses to see it, where in the registry can I change the sizes?
These are taken from windows ce , same location, not sure what is what yet
System HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\GDI\SysFnt

Pop-up menu HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\GWE\Menu\PopFnt

Isn't this font identical to Segoe UI, the primary UI font for both Windows Vista and 7, which you therefore certainly already have on your system?

font size

i am new user of android i bought Galaxy s2 about three weeks ago so transform form Nokia so dont know much i have ginger bread is there anyway to change or simple reduce the font size to very low overall i like the small font.but cant figure out how ..couple of problem more like si there any way to change teh theam i see in google play but cant figure out how to apply them same goes for laucher please help,
Go to System Settings >> Display. There wou will find the option to change your font type and font size.
nope there is only style option three of them not a size option
Download fronts packs from play store and apply any small front tht sud do the work for uh...
Or if you are rooted... Then use rom tool box... From play store it has lots of fronts small big as uh want...
Cheers

Also you can install "font changer" and change any font you want. instead of installing a complete font pack, it can change fonts seperately. and it lets you use your normal ttf fonts from your computer.
I also want to change font size not font style. Tried big font but always restart my foreground app when turning my phone.

To use themes you'll need to install a 3rd party launcher, such as go launcher, adw, or nova, etc. Thee are many lunchers to choose from and they give you much more customizability over stock/default launcher.

try SpareParts app see if it works on ics, or flash CM9 rom samsung removed the "font size" feature from ics
If your phone is rooted, you can try to change the DPI with an app like DPI Changer.
(DPI Custom : 212 is great)

Kitkat Sms app Fonts

Hi,
Just updated to Kitkat and notice that the fonts are off in the stock messaging app.
If I reduce the font to "normal" in the threads page, the font becomes too big in the conversations page. Decreasing here results in a much smaller font in the threads page. Seems like the correlations of fonts between the two pages is off by 1.
Annoying!!
You do know it's controlled by the volume buttons correct? You don't have to set a font size in the app settings.
Have a great day!

[Theme] Better Stock V1

Hello everyone, this theme is a better (in my opinion) version of the stock EMUI 5.1 theme.
Things I changed:
- App icons (imported from the Pacific Blue EMUI theme)
- Changed the background of the notification bar from transparent black to dark grey
- Disabled the dividing lines in settings
Link to the file: https://goo.gl/rEHBhY
Enjoy
Excellent thank you. Minor changes that improves the theme. Using it on my Honor 8 Pro. One last thing I would personally like is blue message bubbles instead of green in the messaging app.

Thanks, I will try to improve the theme when I have some free time, so stay tuned
This is a really great theme, but on my P10 the font weight seems a little to heavy.
I didn't change the font, the font is the stock Huawei font
Yea default it changes to some bold font
I agree. After applying this theme every font became bold, including the google keyboard.
WARNING TO ALL:
Even after changing back to stock theme and trying other 3rd party themes and restarting the phone, everything is still bold font!

I managed to change the font back to stock, but widget fonts are also messed up (see attached screenshots).
Can a factory reset solve this issue?
If you want to reset the font, just apply this theme. https://goo.gl/eqCJMe

You're correct I made my own dark theme, and only just checked and I notice the same issue. I will have a look for the offending white line, and see if I can find where it's coming from.

Black EMUI 9 themes on Huawei Mediapad M5 10.8
Hi Guys and Gals
I've made some tests with offered EMUI 9 themes by Themes Manager. There are a lot of dark themes which are suitable for our Mediapad. I found best solutions with Deep+Black-1.9-NL.hwt and Evanescence-v.4.NL.hwt both developed by XDA Recognized Themer maurydes.
Unfortunately there are some problems especially with Settings and Contacts. There is an ugly white background behind Settings caption. The subheadings on Contacts changing from good looking in portrait mode to bad looking form in landscape mode.
Chris
Dark theme
I have long searched for a theme with a dark background in settings, contacts and other Huawei programs for my Huawei Mediapad M5 10.8 with EMUI 9.1. With the large number of themes tested, problems typically arise when displaying texts or symbols in various fields of the respective programs. Either there is light text on a light background or dark text on a dark background, so that in extreme cases there is no legibility. The best results in my tests were Evanescence-v.4.1-Full-9.1 (although I don't like the icons - OK, you can change them).
However, there are still some rough edges.
As with many other themes, the narrow gray delimiters between the groups of contacts when changing to landscape mode mutate into wide white stripes in which the letters visually disappear. Well then you have to use the contacts program and only in portrait mode.
In the themes program, individual symbols disappear in the same color background - e.g. the trash icons for deleting themes.
So far I have not found any serious problems in the settings. If you disregard the fact that the switch in the settings is not easy to recognize and that you cannot recognize the trash can in the themes program here either.
Enjoy !

Mediapad M5 Themes
When a service was carried out by a authorized workshop (the well-known USB-C wobbler), a 'proper' Themes app was also installed on my media pad (CMR-AL09), in which, in addition to the few pre-installed ones, some new themes appeared in the store. These are all 'real' Themes for the media pad with a large screen and landscape and portrait view. Among other things, can be seen from the thumbnails in the topics. Themes for phones include no preview images for landscape mode and therefore cannot be displayed in landscape mode in the Themes app. The Magazine Unlock Method is also defined in some of these Themes, and I had no idea how it worked before.
Theme files with the ending .hwt are actually zip files with picture elements - called drawable - and xml files, in which the modifications are described. These are evaluated by the EMUI system for EMUI's own elements. The individual files such as com.example.android.notepad are also zip files that in turn contain drawables and xml files. They are evaluated by framework-res for general Android apps or its extension by Huawei framework-res-hwext for Android and EMUI apps. The file com.example.android.notepad is therefore responsible for the Huawei App Notepad.
A lack of all offered Mediapad Themes is, however, that no apps change their appearance. For example, no dark Themes for settings, contacts etc. are realized
I have modified one of the offered Mediapad Themes. I have inserted the program components for modifying various apps from other Themes that are actually intended for phones. I have among other things uses the themes Evanescence Full (LCD) .hwt, Nightlike.hwt and Skyline.hwt from the range of the Themes Manager app from the Google Play Store. I've also experimented a little with a few different lock screen solutions. E.g. a dynamic lock scene realized with the help of the ZookingSoft Theme Engine.
Sounds like you've done a good job creating a theme that best imitates dark mode for use on the mediatab. You should upload your theme for us to download and use?
Puzzles me why Huawei would remove a feature that's already built into android 9, overall I am not keen on their take on android in general - it seems a bit butchered.
